No, my reverberating friend,
You are not the beginning and the end!

There'll be spring ev'ry year without you.
England still will be here without you.
There'll be fruit on the tree,
And a shore by the sea;
There'll be crumpets and tea
Without you.

Art and music will thrive without you.
Somehow Keats will survive without you.
And there still will be rain
On that plain down in Spain,
Even that will remain
Without you.
I can do
Without you.

You, dear friend, who talk so well,
You can go to Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire!

They can still rule the land without you.
Windsor Castle will stand without you.
And without much ado
We can all muddle through
Without you!

Without your pulling it, the tide comes in,
Without your twirling it, the earth can spin.
Without your pushing them, the clouds roll by.
If they can do without you, ducky, so can I!

I shall not feel alone without you.
I can stand on my own without you.
So go back in your shell,
I can do bloody well
Without you!

Love your poem!

I would like to take this opportunity to say that IMHO the Moderators are doing a grand job and are to be commended for the way they perform. They're not perfect ...... after all, like the rest of us, they are human. But given the level to which some threads descend these days, the Mods should be given hazardous duty pay rather than being castigated. My hat's off to them!

As for the Whiner of the Day ......

Love that song.

Sure fits a number of politicians and pontificators. . . . and sadly even the character in my mirror--though I hope only years ago.

I think Jim and his moderators are doing a bang-up VOLUNTEER JOB of great service to us and the nation. So what if they don't always fit my sensibilities or preferences. I'm sure I don't fit theirs.

On the whole, they do great and they have my wholehearted support.
