While mucking out a horse stall today,
I couldn’t help but think about you.

And I laughed out loud,
remembering how many times each day
you used the word

"class"

as if it were something you possessed,
something which I obviously lacked.

You were born rich, with a silver spoon
(I always said it was stuck somewhere in your body)
while I was born to a mother
who won prizes on the 50’s era TV show
“Queen For A Day”
because we were so poor.

You were probably right.

For how much class does it take
to muck out the stall
of a Lipizzaner mare and her new foal?

Well, Kacy -- I think it takes a lot of class to live the kind of life you choose -- you tell him to just give that silver spoon an extra shove for me, okay!

ROTFLMAO! Iliana, you are so right! That's just about what I said.

I guess that about covers it

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
