Art Andersen, My Jo
(Fragments recovered from Robert Burns’s
‘John Anderson, My Jo’)
by Leon Freilich
Art Andersen, my jo, Art,
When we were first allied,
Our fortunes then were golden,
Our value at high tide;
But now the going’s rough, Art,
The Feds have launched their show;
They’re painting us as no-account crooks,
Art Andersen, my jo.
Art Andersen, my jo, Art,
We shared and shredded as one
And proved on many a day, Art,
That audits can be fun.
But Justice now is balking, Art,
At our smoke-and-mirrors show;
They’re scuttling the new economy!
Art Andersen, my jo.
