82. CARMA CARMALITA AND PURE CHANCE

CARMA CARMELITA AND PURE CHANCE
1.
No one ever came forth admitting to the crime.
Bertolt Brecht said this in rhyme (couplets):
['Poets, painters, and musicians
seeking grub and good positions
-
Noble souls who now assure us
they were no friends of the Fuhrer's']
...
How purely cute and quaint I say -
it even works out for today.
2. Speaking for myself, I have this to say
(once more harking to today).
'Do not be fooled oh limerick lady
by the force of the newly captured coming in.
They are all the same, whether colored white or tan.
Standing on the White House steps,
they smile until demands are met :
you are nothing and have come with nothing
and will keep nothing less. All auguries point to
discontent; pray to God you pay the rent.'
3. There once was a little bluebird, who
landed on the roof. Never one to smile back,
the owner took another tack.
After two seasons at risk, the
bluebird was sanctioned no longer.
What else do you need? More proof?
