Mere Pussyfooting

We’ve heard about a place that’s cool,
We’d like to hitch a ride.
In playing hooky from our school,
We need a place to hide.

We’ll try not to disrupt you,
You’ll hardly know we’re there.
Go on with what you want to do,
And we’ll just move this chair.

The table looks delicious,
We smell the donuts now,
Try not to be suspicious,
That’s all we want somehow.

Some say the glass is half empty, some say the glass is half full,
I say, are you going to drink that?

No inspiration as of yet..

There's a take-off on that where the wife is constantly giving hubby the brush off, and finally at the end of the comic she's got mudpack on her face, her hair in curlers, and this hideous looking robe on and she's screaming "You don't find me attractive anymore!"

A Psalm of Life


Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us farther than today.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead.
Act, -- act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us then be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.


- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)
