Hi, tulpitree:
Whose idea was it to suddenly create
Without consultation or even debate
The lunacy of "World No Tobacco Day"?
I doubt the idea will get much play
Outside the U.N. and Metrosexuals, gay
"National Smoke-Out Day" hasn't been a winner, so they say
Since last I heard, smoking is legal
It doesn't take a Legal Eagle or Rhodes Scholar
To see it's all about the attached taxing dollars
Which is why smokers have been making purchases on the Net
Instead of filling state spending coffers
When one uses Static Analysis, this is what you get
Instead of Tax Profit projected
The idea is Dynamically becoming thoroughly rejected
Which is why most states are desperately in the red
A word to the Social(ist) Engineers and their proclivity
When you throw an exorbitant Monetary Punch
The People won't just stand right there and take it!
We know that you are collectively Out To Lunch
For years we've dodged that Sucker Punch
If you want our taxes, come up with a new way to Fake It!

Touched By A Stranger
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love. -Romans 12:10
|
Marsha Burgess was a complete stranger to us, so we were touched by the note she sent. She knew my husband Carl's mom who had recently died. She had often seen her when visiting her own mother at a local nursing home. So when Carl lost his mother, Marsha took the time to share her memories with us. She closed her note with these words: "Your mom always had a big smile on her face and was happy to see us. How wonderful to have such precious memories! We just loved your mom. We'll never forget her." Marsha is a Christian, and her words brought comfort in our grief. They reminded us of the joy of being part of Christ's body (Romans 12:5). Every believer has been given a specific gift or gifts by God to use in building up others-prophesying, ministering, teaching, exhorting, giving, leading, and showing mercy (vv.6-8). But all of us are to "be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love" (v.10) and to "rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep" (v.15). Sometimes we hesitate to reach out to someone we don't know. We wonder if it is appropriate or if it will mean anything to the person. But that note from Marsha reminds us how much it means to be touched by a stranger. -Anne Cetas
Like refreshing rain in summer Or the gentle breeze in spring, Just a little gift of kindness Joy to someone's heart can bring. -Hess
Opportunities to be kind are never hard to find.

Telescope image of the Eagle nebula (on Poetry Day):
Night
A solitary moment
Plucked from the night.
Draped in black,
Dotted in white elegance.
A fragile offering,
A voiceless emotion,
Releasing a feast
To those who partake
Of diamond desserts.
-- Judith A. Lindberg

Tobacco
A weed among the plants we find
That hurts the body and the mind,
Yet in the way of self-abuse,
We see it constantly in use.
Unpleasant to the smell and taste,
Yet men for it their money waste;
The reason why I scarce can tell
For none at first do like it well.
Some do it chew and some it smoke
Whilst others in their nose it poke....
-- William B. Shockley (1801-76)
Albert Arnold Gore, a.k.a. Mr. Tobacco

Pleasure
Every thing does seem to vie
Which should first attract thine Eye:
But since none deserves that grace,
In this Crystal view thy face.
-Andrew Marvell
Happy Poetry Day!
