  1. So, years ago, there was a #RagingGrannies chapter in #PortandMaine. I would often see them performing by themselves, or at #PeaceActionMaine / #MaineVeteransForPeace events. Not sure if that's my cuppa tea (I'm more of a grumpy gram/py), but I appreciated their fighting spirit!

    Healthcare- yet again

    by Nancy Galland, #MaineRagingGrannies, 2013
    tune: A Bicycle Built for Two

    "Healthcare, healthcare,
    What am I gonna do?
    I’m half crazy
    Trying to pay for you. I can’t afford my Blue Cross,
    And Single Payer cuts costs,
    So let’s defeat
    With feet on the street
    Profiteering from healthcare blues.

    "Congress, Congress
    Give us your answer true,
    Are you crazy?
    What are you gonna do?
    If we can’t afford to pay bills,
    And wait until we’re too ill.
    We’ll lose our work
    Without help or perks—
    There’s better care in the zoo!"
