In Retrospect

In retrospect I wish I’d smacked a few smug faced intellectual bullies gloating bathed in their self-centered superiority. The more physical I was devious enough to redress given time and opportunity and the limits of schoolyard dictates There is a satisfaction in settling a score even when the opponent Isn’t aware that they’ve just been bested. Revenge may be best served cold yet justice should always be warm and present. John G. Lawless 3/16/2021

Hear! Hear! My sentiments exactly. Loved your piece, John. Especially like "...justice should always be warm and present." I also think it should be served up with flair!
