Once again, inspired by an exchange with Lindsay Laurie tonight...

Measure for measure Tit for tat What goes around, comes around Don't spit at that Now you're flying high You think the world owes you ~ In the blink of an eye You'll be paying your dues

Our fortunes can change in the blink of an eye - I also really like the cadence of the first two lines :)

Hi Gershon, These are wise words indeed. A person with that attitude will find out sooner or later; that the world doesn’t owe them anything. Your comments with Lindsay Laurie inspired some good writes:-)Alexis

Great one! As people slide into position, they find their posture alarming. God is watching. As in the old days one must show if they rebuild the high places or serve the Lord God! Bless you, dear one!

If only you had studied punctuation in school, Kim. I see that you started your comment with 'Great one!' Didn't you mean to capitalize the 'o' in 'one' and a place a comma after that word as well?! lol. ~ The One and Only Great Garcon
