Letter To My Dear Friend—Mr. T—Also Known As The 47th Prez

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Mr T
Do not be alarmed
about your-ill-appointed
Attorney General and his 
for the post
 
Think of it as
one less cabinet member
to turn against you
(or vice versa)

With Gaetz gone,
it is finally time
for you to pardon
of all remaining charges
and monetary 
judgements

Sincerely,
 
Paul Oliverio


PS
Congratulations
on the RFK Jr. appointment
 
He will soon 
shock the world
with his public service...
following the example
of his guilt-induced
Uncle Teddy
who became
an unparalleled negotiator
for the public good

If You Were Me ... Without Revealing A Family Surname

_______________________________________________________________________________________________


What if your Grandfather
made $200 million
during Prohibition
BUT
—unlike Al Capone—
he wasn't a gangster

He was a visionary
who knew that
one of his sons
would become
President of the United States

It might have been two sons
but I was 
fourteen years old
when my Father was
assassinated,
five years after
Presidential Uncle John 
was assassinated
 
That assassination
on November 22, 1963
has become
the greatest mystery
in the history
of murder
in the United States
***
 
A third son
of my visionary Grandfather
might have become President
had it not been 
for something 
that inspired
this magazine cover
 

 I was 15 years old
when Chappaquiddick
became
a family curse
and 
druggy + delinquent
behavior
defined my life

BUT NOW
the man Oliverio
refers to as
"Mr. T"
who is the 47th President
of the United States
has named me
to be
a cabinet member
in his Administration
and
—shockingly—
I have been endorsed
by none less than
President Trump's
Anti-Christ,
Bill Maher
 
All I will do
to end this page is
APOLOGIZE
FOR AN ABSENCE
OF HYPERLINKS

with one exception
being

ROBIN GREEN ... I Love You ... I Respect You ... Page 5

________________________________________________________________________________________________

***


From reading this book

I learned enough

about your Mother

to be convinced that

—when you were a young adult—

 she uttered

the fabled quote

about "respect" from 

Franny And Zooey 

BUT

she did so

only because she knew

you were too stoned

at that moment

to remember it

ever happened

 

HOWEVER

something more monumental

than Mother-speak

is happening here:

 

👏👏👏👏👏The fifth and final page👏👏👏👏👏

of my tribute to Robin Green 

is here

BUT

it is to be equally shared with

your husband,

Mitchell Burgess

for fourteen seasons

of the show 

the two of you created:

BLUE BLOODS

 

I sincerely hope

your global celebration

of this creation 

is celebrated exclusively with

Kings and Queens

rather than

rogues and rascals

 

I hope all in attendance

at these celebrations

resoundingly echo this 

final season quote

from Season 14/Episode 4

:::::::::::::::::

WHAT WOULD YOU 

RATHER HAVE,

AN IMPERFECT COP

OR A PERFECT CRIMINAL?

 Sincerely,

Paul Edward Oliverio

When Knowledge Is In Doubt ... There Is A Way Out

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

When you are on 

the short end

of knowledge

and authority,

there is a way out

so that

you fit in:

To avoid frustration,

discreetly rely upon

your imagination

Randomia Poem By HOODA HELAMI

_______________________________________________________________________________________________


In Randomia
thoughts have brothers
some are thin
some fatter than others

In Randomia
thoughts have sisters
some are peaceful
some are twisters
 
In Randomia
thoughts begin with mothers
so say
the brothers
or 
thoughts begin with fathers
so say
the sisters:
"We code them Misters"
 
All other thoughts
display
what brothers/sisters
say
from the heart
or
to sound smart
 
As if they've been
to college:
thoughts verbalized
with knowledge
 
Words
sideswiped with humor
or 
nasty rumor
or
sadly about
somebody's tumor

The Importance Of Being DONALD ... In His Own Words

________________________________________________________________________________________________


I was the 45th President
and am presently
the 47th President
 
NONE 
of my predecessors
would ever be mistaken
for an altar boy
 
NONE 
of my predecessors
had any fewer
tricks up their sleeve
than I have
 
Sooner or later,
one of us
had to be caught
with his hands in 
too many cookie jars
 
One of us
had to become
a convicted felon
while the rest of us
were nothing but lucky
 
Let it be me
a/k/a
"Mr. Unlucky"
***
 
American politicians
 without felonious behavior
in their past or present
are guaranteed 
to be failures
as
public servants
because they will not know
which laws to avoid

Coddle the criminal
