Meet the challenge

In a time of endless troubles
When the nation is sunk in despair
Who will lend a steady hand
To the stalled ship of state?
Barack Obama has the confidence to try
Who will stand by his side?
Will it be you or I?
Some will respond, some not
When the troubles are history
When the economy is restored
When we enjoy freedom and democracy unfettered
Will you be able to proclaim?
I stood by Barack’s side
I met the challenge
I am proud of the part I played
I was a defender of the nation.

The return of Harry Canary

Domestic canary (Serinus canaria forma domestica)

Harry the canary has returned!
We feared he was a goner
We were wrong, thank goodness.
Harry is back in his cage|
Where he is safe from Little Foo
A mighty hunter cat is she
Who has rid our yard of
Mice, snakes and lizards
Harry is safe from Gary
Who hunts not, sleeps the day away
Oh, to be a cat!
Harry must be wary of Foo
We trust he will regrow
The feather he lost, we found
In Gary’s bed atop a cat tree
Where nary a cat has grown
Yet.

Foo and Gary

Foo and Gary

We had a canary
Whose name was Harry
Harry disappeared one day
A single yellow feather
Remained of Harry
No other trace
Could be found
We found the feather
In the bed of Gary
Our Maine Coon cat
Did Gary eat Harry?
Impossible! You see
Gary is a vegetarian.

Bain pain

The pain from Bain

Stayed not in the plain

The pain from Bain

Enriched the few

Impoverished  the many

That’s what Bain did

It enriched Mitt and friends

The gain from Bain

Stayed mainly in the hands

Of Mitt and his friends

The pain from Bain

Confined not to Maine

Stretching from Atlantic to Pacific

That mighty pain from Bain.

The pain that precedes death

Death of an individual, company, city, region or industry.
