THE
RATIONALIZATIONS
OF DAVID THE DAD
The last cassette of the father
Chapter 2
The Words of the Dad of Harry, uttered in the home to which he was committed in the depths of his senility:
2There was, I remember, a dream called America,
3Where some ancient men wearing funny hats believed in an idea called liberty,
4And tried to turn that idea into reality,
5Which seemed to be working,
6The way I remember it,
7For quite a while,
8Until somebody discovered that it really wasn’t,
9For some reason,
10And that everything ever done in America was wrong,
11For some reason,
12bAnd the dream started to go away.
