That Touch of Clash No, the title is not a typo error it’s just that I want to be up front or perhaps I should say just a bit fairer before I’m perhaps a bit too blunt. Ere I say too much and ramble on about masses of folks I don’t know, you mustn’t think my mind is gone in telling stories of what irritates me so. Now if you are here, reading this then perhaps you are a lot like me: we make a hit, we make a miss, and basically believe in good, you see. And I’d like to think I’ve a touch of class never snobby, a somewhat ordinary lass, and then there’re those that’re somewhat brash and that, I tell you, is a Touch of Clash. You’ve seen them, the ones that look down, who seem to have this perpetual frown as if the air is filled with a ragweed spray and always they feel they have the right to say what’s on their mind, right or wrong, oh yes! and you will never, ever hear them confess to nothing other than having the finest things, that material wealth to which they cling. While to you or me it seems quite silly they speak of how much it costs to send Billy to his “proper school”, so without edification we know that his is the better education. Well, then there’s me, just looking ‘round here watching all the sillies I would hold dear knowing that I’d not trade in my backyard grass while they hold forth with their Touch of Clash. Now, I won’t say those folks can’t have it all but I’d rather be plain folk and hear the Call; I’d rather stand far and alone than be in a mass, and if I be remembered, that it be as a Touch of Class. ©KRJ 1 September, 1999 ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Sunshine, So your growing grass in your back yard. You know that's illegal. Wonderful poem enjoyed the read. Amendment: Dear sunshine, I thought I was being cute. I guess I was being stupid. Please forgive me this time I'll try not to do it again. *L* Still LOL I wrote you an Email letter just disregard it [This message has been edited by Seymour Tabin (edited 09-02-99).] |
