It was a hard struggle but we accepted them and became a melting pot but the Stalzle of Liberty still beckons All. A Basic fact is that there will always be poor and starving no matter How affluent society May become. These refugees did not come in to grab All the lucrative jobs. They came first and Foremost for Freedom.

So you went and became an airline stewardess or a cop maybe a fashion Model so Skinny you Clack like a floating crap game when you walk Down the Street maybe one of those systems analysts who Are always saying Miniatt Rize the digital circuitry to on ten thou Sandlos of a  maybe a surgeon hauling out two dozen Gall bladders a Day. All Day Long saying nothing but forceps and sterilize that hem stat immediately or the South ventricle will become resected it in t All it s cracked up to be is it and do you know Why because by Golly you be  touch with nature.

A Nightstick and a .38 Caliper revolver. A cup of Yogurt in the refrigerator. A few scalpels. A Little digital Megahertz oscillator cup. It s a Long Way from  june starts to Roll around like right now it probably makes you feel like kicking yourself for Ever thinking you d like to be in the big time instead of keeping your feet in the soil. Taking out All those Gall bladders May nuke the nurses think you re As Slick As the cat s whiskers but in your heart you know you d rather be walking through Fields of buttercups Don t you Why by George you could have been a Farmer. Could be getting up these Sweet mornings to Slop the hogs and Check out the cows for Hoof and Mouth disease.
