NOW THAT MACKY'S BACK IN TOWN

by George Salamon



"Paul Ryan wins near-party-line showdown on Health Care.”


Mack the Knife
Has found new life
As cuttin' Paul Ryan.
Obamacare must burn in hell
So insurance companies do well.
The people? Who cares if they survive
As long as the wealthy continue to thrive.
Democracy has been sold for its market price
As the necessary national sacrifice.


George Salamon is in reasonably good health for a curmudgeonly senior citizen.
