THE United States

There’s a proverb
'United we stand divided we fall'
Ten’s sticks together unbreakable
Can be broken easily if given to all.

Wind easily blows the dust
But cannot move the rock;
Birds trapped in net, united,
Along with net, flew the flock.

As well, If people are united
For valid and right cause,
There can't be any reason
Their efforts will pause.
- S.D. Tiwari

  3. You work and work for years and years,
    ____ you're always on the go
    You never take a minute off,
    ____ too busy makin' dough
    Someday you say, you'll have your fun,
    ____ when you're a millionaire
    Imagine all the fun you'll have
    ____ in your old rockin' chair

    Enjoy yourself,
    ____ it's later than you think
    Enjoy yourself,
    ____ while you're still in the pink
    The years go by,
    ____ as quickly as a wink
    Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
    ____ it's later than you think

    You're gonna take that ocean trip,
    ____ no matter come what may
    You've got your reservations made,
    ____ but you just can't get away
    Next year for sure, you'll see the world,
    ____ you'll really get around
    But how far can you travel
    ____ when you're six feet underground?

    Your heart of hearts, your dream of dreams,
    ____ your ravishing brunette
    She's left you and she's now become
    ____ somebody else's pet
    Lay down that gun, don't try my friend
    ____ to reach the great beyond
    You'll have more fun by reaching for
    ____ a redhead or a blonde

    Enjoy yourself,
    ____ it's later than you think
    Enjoy yourself,
    ____ while you're still in the pink
    The years go by,
    ____ as quickly as a wink
    Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
    ____ it's later than you think

    You never go to night clubs and
    ____ you just don't care to dance
    You don't have time for silly things
    ____ like moonlight and romance
    You only think of dollar bills
    ____ tied neatly in a stack
    But when you kiss a dollar bill,
    ____ it doesn't kiss you back

    Enjoy yourself,
    ____ it's later than you think
    Enjoy yourself,
    ____ while you're still in the pink
    The years go by,
    ____ as quickly as a wink
    Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
    ____ it's later than you think

    Once upon a time, Great Pearls of Wisdom dropped unexpectedly from the oddest sources. Today, we must delve into the Past to ferret them out.

    HAPPY FOURTH, FJ! I hope you do something delightfully old-fashioned, prosaic and all-American with family and friends to mark the occasion.

  4. Thanks, FT! I hope your day will be as least as delightful as my own... today, we'll waste away courtesy of Arthur, but tomorrow, we BBQ w/my two sons and their wives/significant others. :)

  5. May more Americans once again find that valid and right cause!

    Happy Independence Day to you and yours, FJ!

  6. Thank you, AoW! And I hope that you and Mr. AoW have the opportunity to relax a bit and enjoy the day. There may be grey skies at present, but they, too, will soon pass.

  7. Grey skies, huh?

    We've had full sun for several hours now.

    After the radio show -- Warren today -- I'm going to dash out to the deli and pick up sandwiches for dinner. It's too windy here to grill.

    I doubt that Mr. AOW and I will attend a fireworks display. His scooter doesn't have any headlights or taillights.

  8. FJ,
    The weather-front line has to be somewhere. ;^)
