Unpublished Poem

Was that Felix Rohatyn I saw at the Met last night?

When, years ago, he was asked to bail NYC out of its fiscal problems, I wrote this:


Oh, Felix Rohatyn
will save Manhattan
from garbage and ratten
and we'll all wear satin
and grow rich and fatten--
WASP, Greek and Latin--
Thanks to Felix Rohatyn.
