Imperialistic misconceptions
flow from stilted mind
driven to every limit
to the brink of despair
no escape
higher expectations
but goals
seem absent
in the crazed rat race
of success
and its untimely conclusion
lies in your own piece
of marble real estate
with personalized momento
to the world most successful rat
you

Ahem...... I'll take this as a complement....and be the first response.... Then come back and edit in my actual comments....have to grab first place!

Who else but the Ratleader, eh?

I like this, a lot of truth and a lot of wisdom (not always the same commodity) in one tight package..

I like this, Brad... like the thoughts it took me to... I'll still get that marbled memorial even if my race is walked... just have to make sure the journey is worthwhile. *S*

And ROFLMAO at our Ratleader claiming first response... that gave my giggles an escape! LOL

a very strong message Brad, very compact. I like it...although the title held me back a bit (I dislike rats, mice and other creepy crawling things.)
