Not got much to get sarcastic about today, so…here’s a short story instead (Pure chance that it rhymes…)

There was once a kid who had no need; not for a quiver, a bow, an arrow, nor a steed,

He had no need for a boastful word; not from his mother, nor his father, so none was heard

He had no need for a dollar and a dime; he had no need for a lemon nor a lime

He had no need for a lobster nor a clam; he had no need for green eggs and ham

He had only one simple basic need, and no, it was not a need for speed

His need was such that you’d never believe; his need was the type you wouldn’t perceive

His need was simple but sure was a need; oh, he had such a need, a need to read

One day he read this here, and one question came to mind; "why the hell did I just waste a precious moment in time?"

  2. Pretty sure I'm not saying what you think I'm saying, but if you're saying what I think you're saying that George Elliot said regarding what I'm saying then it's very likely that you're thinking of what I should be saying rather than, perhaps, what I really am saying, which leads to the question... Who's saying what needs to be said?
