Been There, Done All That

Those who live in the city hightail it out to the country to worship Nature with adoration for them, a breathtaking vacation… While those who dwell out in the sticks drive in to see the city slicks towering skyscrapers, endless shopping keeps them hopping and be-bopping… As for – yawn – me: Been there, done all that Time to curl up with my fluffy housecat Switch on the tube for the next moronic spat ‘tween MAGA-men and livid Democrats * ______________________________________ *'MAGA' stands for 'Make America Great Again,' which was Donald Trump's campaign slogan.

Even more glad that I do not look at or read the news.

Ha, ha! I see that you this in common with Donald J. Trump. He doesn't read the news either.

Well, it's perfectly obvious to me, gw, that he failed at that. IMHO, when was America not great? Ah, maybe between 1860 and 1865. Hmmm...he who believes a politician's slogan, needs enlightenment!

and for whom does the cat purr Gershon. It could be used by pollsters to pontificate.

A country mouse does not yearn To visit cities as they burn Nay, we much prefer the sticks All except the skeets and ticks

But the skeets are what make the country tick! Cheers, Gershon
