FOR DAVID RUCCIO

Although my satires may grow dated, At least with reference to the “who;” My themes will never be negated- For humankind’s themes, like the flu, Require a treatment by physicians Especially the politicians- For flus in politics infect The human race with disrespect For others of the wrong complexion, Or gender, sexual preference, class; And have been known to give them gas. When satire can’t cure an infection, At least it cheers you with a joke Before what’s left goes up in smoke.
