Greetings Hairballers,

Please to excuse my fractured French bur here we go.

EUROPEAN SOCIALISM AND OTHER THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT©

         FMHorner

Ah, the petty bourgeoise, American style

lemmings of the sound bite or

headline they saw in the checkout line

none of that foreign stuff for them

except when it comes from Wal-Mart

and made in communist China

are they still hiding under a desk?

frightened of the Soviet Union

which disbanded in 1991 (the last year they read a newspaper)

their leaders, the nouveau riche,

threaten price hikes

if they must provide health care

or a proper wage

to employees

struggling just to pay the rent

let us not forget that

their 22-car garage

may soon need a pressure wash

or the house that’s larger

than Windsor Castle

may need new central air on the third floor

the entire violin section of

the New York Philharmonic

couldn’t drip enough sympathy

none of that European socialism

here, unless its

importing hockey players

French champagne

Italian shoes

or fast cars

and yes, they probably know the owners

of the vineyards, shoe shops

and automakers

caching, caching

do I hear the sound of greed

or stupidity?

Hairballs indeed,
