DR. NO

by George Held


Government is nothing
but simple for Dr. Rand Paul,
the new Laissez Fairey,
tousled hair and boyish grin

disarming voters
as he slides his KY-
slathered finger up
their receptive assholes.

Named for Ayn, he’s
the new Dr. No, saying No
to restrictions: he’s for No
financial oversight No

progressive taxation No
health care No
rules for polluters, gun
owners, businesses, etc.

When the TV gal asked,
“Are you a racist?” he never
said “No,” but oozed the sly
affability of anarchy.


George Held has collected many of his New Verse News poems in The News Today.
