When I Remember Reagan

Today, Sunday February 6th, is - or would be - Former President Ronald Wilson Reagan's 100th birthday.
To recognize this (I shy away from "celebrate") here is a painting and a poem - both with the same title.

When I Remember Reagan

When I remember Reagan it’s not with
hushed voice and sober gratitude, though
to be clear, I harbor no animosity towards
his memory; let him sleep in peace if he can.
When I remember Reagan I think of the
evil Soviet empire always lurking around the
corner, ready to launch a surprise nuclear attack.
When I remember Reagan, I remember
(and say this hissing through your teeth)
the Russians!
