13,246. BY THE TIME I GET TO SEE THE KNICKS, SHE'LL BE FADING

BY THE TIME I GET TO SEE THE KNICKS, SHE'LL BE FADING
I have found that scoundrels run in packs:
Lillian Hellman and her mayonnaise. 
Jimmy Carter and his little liver pills.
Bill Clinton and his dangerous pricks.
There's nothing more or less, about this,
that isn't declamatory, just obtrusive?
Offensive? Off the beaten path?
-
Lending your ears, countrymen, only
ends up making you deaf. Like
sleepless in Seattle, sightless in
Gaza....you know the rest.
