There was a Young Man named Blount
He bought a note machine to count
The machine developed a bug
Instead of counting it did rag
The poor man lost all the amount
So, Barbara Blount Hall,
solid and imposing,
very proud of itself
in photo I'm seeing.
I wish I could look
through various windows
at all the gowned masters
in charge of high learning.
Then they would see me
and look up in surprise,
teaching thus faltering
for the while I was there.

The beautiful character traits that defined you… the same subtly disregarded traits
that seemed to slip away through an inadvertent lack of nurture and appreciation,
have been returned to you….and they are rightfully yours… cherish them.
When we seem to have lost our ability to recognize our greatest qualities, we must
have faith that affirmation will be returned through the hearts of others.
We all possess a ‘lost and found department’ within our hearts that allows us to
identify the artistry within others, and provides the foundation from which theses
traits can be returned if temporarily ‘lost’.
This sanctuary within our hearts allows us to encourage others to shine when their
inner glow has faded… the ability to encourage and inspire others when their core
has become burdened is the greatest gift of all.
If this gift is not shared, do not feel as though it fails to exist, it merely becomes
dormant.
Inspiration… LOVE… must never be selfishly hoarded, you must give it away to allow
it to be returned…and be assured, it will be.
Today I have bestowed my belief in you… will you be accountable for tomorrow?

Dude, guess what?
Yesterday, I got to go through my dad’s dealership
and pick out a sweet ride for my 16th birthday!
It’s a convertible, dude
It’s a hot rod, dude
It’s red, dude
It’s a hot, hot rod
And it’s got chrome-covered wheels!
Wait until the guys get a load of this!
Dude, this weekend, wanna go get drunk?
Ah! Dude! I totally saw my wellness teacher
at the Rush yesterday! She was
benching more than half the football team!
I could totally take her though!
I’m not going to let a woman tell me what to do!
Dude, I better retake the ACT this Saturday
I totally need a 16 to play on the football team
at Northwestern Kentucky State Community College!
Remind me not to drink too much after the game!
And we’re totally gonna smoke Blount County! Huh! Huh! Huh!
Dude, this guy totally looked at me funny
in the bathroom between classes! Man, we gave him the
hugest swirly! You shoulda been there!
Dude, I got practice after school today
but afterwards, you wanna go roll that ***** in Bio class?
Whaddya say?
