Reading Things In History today I read a conversation in history and who they spoke of was no mystery it was about a princess they called spoiled when I read it I recoiled tears welled up as I read I should have stopped, but I went ahead now I write this with no angry ink but I am pushed to my brink some of what was said, didn’t have the facts straight just went along in create I copied it and sent it to a friend for safe keeping in case I needed it later for repeating this is the true glory there are two moral’s to this story……. Be careful what you write and what you have said For you just don’t know by whom it may be read and Don’t clean up someone else’s house When your house is a mess "...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare [This message has been edited by 1slick_lady (edited 05-26-2001).] |

Nice write, but I keep believing in the good nature of the human race and sometimes it becomes easier to clean up your own mess after you've cleaned up someone else's house. Titia |

That's good advice in the ending and it carries the rest of the poem to a good conclusion!! Good work! |
