Another Dude ...

...as I've stated earlier, I read (what's past tense of read)a lot... as a kid on a farm in Nebr (1 month 'til 13 yrs). I have it ...."(I've read alot)".

I memeorized the first section when I was probably 12 or 13. (Just the other day)(LOL)....

Kinda difficult to say, but that's probably why I'm not married now. Actually, I've out lived the one's I loved. I guess they weren't Happy... either I divorced them, or didn't marry them.

Life is a beach, don't wash up...... on the beach!! AND I can't swim or float.

Spent the best memories of my life on the beach's of Gulfport, Biloxi, Lake Ponchatran (sp)... I'm angry about the happening's in New Orleans. BUT that's another post.

HERE's the "Story of my Life"



The time I've lost in wooing,
In watching and pursuing
The light, that lies
In woman's eyes,
Has been my heart's undoing.
Though Wisdom oft has sought me,
I scorn'd the lore she brought me,
My only books
Were woman's looks,
And folly's all they've taught me.

Her smile when Beauty granted,
I hung with gaze enchanted,
Like him, the sprite,
Whom maids by night
Oft meet in glen that's haunted.
Like him, too, Beauty won me,
But while her eyes were on me,
If once their ray
Was turn'd away,
Oh! winds could not outrun me.

And are those follies going?
And is my proud heart growing
Too cold or wise
For brilliant eyes
Again to set it glowing?
No, vain, alas! th' endeavour
From bonds so sweet to sever;
Poor Wisdom's chance
Against a glance
Is now as weak as ever.

-- Thomas Moore
