Rare Bird

'It takes one to know one', so they do state, but that won't take you far, as we're never told exactly who these 'they' are. 'It's not what you know, it's who you know', so the saying goes, but the devil is in the details, and I say, 'It's what you know about whom you know,' which really goes to show, whomsoever holds the power prevails. 'You have to give them what they want', so it is said, but that only adds to my pique, as I know not those 'them' of whom they speak. Some may say 'I have an axe to grind', but that's neither here nor there, as I take issue with; 'they', 'who' and 'them' unknown, yes it's my cross to bear.
