In the begining, they came. Marching on for miles, The pessamistiphiles, like a gaggle of grinning crocodiles. The members of the board are now just a fraud, a hoarde of 'no' men, as reliable as a bunch of snowmen. You will need to ask them all to go and certainly not show them what you know they came to see. Because it's yours, your family heirloom, that you'll carry from the womb, right up until the tomb. Whenever that might be. Beware them my son, Beware the smiles of crocodiles. |

Dear Simon, it's the first time I hear of the "smiles" of crocodiles (except in cartoons of course, where they are sweet creatures!), I hear often about "the tears" of crocodiles instead. So it's good to follow the advice, so that we won't need to shed tears after the damage is done ... Interesting offering! Love, Margherita |

Hi, Simon! ~ "pessamistiphiles" ~ What a great word you have coined! I'll have to remember that one.  Cleverly cute poem! With love from an optimistiphile, Linda |
