Curses

CURSES The curse of great beauty can get you so down, It's the price one must pay though, Born with such renown; And then there's intelligence, when second to none, There's no one to talk to, In a class of just one. When your manner and dress show such style and good taste, You surpass all the others, As the town fashion plarte, And your talent for speech and social aplomb, Your style and your grace, Leaves all others struck dumb, Folks tend to avoid you when you've been so blessed, They can't understand you, They just can't digest, The pearls of your wisdom when you try to share, Insiste on the best, It just shows you care. To be born so plain and so dull's the true curse, But I tell you true, Stupid is worse. Judy Ball Narcissism - Every now and then it's not so funny.

Don't think we've had the pleasure my friend but if you see you here it means you have the ability to see your own faults and do something about it. Ben Franklin had that ability and was always trying to improve himself. It's why he had so many friends. Thanks bunches and glad you enjoyed it. God Bless, JB ;)

You've been to Washington? Narcissism flourishes there. Vince

Hi Judy, I tried to post about the Redneck poem but nothing happened so maybe I can do it here. It is hilarious and thanks for posting, I really enjoyed it as I do your wonderful visits. Your words are so encouraging and I thank your for your dear kindness. Love, Elizabeth :)

Hi Elizabeth, Glad you liked it. The Redneck Love Poem is not mine but it was too cute to keep to myself. Thanks so much for stopping by with such kind words and encouragement. God Bless, JB

Glad you enjoyed this my friend. I can't stand people who think they are a cut above the rest of us. We all have certain gifts that were given to each person as an individual. No one is "better" than his brother or sister. And it's stupid to think we are. Thanks for the great comments here. God Bless, JB
