I WON I WON

ONCE I HAD A SECRET LOVE

DEALING WITH THE DEVIL

WHO IS BOSS?

THE KIDS LAST FIGHT

Poetry Poem

WHAT INSPIRED ME

DON'T BLAME ME I WENT TO COLLEGE TO PLAY BASKETBALL

So I only got average grades
My ancestors came during the potato famine
Like allot of Irishman some were soldiers
English had to have someone solve the Indian problem
Like, were not they here first?
Some in the family were Policeman
Someone had to control the Irish drunks
My Father of course was one of the latter
Jobs were hard to find the Chinese were building railroads
But I am giving you the first immigrants were hard workers
Today we have a new breed of immigrants.
Don't get me wrong I like Mexican food and Chinese food
And here in America we do need hard working industrious immigrants
But I read today that one out of a hundred men are in prison
Seventy percent of which are non taxpayers and do not speak our language
A few do but you can't understand a word they are saying
Nearly half the People in California don't work on farms
Are living on welfare, do not speak the language and are having babies
Those not in prison--I think it should be as with my ancestors
We do not need a buildup in population---"You're in the Army now!"
Someone has to solve the drug problems and new criminal immigrants
