Perhaps you did not hear, so let me say again: NO!You now have no excuse for saying that you did not know.You understand what “No” means, don’t you? May I now surmise?Okay, the sarcasm’s not needed…I apologize.I sure would like to know—I really would—who told you this.The reason being, this
Think back along your younger years, on what you did;Perhaps as far back as when you were just a kid.Most likely you lived through those years with one concern’Yourself! Intent only on what you had to learn.And everything outside that field was hardly touched at all;Some grudgingly, so few things
This day is set aside for those who died in war;To pay them homage and respect for sacrifice and more.This day should be one where we try to reach and touchBecause, not having been in war, you really don’t know much.For instance, take the veteran who has a Purple Heart;What
No matter how you look at it, we have been through a lot;To see something like this occurring, no one would have thought.In fact, it hit us in the face much like a thrown pie;And we were not prepared for it, that no one can deny.At first, consensus thought that
I think it sensible, and long past due, to seeThat female warriors, the Amazons, can beDefinitively acknowledged to be real, not myth,Where actual remains show what we’re dealing with.I guess it rests on how you view the female clan;In many ways they are the equal to a man.Accepting the vast
When you-know-what has hit the fan,You have two choices—picking one;You get to work, do what you can;Or choose to panic, start to run. Some people pause, think what to do;But not to help, solution spinned;But they will sound good—(nothing new)—Essentially a bag of wind. But then, when things go bad
So I am not a happy camper here and now;And there are succinct reasons for it, I avow.You know we are three hundred million strong;We do have accolades galore which do belongWhere we, in any need, in any crisis, standAs one–ready, willing, meeting the demand.But there is always that percentage
I guess you can say I’m a weirdo of sorts;Refusing to think the way everyone courts.I’m speaking of how you define certain things—Like beauty, for instance, responses it brings.If it’s good to look at—I mean really good,Most label that beauty, think all of us should.But beauty, to me, is much
I’d like to thank all those whose first thought is to give;The ones who auction their own lives so others live.There is but one descriptive term–humanities!It is not done to garner praises aimed to please.There is a crisis, there is need, that’s all she wrote.There is no greater accolade we
You were all set on doing something when your Mom said “No!”Then all the gripes and moans and pleading didn’t do a thing.You knew that you were right…besides, what did your Mother know?An even bet, this dialogue has a familiar ring.But what your Mother “knew”, most likely, was experience.And when
This human life has factions far beyond the norm;;Like where two people meet, a bonding starts to form.And, if that bonding’s meant to be, you’ll often findThat each one will, quite often, read the other’s mind.To one, the other’s comment came out of the blue;So how were thoughts transferred? That
The big bad wolf could learn from us—Without a lot of needless fuss;We seniors surely know enoughTo show him how to huff and puff! But, at the same time, Heaven knows,There’s something else we should propose—That what he’s after, after all,Won’t go well with cholesterol. That fairy tale may be
You know the average Leprechaun is small;The average just above your knee is all.In every other aspect though you’d seeThey are like us in their anatomy.There are some differences, like pointed ears,But nothing obvious, so it appears.Their craftiness and penchant to conniveHave been their lot in order to survive;They cannot
Back when we, as a nation, first beganAlready, as a people, quite dispersed.The Irish were disparaged to a man,Considered, on the social scale, the worst. When common labor beckoned, slaves were sought;But slave owners said No!, with sullen ring.“Our slaves are worth more than what you have got!But Irish—they will
To most of you, what’s said here won’t mean anything,To others, it will bring back haunting memories.There are those episodes in every life which stingEach time they are remembered, doomed to never cease.In looking back, each one will violate the norm;What you feel would be logical will not be there.And
However short or long your lifetime is right nowThere have been some events of which you’ve made a vowYou do not want, in any sense, to see again,,At any time, no matter what, or where, or when.The strange part is, each of them will but fade in time,And dim the
Our science says it knows when flowers first evolved;But there are many questions which must be resolved.“Evolved from what?” is the first question we must ask.You can’t evolve from nothing, (taking science to task).In Nature, everything is functional, bar none;So what were flowers for, at first, when said and done?And
It’s time we came to grips with how we came to be;We did not get to be a nation by decree–Our war for Independence did not do the act;We weren’t coerced, we were not forced, and that’s a fact.Our Constitution took a great amount of timeTo put together, many obstacles
When you were just a kid, with all that childhood stuff,Were you aware you were a diamond in the roughAnd, like a diamond, measured for potential worth,A lengthy process that began before your birth.But this does not relate to fame and fortune here;Your “average” life has been the diamond, accents
We need to make a service call, so then, of course, we call;But we get someone who cannot speak English much at all.We try to make “it” understand that we don’t understand;But seemingly there’s no attempt to bridge the language spanned.So what has happened to “good service,” and that needed
