“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau
.
And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?
Archilochus
Whenever my Uncle George was in his cups, and encountered a good looking woman in a low cut dress, he'd say, "Careful when you bend over, Puss, or they'll be poppin' out on ya."
Everyone always laughed and made light of it, but today he'd probably get arrested.
Power Chicks hadn't been invented yet in Uncle George's day.
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek, There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I want to be, But I hardly know this beauty by my side, I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight, I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing, I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side, And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away, And I have never had such a feeling, Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;
The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek, There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I want to be, But I hardly know this beauty by my side, I'll never forget the way you look tonight;
I never will forget the way you look tonight... The lady in red, the lady in red, The lady in red, my lady in red,
Now TODAY we'd be more likely to hear siomething like this:
The woman's a Red, a grim Feminazi, a virago on wheels She doesn't care a bit how any man feels A poliical lesbian She's overweight and wears dungarees If any man dares to woo her, she puts him in a deep freeze She has no sympathy, don't give a damn how men feel She'd just as soon see them all staked ot on a Catherine Wheel! ...
And after 1492, despite a great deal of ado, Much struggle and inventiveness, And wars both tiny and immense, Development given to few, And much invention great and new, It all turned out that battles fought And victories won have come to naught. Columbus to whom you've referred Should have his exploits just deferred.

That, I guess, is old hat. Boo Hoo!
Now TODAY we'd be more likely to hear siomething like this:
The woman's a Red, a grim Feminazi, a virago on wheels
She doesn't care a bit how any man feels
A poliical lesbian She's overweight and wears dungarees
If any man dares to woo her, she puts him in a deep freeze
She has no sympathy, don't give a damn how men feel
She'd just as soon see them all staked ot on a Catherine Wheel! ...
And it would go off rom there ...
HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY!
Enjoy it while we still have it. The Left is scheming right now to abolish all mention of Christopher Columbus as soon as they can get away with it.
The Founding Fathers wiil be next to go on the chopping block.
_______ COLUMBUS DAY ________
And after 1492, despite a great deal of ado,
Much struggle and inventiveness,
And wars both tiny and immense,
Development given to few,
And much invention great and new,
It all turned out that battles fought
And victories won have come to naught.
Columbus to whom you've referred
Should have his exploits just deferred.
