OH WHAT A NIGHT!

OH WHAT A NIGHT,  late in fall of 2010.  Age of men not having  to be men, bears are  getting ready winter den.  But I want to get back to  remembering when,  different times, different night.    Way back in 1963, teacher said  "what do you want to be?"  "How about just being a  wanna-be?" Down road will  there be any glee for me?  Oh what a time to be alive.    It was Ides of March, 1964,  I marched off with childish  idea of war! Now would be  tested to see if I'm hard core!  Slept in fox holes and on the  jungle floor, when opportunity  arose had not so fresh whore!  Took a through and through  but still finished out my tour!  But after that did not ask for  any more!    DID I SLEEP LAST NIGHT?  Thinking did wars in Iraq or  Afghanistan reach any height?  DID I SLEEP LAST NIGHT?  World wakes up on edge of  fright, some with first of the day  Bud Lite!  DID I SLEEP LAST NIGHT?  Back to streets of South Bronx,  back to jungles of Viet Nam!  Looking out front window on to  Florida Street where crack dealers  set daily beat!  In the past or in the NOW!  It is WE who killed golden cow!  Who scares you more baby?  Chinese economists or Chairman Mao?  Find answer in The Bronx Tao!          Barry McChangky
