He didn't like the casserole
And he didn't like my cake,
He said my biscuits were too hard
Not like his mother used to make.
I didn't perk the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Then I turned around and
Smacked him one

Like his mother used to do.

Spirit Dancer · 09-22-2010, 10:42 AM

We never know how much one loves till we know how much he or she is willing
to endure and suffer for us; and it is the suffering element that measures love.
The characters that are great must, of necessity, be characters that shall be willing,
patient and strong to endure for others. To hold our nature in the willing service
of another is the divine idea of humanity, of the human character.

Henry Ward Beecher

"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days." ~ Crash Davis, "Bull Durham"
