Forgotten Before I'M Gone

I don't want to wait 'til I die for people to praise me Tell me now, Stepmom, how easy it was to raise me And please, dear brother, do not hold back Let your friends know all the great jokes I cracked Lastly, my dear Home Economics students, wherever you are, Assure connoisseurs that I make a mean salad bar

A posh + tasty salad bar can be a lasting legacy. However, I am sure that there is much more that your former Home Ec students carry with them. Humor and compassion I'm sure. Cheers, Brian

Love to try your salad bar Gershon. I am sure it is something to look forward to my friend. Your students I hope read your fine Poetry or maybe they do not know. Its a shame not to know I am sure you would have a greater following here.

Ah, but Caesar is not ambitious... 75 ducats for each citizen... freedom to walk his private garden paths... Ambition should be made of sterner stuff! ~ Marc Antony
