Sometime you want to just take a person
and look them straight in the eye
and say “c’mon now,
that’s no way to be.”
Then talk to them about how
to respect other’s dignity.
To say c’mon now, to their cause
born of fear and hate.
C’mon now, stop and pause.
Think about it before it’s too late.
C’mon now, what if it were you
on the receiving end
of what you want to do?
C’mon now, the one you call “they”
underneath your labels  to separate
you know we are still the same anyway.
C’mon now, it’ll be okay.

I was attempting to be funny. Somehow I get the feeling you took me seriously.

Sorry, I guess it is hard for me to tell when you are being funny sometimes. I have no body language or facial expressions to read. And you have a reputation for saying what ever flies off the top of your head, good bad or otherwise...BTW, the poem didn't have you in mind at all ~L

I used to say that to 'The Major', my German Shepherd.

On second thought,
              
                 ...that's what HE used to say to ME!


                         (sadly tinkles a few notes of 'Old Shep'}


96 tears...er, 88's friends...sniffle

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

"Bayou" Miss Lori?

That's what ma used to say to me as I trollied off to school.

She never could remember my name, so she'd just yell out the old screen door, 'Bye you"!

How'd you know?

                               ...Maybe you had a screen door of your own.


Gotta stop pinchin' snuff, or whatever that stuff is.
