Hey it’s me again! I looked for you last night As I sat and sipped a cold one Thinking about what I had said How you might have been listening or might not have deemed It worthy of your time Since we had agreed I’d not write about you Nor criticize your speechwriters, At least in public, And my diatribe could be Construed as being critical In some ways. So I thought I’d follow up. You know I can’t leave things alone Once they start working their way Down the narrow corridors of my thoughts And I am left to ponder Repeating past paths meander Hitting first on the historical But turning to the political reason Of why indeed you have survived In memory if not tradition For all these thousands of years. I admit, Though I can find no logical science To explain how it could be so That you might indeed be there. I also protest, If you are there The misery that you condone And would suggest That if we are your children Then act like a responsible father or mother would And when we are in the sandbox kicking and screaming At each other ready to throw punches or stones Take us aside And while not solving our problems for us Do make sure we are allowed the chance To learn and grow without endangering innocents. See… You knew I couldn’t keep my mouth shut didn’t you? That’s probably why I was the only one Sitting on a round stool last night as I sipped my beer That kept looking at the door Wondering if you would come in So I could debate with you the why and how. Not meaning to be disrespectful, nor to say I know One atom’s worth of what you are supposed to, But sure did want to hear you explain it in your own words Not those tricked and tweaked over history For reasons mentioned above. I plan on stopping off at Johnny’s again tonight So if you want to start the weekend off right and have a little chat about all the hows and whys of me being wrong Drop by I’m buying… I’ll be in the green shirt Sitting in the back |

Sort of like him, Martie? I would hazard a guess, he's speaking from the gut... You've made Serenity dizzy... you've made Me, smile! You also made me think of the word metaphysical, one of my special words, and when people make me think that...they've touched a very special thought... |

"Take us aside And while not solving our problems for us Do make sure we are allowed the chance To learn and grow without endangering innocents." Wow!!! Oh my gosh, this is sooooo wonderfully said, sweet friend, you bring the bar alive with conversation and streaming thoughts just as I'm sure the hows and whys are already just drifting there in the stale air in this wonderful vision! (sigh) This is marvelous, sweet friend, I LOVE IT, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

"You know I can’t leave things alone Once they start working their way Down the narrow corridors of my thoughts" I'm glad you can't leave things alone. |
