Hello again, my dear friends.<\/strong> As a gift, I offer to you yet another one of my amusing rhymes. Yes… I\u2019ve been on a bit of a roll lately and though I realize quantity does not equate with quality, it is what it is. Some of my readers have pointed out that a few of my most recent ditties have had a definite point of view… preaching, so to speak, from the altar of Stash. Well… as Monty Python used to say, \u201cNow… for something completely different.\u201d Hope you enjoy.<\/em> <\/p>\n

P.S. If you\u2019re a Facebook friend and like my stuff, do me a favor and hit the \u201cShare\u201d button. Thanks, Stash<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em>A Modern Day Fairy Tale<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Jimmy didn\u2019t want to go to school
\nBut Mama said he\u2019d be a fool.<\/p>\n

So, to please her,
\nHe went.<\/p>\n

Jim danced through every grade
\nC\u2019s and D\u2019s were the marks he made.<\/p>\n

An underachiever…
\nBut he got by.<\/p>\n

Jim grew up and took a bride.
\nHe, with Sheila by his side…<\/p>\n

Moved to Woodstock
\nAnd took up art.<\/p>\n

Jim decided he would try to paint
\nBut the smell of tempera made him faint!<\/p>\n

Bad choice…
\nTime to alter his focus.<\/p>\n

Jim got a hammer and a rock.
\nNow Jimmy put on a sculptor’s smock<\/p>\n

But chiseling still didn\u2019t
\nPut him in the chips.<\/p>\n

So Jim got himself a pile of clay.
\nIt wasn\u2019t work… more like play.<\/p>\n

But spinning vases, bowels and such
\nCould not pay his monthly rent.<\/p>\n

Taking the last dollar from his pottery,
\nJim bought a ticket at the lottery.<\/p>\n

Fat chance…
\nBut what do you know? <\/p>\n

He won!!<\/p>\n

Mama said Jimmy would be a fool.
\nIt happened…
\nEven after attending school.<\/p>\n

Yep, a fool… and everyone agreed….
\nBut a very rich one… yes indeed.<\/p>\n

And as they say…<\/p>\n

Jimmmy and Sheila lived happily ever after.<\/p>\n

The End<\/p>\n
