Eyes Wide Open

Some say that he was born to lead
Others, that he was much too weak
Yet, they followed, blind as bats
Eyes wide open, kissing ass
Until he led them into the deep!

This is jagged funny, but you have to laugh, so, you've done the job, right? ! One virtue of this is that you simply have to read it again. thanks as always , Audrey, and I hope the big day is closer for you and Jimmy. Thank you, truly, Gerard
