it's

I won't get started on the guv'mint' and biz'nis' as it would bee too long to read. Great little poem that says allot. My favorite lines: an’ they got me all atremblin’ an’ ashakin’ in me boots Always, Cat

Let's take back *our government of the people for the people and by the people* from the pick pockets! Damned if I know how to though, and that's the whole truth, an' nuthin' but the troof. ~ "There is a kind of mysticism to writing." ~ Irvine Welsh

Chuck, before I opened this, I was prepared to suggest that you could use a little help in pulling together more substantial titles for your work. In general, I still think that's true, but on this'n here I'm gonna play a pard'n and slap you a clap on the back for biting off less than you kin chew. Perfect title, nice flow into your timely subject, and very well done on a style unusual for you but somehow strangely befitting your take on politics and such. You're not planning to go rogue Republican, are you?

I want to say, gub'mint and bid'ness. Maybe it's just my accent. Lisa

A fond look back to the good old days when they picked our pockets instead of strong arm robbery.Only solution I see is to keep changing "government" until they get the message that they are NOT entitled to their positions.Must go now and dry condensed steam from ears.........scribbler

Leave them all out to dry, we have been going along like this for decades. Vote one in, they make changes, and the next one in reverses them. They preserve the status quo, allowing the well to do to have good times no matter how bad we are hurting.Giving to us just enough to keep us quiet, and some of us a glimpse of what we could get. If we shut up and play ball. Great piece it's got my blood racing. Regards Roscoe..

crisp is the word
