The Party Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

The Party



“Now is the time! ” it is said,
“for good men of the party, abed,
to rush to the aid
of the underpaid,
and let them all paint the town red.”

Yet now is the time, if well read,
and wishing to stay well ahead,
to ensure that you’re paid
as if you had it made,
while keeping well out of the red!
