They’re saying that Bloomberg is lacking
In stature, his shortness attacking.
…But better short man
…Than shortness of plan
For that, we should all send him packing.

You say you don’t like any candidate? –
Bemoan the nation and bewail its fate?
Then look no further than our blackened soul,
For snow’s not found in all the caves of coal.

‘Neath a stone
A president lies –
LBJ.

The photo is mine, taken at the LBJ Ranch near Johnson City, Texas.
LBJ’s tombstone is the large one center right; Lady Bird’s large one center left.
