Speech

Topic: anguished

Grammars a hammer; we ignore the spammer;
For those who speak well always score.
Their words are commanding, persuasive, demanding;
We follow; we trust; we adore.

Short, sweet and to the point
You spoke volumes in just a few words.
Great piece

take a look at these
hands
you don/'/t have to mention it
they sew these things in
So tired, so thin and frail
just take a look at my hands
I/'/ve worked hard all my life
all the time expecting not
too much

just another person
waiting in line
I cared for the old
folk, woke up
worrying about their
welfare
I wanted to know about
them,
those freckled faces,
or were they old age
spots

I don/'/t know
but I missed them
when they died
the way that people
do

Peace!

hey I/'/m thinking of Glen Yarbrough
Just now,
baby the rain must fall, he sang with his
deep dark smooth voice,
baby the rain must fall
baby the wind must flow
where ever my heart leads
me, baby I must go...

He also sang, House of the Rising Sun.
The same song the Animals later sang.
It was written in 1937, or maybe 1928,
nobody knows for sure...

In 1941 Woody Guthrie recorded a version.
Grammar is a hammer for the grammarian
The Elements of Style, by William I. Strunk, Jr.
and E.B. White

A friend of a friend of mine gave me this book
once, knowing I needed help expressing my
words, the best way to exhibit what I might
just think, sounds like an old folk song
if you sing it just right,
way down in the mine.

Peace!
