To Daffodils


Recommended Posts

Fair Daffodils, we weep to see 
You haste away so soon; 
As yet the early-rising sun 
Has not attain'd his noon. 


Stay, stay, 
Until the hasting day 
Has run 
But to the even-song; 


And, having pray'd together, we 
Will go with you along. 

We have short time to stay, as you, 
We have as short a spring; 


As quick a growth to meet decay, 
As you, or anything. 
We die 
As your hours do, and dry 

 

Away, 

Like to the summer's rain; 
Or as the pearls of morning's dew, 
Ne'er to be found again.

If we wanted beauty, this wouldn't be a politics page.

 

That's a sad reflection on what some people think about community. 

 

To Daffodils has a different take. As does the Eeyore story that Tom recently commented on.

Political cartoons

I fixed for you. Here’s the Obama version:

 

I’m an American...but you can’t see my birth certificate 

 

I’m smart....but you can’t see my grades and nobody remembers ever seeing me in a class

 

You’ll love this Health Care Bill...but you can’t see your doctor ...and, wait for it...you can’t read the Bill till we pass the Bill

 

Done!

Just wait till Trump can truthfully say he is a one term president and he got FIRED by the American people. 

 

Trump telling the truth, lol

So who do you believe will preside over the country for what’ll apparently be the last 10 years of our planet’s existence? ?

I'm not sure that guy hates the big guy as much as your other poets but he was probably pissed about his big schnozzola.  

 

Anyway that crap is basically ashes to ashes but snooty and without hope.
