Hesperus' Nightmare

HESPERUS' NIGHTMARE "For thirty-three years I have served in the Legislature. Every now and then, you simply give the citizens what they want." - Representative Steve Holland, D-Plantersville, Mississippi State Legislature ** Could this really be in all honesty what this ass's neigh really meant to say? Or did a secret truth bare its hidden fruit in the mis-professed words of a civic whore? I have stumbled on this path with words misstated in fervor. I have felt the blissful stream transform into Satan's roar! With erred utterances I have drowned the hope of friendship evermore! Like Representative Holland I tried in the very worst way to profess my thoughts to you. And in my very worst way I wrote and lost your autumn bloom. I dare not ask for your grace but, for it, will pray. ** Tupelo Daily Journal article by Mr. Bobby Harrison, 30 March 2016.
