Lenny

"How the fuck are you?"

up by the coat collar
and off to jail...

"Well, goodnight, folks."

In the vicinity of obscenity
be careful what you say.

Choose your words,
use your words wisely, because
you can't say "fuck the government,"
if you can't say "fuck."

But these were different times,
after we had lost our innocence,
but before the Crook stole
our naive faith in the fundamental
goodness of our Nation.

The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed
from time to time
with the Blood of Patriots and Tyrants.
And the First Amendment demands
its fair share of martyrs.
