A Noble Death

Strewn across the battlefield

Scores of soldiers now lie dead

They fought bravely, undeterred

For the cause, their blood they shed.


Now lifeless but not forgot

Their bodies lie, wet and cold

How many tissues gave their lives

For my daughterโ€™s runny nose?

          1. Don’t you love that? I had a few of my favorite bloggers suddenly disappear and when I searched my list they had been unfollowed. I was super mad about that let me tell you. Now once a week I scroll through to make sure everyone is still there. Especially if I don’t see posts from them for awhile.

                    2. Oh Iโ€™m a great believer in denial, if you reiterate something enough people start to believe it. Throw a bit of indignation in for good measure, it should push them over the edge: โ€œwell Mrs blah blah said it was lovely, I should never have paid so much….โ€ then go straight for the jugular with the sympathy vote…
