Here's to the farmer...

Aug 2013

Here's to the farmer who wakes before dawn

And feeds to his chickens their breakfast of corn --

And here's to the cobbler who takes an old shoe

To sew it and mend it and make it like new --

Here's to the tailor who stitches and sews --

And here's to the merchant who markets the clothes --

The barber, the builder, the brave and the bold,

The soldier, the sailor, the sensitive-souled.

The doctor, the teacher, the nurse, and the nun --

The pilot, the preacher, the daughter, the son --

The mother, the father, the uncle, the aunt --

The one who can cope and the one who just can't.

Here's to the other, and here's to the friend,

Here's to beginning and middle and end.

Here's to the elderly, here's to the youth,

Here's to prosperity -- love -- and -- truth.

Breakfast of champions !

[Firestone Feinberg]

Well I'm not a champion -- was alcoholic -- and not a nice one -- stopped drinking years ago -- felt funny abt writing a poem that's like a toast -- but it had to be that way -- and you can make a toast with club soda or grape juice -- that's what i have to do

[lee von cleef]

moderation , but yes life won't allow that, and being able to discipline any thing even this ? dopamine free internet, is a marvel, stand tall and enjoy the sun as it raises into the sky to "Toast" us.
