History's Folly

Charge it to stupidity
or perhaps life's futility
that little is being learned,
just more wrinkles earned!

I can out do Kristin at wrinkles any day, not to mention gray hairs, that no one ever sees thanks to Miss Clairol. Well, sometimes it does seem stupidity runs a muck. I am hoping it's not all futile. Trying to be more optimistic in the new year. Hi Fred. Miss you lately. Hope your new year will be wonderful. Love & hugs, Shar
