Did you see his artwork I linked to last week?
No I didn’t -
I’m going to be interested to see how Romney deals with Candy Cow-ley-I hope it is harshly. People on both sides appear to be concerned that she is going rogue. Why can she not be replaced, even at this late date?
I’d like to see Romney call
Obama on more of his lies
And see Obama channel Gore
And react with lots of sighs
Maybe his handlers will suggest
That he not avoid being rude-
That it is exigent he do so
To avoid his being screwed
I hope he is emboldened by
An audience he sees as fools-
In that case, he’ll try saving face
By ignoring most of the rules
A+++
I am a sucker for poems.
Thank you!
Interesting - thanks. He wrote a blog while playing at Tech and one of his last pieces was a farewell to all the Big 12 teams. It was really nice - thanking each for something special. It was really a nice tribute.
Everyone still sleeping over in the us of a?? We are about to embark for the train station. We saw the Medici chapels. Dante’s house and le Academmie where Michelangelo’s David resides. He Is a fine hunk o MAN ! Our legs feet and backs are screaming from all of the walking/standing we have done. Hour wait outside the museum to see David !
