2. .

for America, and for Harry, a friend for life, if only for a half-hour.

Step right up young lady -- Your two hundred birthdays make you old if not senile
And we see the symptoms there in your rigor mortis smile
With your old folks eating dog food and your children eating paint
While the pirates own the flag and sell us sermons on restraint

Harry, you always could nail it! You were a voice for our times, warning the frogs about the water temperature. Silenced much too soon.

[Feeling the Bern]

5. And the next verse is even more of a "nailed it."

And while blood's the only language
That your deaf old ears can hear
And still you will not answer with that message coming clear
Does it mean there's no more ripples in your tired old glory stream
And the buzzards own the carcass of your dream?

[Dr Hobbitstein]

3. This isn't Taxi.
