Politics and Ice Cream

Start to talk Obamacare With a perfect stranger, And you never know if you’ll Hit pay dirt or find danger. Politics is tricky stuff So maybe your rapport With someone you just met today While at the Jersey shore, Could turn out to be based upon Agreement on one thing; But even if it was, A little pleasure it did bring. A sunny day, an ice cream cone, Good friends and to the mix, Toss in an unknown person Willing to talk politics… And what you get is just a smidge Of life as lived each day In towns both big and tiny All across the U.S.A.

Many will agree with me on ice cream! Politics, not so much. :-) Enjoyed, Ilene.

I'm grateful for the very tactful way you did this one!! I think it's all in the "eye of the beholder" on obamacare. For my eyes it's fantastic since I get denied by insurance companies simply for having had a shoulder surgery in the past!

Especially relevant in light of the Supreme Court ruling today! You know what they say... religion and politics are verboten in any conversation 'cos there WILL be fireworks! A super piece, Ilene!! Best wishes, Keith
