Open Mic MONDAY 27TH JULY + Political Caption Competition
POLITICAL FACT OF THE DAY: Nelson Mandela served 27 years in prison before becoming South Africa’s president.
POLITICAL QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside ragin’.
It’ll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’.”
― Bob Dylan
POLITICAL HAIKU OF THE DAY:
Another siren.
Another leader declares
Peace after the bombs.
