The Fog March 28, 2006 3:16 pm

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see

I try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever present hate
But I know that it’s too late

The game of life is hard to play
I’m going to lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I’m beat
And to another give a seat
For that’s the only painless feat

The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn’t hurt when it begins
But as it works it’s way on in
The pain grows stronger watch it grin

A blind man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied, “Oh why ask me?”

So if the IRS freezes my assets, does that prevent the mortgage company from foreclosing my house?

Yesterday I added the WordPress plugin Did You Pass Math? That means that unregistered users will see an question at the bottom of comments like "What is the sum of 2 and 3?" If you get it right, you can post a comment.

Wow. I had written a really long post here. Which is good because I was being whiney. Can someone put up a test comment?
