Banks To Taxpayers: Drop Dead!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Where’s your money? You’ve no right to know.
Banks account for your dough? Ho! Ho! Ho!
We are rich and white collar —
Won’t help if you holler.
Go pester a unionized co!


Ode To Ari Fleischer

Ode To Ari Fleischer
By Madeleine Begun Kane

But sorry, we still are not buying.
That nine-one-one hit

And to say so is shameful. Stop lying!
