Shake-Up, Break-Up and Wake-Up

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob received a little shake-up when in '68 they turned on 'Abraham, Martin and John' * Moses, Muhammed and Jesus No longer seem to please us 'Environment, Equity and Energy' Causes now spiritually seize us The U.S., Britain and France a ghost of a NATO alliance The mantle of peace they don faced with China, Russia and Iran _________________________________ *a hit song by Dion de Mucci about Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F.

Oh, I hope you like the song, Alexis. I remember liking it at age 18. Sometimes that doesn't count for much at '39,' however. lol. Happy listening! Smiles, Gershon

All I understand from your comment is that you've lumped me with Trump. I guess that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :) gw
