If you feed a hungry child
You save it for a day
If you teach a hungry child
You save it from sleepless nights
I can tell like it is, can you think of it as it does you good. I can tell it like it is, can you take it in. I can tell it like it is, but, can you forget the feeling again. I will tell you a story, you will remember it for a lifetime and tell it for many people who can take like it sure was.
Francie Lynch May 2016
Malcontents are contrary.
Praiseworthy comments
Find antithetic lamments
Filled with spite and bile.
If somethings are good,
It's understood,
They're twisting all the while.
They argue black and white,
Or night and day;
Wear blinders to other ways.
They just don't see the rainbow.
Every query has three sides;
Their's is there to despise;
Contrary to pluses
Of the other three sides.
How one pronounces the accent on the word, "contrary" gives it great meaning. As my mother used to say it in her brogue: "Don't be so contrary, you wee ****."
Hit that first syllable hard. Great word.
