"Free the people." he said
and took a walk along the shore.
Too many black clouds
and the hatchet men.
Oh you say we must provide affordable health care
by eliminating lawsuits that hurt good doctors...
but good medicine is the best remedy for eliminating lawsuits.
"Free the people." he said as he drove the truck into town.
Too much at stake
too many out of work.
You say we are at war with terrorism.
Why do you terrorize us?
"Free the people." He said to the teacher
as he left his daughter at the school playground.
You read to a class and tell us to leave no child behind.
Then pile a debt to leave behind for the children.
"Free the people" He said to his neighbor
standing in line at the polls.
The neighbor nodded.

Minute Memo
EILEEN TABIOS, one of this past week's Stick Poet Top Five will not blog for the rest of the week as she is leaving for New York where as she puts it, "I'll be creating mischief."
Actually I believe that mischief will come in the form of poetry readings. Best wishes to her in the Big Apple!
Jilly why NASA hasn't got at least 512MB. Good question!

No Women Need Apply
"Keep Women Out" I heard him say
and then he went off to play.
What's Gregory fear of the little dears...
That they may actually play up to par?

Monday Madness
Weather sucks here in river city... but not bad enough to shut down work.
I mentioned this weekend that Love During Wartime has a new look. Let me go a step further and say that it agrees with me. I think it is a real improvement.
The second issue of Plum Ruby Review is posted. I have not had a chance to read it yet... but hope to maybe later today.
Poetry in the air... Thanks to Laurable for this find.

Forecast Factors
Prognosticator's wiggle room
three to six inches
rain or freezing rain changing to snow
Radar tracking
information lacking

we'll wait to learn
The sky looks bad
feeling stuck and sad
