NAPKIN WORDS #59 2011 - Dedicated to Mike Prevor

1. HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE
The good person deserves nothing.

The bad person deserves to be known.

Imagine how much the good person can
accomplish having nothing, compared with
the bad person who is being watched by all!

2. NEVER PITY LIFE
Life carries its burdens as if they were feathers.

It sheds its tears as mere mist of soul.

Copy these qualities of life and you will be
admired for your understanding!

3. TIME – MOLASSES – ONE CAN’T COVER
One can be buried, unseen, under a mound of
molasses.

The body is visible should deeds be the shroud!

4. THE BIG PICTURE
Greatness is never who you are.

It is within the big picture, framed, and how
lucky you might be if someplace within that
big picture, you could be found!

5. HISTOARICAL BEGINNINGS
I know all you bright readers of the English
language can immediately see that there is
something wrong in the spelling of the first
word heading up this paragraph. Hold on,
let me explain.

Think about it:

This country’s greatest debt is not to great
men, though they deserve their fame, they
indeed did great things.

Still the fame that is never given, though it
is depicted by a great painting* of General
George Washington crossing the Delaware
River on December, 25, 1776*, with his troops,
is that of the men who were rowing and poling
these makeshift war ships across the treacherous
and almost frozen river. It was this daring night
raid that conquered the strong Hessian Force that
had been raised by the English, that gave a bright
spark to what would lead to the eventual conquest
of the British military might, and the very reason
for the success of the American Revolution.

So I think it only right to create an American
word (not English in this case), to spell
HISTOARICAL this way, so that tribute is paid
to those brave, sturdy unknown men with their
Oars and Poles, which by their effort, Washington
and his troops proved to be victorious.

I am polling in their favor, these unsung heroes
who helped make these United States the great
country it became. Oar you with me on this? “grin”
• much informational detail from wikipedia.org.
• The great painting of this crossing was done by Emmanuel Leutze in 1851.

6. THE ANYBODY ENIGMA
Anybody can put two four hundred pound gorillas
into a room.

The wise question is not who did this, it is why
in hell would anyone do this?

Proving that anybody might be an enigma and
most are, because they are strangers, not that
they do strange things!

TRY ALWAYS

 
Even the best
of us,
fail to succeed
all the time.

Yet the best
of us
will always
try every time!
