Ha ha I like that. Though we can’t change these behaviors and sometime can find it hard to ignore too. Simply writing about it is a good outlet and warning for attitude that is not appreciated by most.

Thanks for the poem and the Poet's Notes. It's unfortunate to have someone like the one you've mentioned, visit the pages of this site and spread hate. A poet and a parochial hater cannot walk together.

This is so sad if any kind old man changes into a person of hatred. Such a person should maintain his taller status and he should be kind enough. Fooling others is not at all good.
