Postcards

Another day here at BMCC
   Jazz magazine at the ready
Yes and students 
  walking around
    Some say Buenos Tardes
Some say drop dead
   You can't please everyone 
    But as the song says
"You've got to please yourself"
       so here is the poem
on the Poetry Soup 
     website

Love that song, Matthew..."You can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself." I believe it's from "Garden Party" by Ricky Nelson, isn't it? My favorite books are nonfiction and deal with mysteries, oceanography, archaeology and history. Sounds boring to some, but this is what draws my interest. Thanks for asking! Love, Carolyn

Oh, this one is reminding me of that small song from Simon and Garfunkel? Or did I get that completely wrong?? I am originally from Iowa but have now lived most of my life in Utah since marrying and getting stuck out here. haha. I was in NYC once. Do you live near the big apple. It's a really cool city!
