“Your uphill climb will
never stop;
scum always rises to the top.” —Poet,
translator, and essayist A.M. Juster (pseudonym for Michael J. Astrue, former
head of the Social Security Administration), “To My Ambitious Colleague,” in Sleaze and Slander: New and Selected Comic Verse, 1995-2015 (2016)
“Bright postcards on a
rack
acknowledge what we lack. The most we can express
about our great vacation
takes a few lines or less, and needs some
illustration.”—Poet, translator, and essayist A.M. Juster (pseudonym for
Michael J. Astrue, former head of the Social Security Administration), “Gift
Shop Blues," in Sleaze and Slander: New and Selected Comic Verse,1995-2015 (2016)

“If you’re crazy like a
fox,
get tested for rabies.” —Poet, translator,
and essayist A.M. Juster (pseudonym for Michael J. Astrue, former head of the
Social Security Administration), “Proposed Cliches,” in Sleaze and Slander: New and Selected Comic Verse, 1995-2015 (2016)
Some current and
recent world leaders regarded themselves in this manner. For all who trust in
them: Beware. As this image demonstrates, they are eyeing their next meal, and
it may be you.
