Pity's Reward

Pity's Reward Mine is a deep, dark hell-hole of pity's reward Where I am kicked a thousand times in the gut Each time followed by the near recovery of spirit before the heart's stomach is again punched brutally in It is an anniversary of my last marital failure And lest I forget rejection and its...

Change

Change First the one Then the other took up the theme: Things will sure be different. You betcha! Yet in that first test of How And If, Neither leads But falls in behind the much-maligned Without a word or thought Or yet a single wind of change Copyright © 2008 by C. P.

With more to come... Meanwhile, the US Treasury is gearing up for the auctioning off of massive amounts of Treasury... Sign in to see full entry.

A Letter to my Congressman

Dear Congressman Palone, I forgot to say why voting for the $700 Billion bailout would be disastrous.
