The Last Gasp Ot the Twentieth Century

The twentieth century fades into memory The wars, the holocausts, the roaring twenties, the Depression, and the 60's are becoming the stuff of legend The years continue to roll on Bolshevism in retreat now Will there be a better day soon? Make up your mind powers that be! the masses are hoping for sweet relief The story of the 1900's is done Perhaps there are brighter days ahead We must learn to live on hope!

yes, we are still running on hope. IT's all we have, Matt. Good one, and yes, Jimmy died after Xmas in a car crash in Mexico. It really surprised me. He had just bought a fantastic house for his new bride and was gong to return to classes in January. Such a waste!!
