A poem with a moral message-I like it! "Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance." |

My friend when you used the word stupidity, I think you hit us all a bit where we live. Good job, poet! ~L |

quote:Though this message is perennial and indeed should be heeded by one and all, it well describes the behavior of Ebeneezer Scrooge, especially at this time of year. Superb! 88's JerryPat!  She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Wasn't calling any names, Lori, but if I did my name would be at the top of that list. Thank you. ~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~ |

I really wasn't thinking of Ebeneezer, Ticklefingers, but that would work, like you said, at this time of the year. ~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~ |

Much to find in this one, don't be a cynic, stand up for what you believe, but keep your mind and heart open, thanks for the reminder. Enjoyed Pete. |
