Reverse Midas Touch

Like Rip Van Winkle, she confronted a new world; Hers was one of commonplace and acceptability, not exceptional nor eager for excellence. Remember when bacon packs were a pound, and diesel was cheaper than gas? 16 ouch packs are now replaced by 12 ouches with higher prices. I understand inflation. Have you seen Common Sense lately? Craftmanship and the Midas Touch are disappearing also. Perhaps you will find them with a gallant search, but be enduring and patient; for it could be a rare find. Like many things of quality and pricelessness, The Midas Touch appears to be quietly exiting the stage. The curtains are closing. Unfortunately, some things don't get to be made great again. She gave her best as she sighed by day and wept late at night. She could not compromise the essence of her soul. She wanted to stay, but could no longer compete. Often outbid by style and mediocrity, she maintained her integrity. 122622PSCtest, Edward Ibeh. Contest Name: This or That, Vol 15
