Eulogy

EULOGY We're gathered here together to mourn a lack of defence for one who lies before us at the death of Common Sense. His name may be forgotten his wisdom was no pretence but rules and regulations caused the death of Common Sense. He taught valuable lessons, some would say he caused offence giving elders due respect which was only common sense. Parental rights were removed the rules became strict and tense, children became ones in charge which does not make common sense. The same was applied to teachers, no discipline could they dispense pupils now can run amok through the lack of common sense. People have been rewarded for doing things that were dense, receiving compensation when not using common sense. Few attended the funeral to mourn his lack of defence, and not hear the eulogy of the death of Common Sense. Copyright © Vivien Wade Jan, 2019

Thanks Juliet. Yes, we need more common sense which makes things less complicated. Blessings, Vivien
