Get them in the schoolyard
kick'em in the pants
force them to listen to
your insufferable rants

Make them sit in silence
loudly make it clear
any one who TALKS to them

Tell them they'll be punished
until THEY act as WE
constantly remind them
that KINDNESS IS THE KEY.

A majestic orb in clouded beauty
From afar the pain of man, unseen

I have exposed myself
Like a naked Rembrandt on display
I was seen in the museum of the common man
As...

We used to lick our postage stamps
To stick them on a letter;
But now the stamps do self-adhere,
Yet does that make life better?

And that’s how Vanya’s rant begins
In Chris Durang’s new play*
Which I feel very privileged
To have watched and loved today.

The character bemoans the fact
That life...

The Postal Service doesn’t have
Too many in its camp
And I know why, for I just learned
It’s 50 cents a stamp!

No wonder folks send e-cards
And pay all their bills online,
For 50 cents a stamp provides
A solid cause to whine.

I mostly purchase sheets of stamps
Which last me...

There was a cute young man
where I worked
Who was buying his
fishing license
And I 
so matter o factly 
asked him if he wanted
his tramp stamp with that
He quickly chimed in
Let's see

and if I catch a tramp
without the stamp
is the DNR 
gonna fine me??...
