The Way My Mind Works

The way my mind works may or may not be like yours Yet I think there's something universal here, in the proverbial pot to be stirred My brain extrapolates from the smallest things to reach grandiose conclusions Unjustified or not, to me they're no delusions... Now look at that dumb Haitian cross the street against the red light while he texts and tweets All Haitians are like that, I'm sure you'll agree the stupid jerks! -- Go back to Haiti, please But you see that pretty Filipino right over there helping an old lady cross the street with the utmost care She's a credit to her family, to her people, to her nation I'd just love to tour the Philippines on my next vacation... Yes, the way my mind works may or may not be like yours ~ Perhaps holding my tongue would provide me a cure

A most entertaining piece Gershon. Lots of Filipinos work with me and I just love them. They call me Mama because I sort of adopted one of them. He is 54yrs old so is still young enough to be my son. I look out for him. Sometimes he doesn't have enough money to bring a lunch so I feed him. He lost his wallet once and all his money was in it so I gave him money to get home on the bus,then I bought him a new wallet with a chain on it so he wouldn't lose it again. God Bless my friend, JB
