What a splendid harvest!

And I will mention that folks here love her poem.

Leadfingers-

The post you made reminded me of one that Utah Philips used to recite:

By Malcolm Ross & Ralph Albertson, 1920's

Tune: The Son of a Gambolier

The Rebel Against Morality

C                               G                C
Now I have led a good life, full of peace and quiet
                                 G
But I shall have an old age, steeped in rum and riot;
F                               C
Yes, I have been a good lad, gentile and artistic;
                         G                C
I shall be a grandad, coarse and anarchistic!


Once I paid me taxes and followed every rule,
Banker, boss, and bureaucrat found me a willing tool;
I voted Democratic and paid the church its due,
Now all them swine will have to find some other chump to screw!

Of interest, banks and credit, insurance, tax and rent,
Of doctors, lawyers, generals and clerics I repent;
With this* for corporations and scorn for those elected,
I shall be an old bum, loved but unrespected!


* With a finger gesture!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
