Parliament was called to order at 0530 and a rowdy bunch of parliamentarians came and got it after their wild night celebrating Cinco de Mayo.  They say every picture tells a story but alas YHC forgot to snap one.  Raised on promises, the gathered pax couldn’t help thinking that there was a little more to life, somewhere else, after all it was a great big world with lots of places to run to (but not here at Parliament where there is a strict “no running” policy.  So, a couple of innocent bystanders somehow got stuck between and rock and a hard place.  Feelin’ alright, not feeling that good myself we avoided the crosstown traffic.  But I got to ramble (ramblin’ man) gamble (gamblin’ man) and then go on, take the money and run.  The Cisco Kid, he was a friend of mine.  Sometimes, I can’t help the feeling that I’m living a life of illusion.  Would you let it ride?  Out all night, sleep all day, I know what you’re doing. If you’re gonna a-act that way, think there’s trouble brewing…
