Once, Words Mattered

    As the candidate yammered on 
     His opponent stood his ground

        When the first ran out of time
        In a flash the second chimed ~

    “I’d always thought a man’s word was his bond”

True indeed Gershon...We're in some kind of a media centered world where words seem to mean little. It's all in the delivery now sad to say. I'm wondering if people were watching the discussion with any kind of discriminating eye. Smiles and thanks.

I still think that Gershon. Thanks for sharing your words...or should I say your bond?
