Cheney, Speaking From Experience
Calvin Trillin


When shells fall close and smoke is thick,
Real tough guys never run. They stick.
Or so says Five Deferments Dick.

No wavering--no he's a brick.
To cut and run would make him sick.
Or so says Five Deferments Dick.

Appeasers cannot take a lick,
But tough guys bite and gouge and kick.
Or so says Five Deferments Dick.

1.  I love Trillin. His ode to W entitled " Obliviously On He Sailed"
is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

3. I love Calvin Trillin. I have all of his books.
His food books, particularly, are fabulous; Third Helpings is my favorite, and Travels With Alice is marvelous.
