At a Postcard Show

Went to a postcard show today Capitalism in action! Picked up some nice cards One dealer - whose parents were Holocaust survivors Gave me a break on the price Another collector at the show was an old Army buddy of my father Used to work for him at shows He sold his collection for six figures!! Used to work in the Wall Street area for a rich French stamp dealer He sold a stamp for seven figures!!! The battle between socialism and capitalism still rages in this world One does not have to read Ayn Rand Nor does one have to read Tolkien But they are two famed authors which are worth dipping into if you get the chance Years ago I read Studs Lonigan James Farrell - another one worth reading Poetry is the order of the day for those who love verse No one is shooting at us for writing verse in this land Enjoy the holiday season you out there in the darkness!!
