Satire 2

Well, thank you, Mr. Dylan

Thank you, Mr. Dylan

The official Soviet newspaper said the temple members have protested the mindless arms waste and the filthy war in Vietnam, and were persecuted and finally forced to seek refuge in another country

Wow, sounds like a ballad to me

Oh man, Bangkok, Thailand, they've launched an air-sea search for a fishing boat carrying some four hundred Vietnamese refugees

The boat was towed back out to sea after arriving in Thailand Sources said because of a breakdown in communication

Oh Lord, the boat was towed into Thai waters by a German freighter, the Thai navy unaware that the refugees had been guaranteed resettlement in West Germany

They took the boat out to sea after providing all passengers with provisions

Hey, that's deep, man

The Chinese newspapers have made the first reference to the country's Curtain Wall poster campaign, quoting Vice Premier Deng Xaoping as saying the country's stable and its leaders are confident and have been planning modernization programs

Oh, this should get me in the Village Voice

Deng gave blessing to the campaign, but he commented not all the opinions of the masses are carefully thought out, nor can we demand that they all be correct

Adding, this is nothing terrible

It's bad enough, but it's not terrible

Former President Richard Nixon, on his second trip outside the United States since his resignation, was a smiling, handshaking politician again, greeting crowds outside his hotel, and trying a little French

He sure as hell didn't try it on Pat Nixon

Mr. Nixon is in Paris to sight-see and will be interviewed on French television before going on to deliver a speech in England

He'll participate in a French call-in program and said he will answer questions in Welsh

That's pretty big, Mr. N

Ahhh, I'm so cynical, I could just keep on doing this forever

Because, you know, they ain't gonna be lookin' for my golden bunions in a hundred years from now

They're gonna be sellin' my socks like Judy Garland

And I hope that they get a good price

I mean, what with inflation and the price of rice

But man, I shouldn't worry

I own all my songs and I wrote them myself too

I got 24 children, 14 wives, 3 mistresses, 59 accountants, 105 lawyers, 2 million fans, a postage system that never fails

To land me in jail and look through my mail

Perhaps have a garage sale

And you know, go save the whale

And a... you know, get a boat and go for a sail

And, and, oh, oh, oh, oh, how do you get out of this hell?

I'm stuck inside of a lexicon with the Roget's Thesaurus blues again

Sometimes I wish I was just George Harrison, you know

All the answers

Oh my God, oh my God
