Premium Member I Cannot Indulge the Ignorant

ignoring ignorance annoys the ignorant ~ indulge them?  I can't

same old redundant story ~ on a soap box for an ounce of glory

too much of the same old chatter ~ spewed from the mouth of a Mad Hatter

Alice will gladly pet the Cheshire Cat ~ if it'd make him chase a rat

to all en bloc, don't swallow that drink ~ write your own poetry with ink

Premium Member I Write About

I Write About
By Franklin Price
8/24/2016

I write about most everything
Things we say and do
Things that we all think about
Food for thought for me and you

You don't have feel the same
Although that would be fun
Just want to get you thinking
Then maybe both of us have won

Don't climb much on a soap box
Try to give an overview
Unlike the slanted media
I'm trying something new

No subject is verboten
These are things I need to write
Sometimes they wake me early
Or they keep me up at night

People and, things I care about
As I travel through my days
If I dwell some on subject
I'm just going through a phase

I love it when you comment 
And either do or not agree
I'm just happy that you read my write
And thought enough to write to me
