Anything secret is nefarious...

IF ever I had a country - LXX

LXX

IF ever I had a country a constant prey to another marauding Bully
And if ever by some impardonable mistake I were the intrepid Defence Secretary
I'd not scratch my bald pate devising peaceful ways of turning the cheek with love brotherhood and humanity to appease the Enemy
I'd simply round up the true villains every secret agent every police chief politician all their colleagues - what d'ya think - the President y compris manu militari
Every media baron newspaper and tv editor-in-chief these that kept quiet about the activities of the secret services every Lodge Master of Free-Masonry
And have them lined-up on the frontiers as canon-fodder while force-marching them barefoot without ID papers into the jaws of the Bully's iniquity
That is, if ever I were even by error the intrepid Defence Secretary with no notion of poetry
And even if I never ever had no country prey to a Bully in reality

Our president is a paper tiger and a pussycat. He does not know what to do sometimes and that's that! He really has LIMITED power and Congress sees to that! But our Congress is so divided, things are moving so slow.

So here is a man who's BARK is not like his BITE.

He has limited power. So relax...

Everything is going to be ALL-RIGHT!

Nice poem!

Be glad you are in France and never had to do nothing about a bully in the bully pulpit of this country. Unfortunately I do…
