Whenever I hear ‘town hall meeting’
My old heart begins a-beating.
Lawmakers that meet with folk
To laugh and sing and maybe joke.
Lots of good cheer spread about;
Hot dogs served with sauerkraut!
Babies kissed and bunting hung;
All the church bells will be wrung.
I just love that DC crowd --
they’re citizens that make me proud!
I’m putting on my Sunday best
To cheer the speaker with great zest.
In this great land a town hall session
Stays on track and lacks oppression.
(Of course, this is a memory
From circa 1953.)
