Listen to the teacher

We learn lessons every day, Often, these lessons do not stay In our thoughts long, Temptation strikes like a gong, And lures us away From the lessons taught every day.

Ha, ha! I like your analogy to a gong, Shirley. Seems that we live in a 24/7 version of the old 'Gong Show,' with good old Chuck Barris, who will be 'right back with more stuff.' ~ The Unknown Comic
