Frankly, My Dear

Frankly, My Dear

Oh, yes the saga of scarlet O’Hara
She was a spoiled little twit
She never had a lick of sense
No not even a little bit

She let all her raw emotions
Rule her every day
No matter the cost of it
She would have her way.

Finally she married Rhett Butler
A carpet bagger they said
But she used him all up
All his love for her gone and dead.

But in the end she loved him
But would deal with it all tomorrow
He had all he could stand from her
Later she would deal with the sorrow.

Love doesn’t conquer all
A lesson here well taught
Too much pain and sorrow
Is what their feelings brought

He had loved her through everything
But finally just threw up his hands
As he walked into the mist he just said
“Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.

Tis What Somewhere Around Fifty Percent Of Marriages These Spouses End Up Basically Saying Unto One Another Today Here In This Great Wide Expanse Of Ours. Perhaps 'Gone With The Wind' Was A Prelude Or Better An Omen In Re Things To Come ? Cool The Vent Yet I'll Opt For 'Love.' Love, John
