Bully Boy

Practice what you preach Often comes to mind When the holier than thou Preach of goodness and kind Get off your soapbox Stop attempting to teach Look inward and be truthful Then practice what you preach

Great description, Deb, of the Soapbox Orators. They are right up there with Snake Oil Salesmen.

that is so true, judging others amounts to only pain, so often we ignore our own faults, and see them in others. thank you for this reminder Deb

Careful Ilene, or you'll get tossed in with the rest of us that some have labeled 'mean girls.' Ya know, sticks and stones and all that other childlike foolishness.
