Pre-Game for a Few of "The 47"

Kids acting tough, I thought

when they sat down at the next table,

ordered their beers and lit up their smokes.


Then I noticed their shirts.


Pittsburgh boys on leave,

vowing to "represent" Pirate fandom

in Afghanistan.


All honor to these brothers of the 47%

who will pay no income tax this year,

and who deserve much more

than that to which they are entitled.
