AARP's Health-Care Stance Stirs Controversy Among Members; Obama to Set Record Straight at NH Town Hall Meeting

Dear Bluegrass…thank you for setting it all out for us to savor…with your characteristic civility and careful attention to detail….

What passage or passages from a book, poem, short story or other literary work moved you so much that you've never forgotten it?

This is not "words to live by" as so many of these wonderful posts are…just a little excercise I have for days when I think my brain might be turning to rust…. A little shot o’ dubya-dee-fawty for the mind…..

Scarlatti

Hemidemisemiquavery,

Thinsinuous schematic mice

With contrapuntal bravery

Skate on architectured ice.

They quiver neat

Allegro eyes and pizzicatti feet,

Climb frozen scales,

Slide down cadenza trails

Adlibitum and sit

With frugal rodent wit

On rallentando tails.

Then teasing, luring

and amazing purring Tempo-Tom,

They skip and scamper cadence-laden home.

These are all really good and careful and thoughtful and funny…..and I think that it’s at least borderline amusing to see who DOESN’T post on the…shall we say, "lighthearted’ threads…… can’t even muster a good "tee-hee" when you’re puckered up in sour mode now can ya?
