Shakespeare Said

"All that glistens is not gold"

And indeed, Antonio made

a wise decision choosing
  
  the lead casket when he

   was looking for Portia’s

   heart. All of this was of

  course, a tale pertaining

  to Shylock the Venetian

merchant who happened

   to be from Tullamore.


I find strange and not easy

to comprehend is why a

centuries later brought an

an end to age old saying

that every cloud has a silver

lining, we all now know it

ended in 1945 at Hiroshima.
