Toni Hanner (tonipoet): Nixon Dada

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

Nixon, Nixon I've been thinking, how are you and how you been. Is it true what they say, and are you still a sobbin?

Thank you Toni

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Thom, listen to InSeine...

Here in the Greek Democracy:

"A law was made a distant moon ago here,

July and August cannot be too HOT

And there's a legal limit to the snow here…

The winter is forbidden till December

And exits March the second on the dot!

….also,  summer lingers through September (and now October)

The rain may never fall till after sundown,

by eight a,m,, the morning fog must disappear,

and by nine p.m. the moonlight must appear

In short, there's simply not a more congenial spot

For happily ever after as a refugee than HERE …. :-)

Cleaning up after the zebra is turning out to be a lot of work.  I also just noticed that it is a male zebra which now explains the "p" on the toilet seat.  And yes, if you all were wondering, that is a 19th century Longview Telescope.

Thom, you would be a fool not to take up the Greece offer!

"Dubya" will forever be likened to "Dumb".

[Toni Hanner -- tonipoet]

Ha! Thanks for the many silly comments! The zebra is indeed real. He got very annoyed when I cut him in half, though. The Dada stamp is by Jay Block! Nixon was a TERRIBLE president but maybe not the worst ever, which title belongs to "W" Bush, at least for the time being. Let us hope and pray he retains that crown of shame!

[Thom Courcelle]

Wait...the zebra is real? No wonder Toni labeled that piece "toxic." Who's cleaning up after that wild animal???

Wait...I can move to Greece??? That sounds niiiiiizze. But is it hot there? If it's too hot, it's a deal breaker... Unless the Greek constitution allows people to run around like Mr. April in Toni's mail art piece above... Then I'm okay. I'll start packing... Oh! never mind... I won't have to pack very much then, will I?

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

Ya know, back in the 1960's we called the man "Tricky Dicky"...

Now about November 8th: oh, you poor dear!

We'll take "American refugees" anytime, Thom ! Ya don't have to ex-pat to be a Greek citizen,

there is a treaty for dual citizenship (pay taxes in both countries and VOTE in both countries)

Me gonna send in absentee ballot by October 15.

Several years ago of natural causes...or of infamy. The autopsy was uncertain. (According to a recent New Yorker magazine article, he apparently brought us closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than anyone had realized.) Still, it is indeed a tough country...or "rough [country] around the edges" (or the interior) more and more. Have any room for a few more immigrants over there? I know that's a sensitive subject, but several of us may want to expat ourselves if our elections go a certain way!

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

OH Dear Thom, really?  I heard that he was the only U.S. president to resign, but I didn't know that they killed him as well.  It's a tough country that der America.

Alas, no, the tenner is a photocopy, but the zebra is real.  And that's worth a bit.

[Thom Courcelle]

Dead, don't'cha know... dead.

Is that a real tenner chopped up in circles in that there collage? You might be in possession of a rather expensive piece of mail art! Several nice elements put together here. Love the Dada stamp.
