Thought for the day- May 29

Well, I am assuming PeterT has flown the coop for a week as threatened. I shall try to live up to his standards! here goes:

A dog starv'd at his master's gate
Predicts the ruin of the State
A horse misus'd upon the road
Calls to Heaven for human blood.
Each outcry of the hunted hare
A fibre from the brain does tear,
A skylark wounded in the wing,
A cherubim does cease to sing.

Be nice to your kids. They'll choose your nursing home.

Avenge yourself, live long enough to be a problem to your kids!

Hey Kat! Ya gotta have a firm hand with these thoughts of the day, or everyone will have one. When Peter T. comes back he'll find "thought anarchy"!
Although, Cat-a-soda's got a good point!

Hi, Rick, I know!!! Arrggghhh, I posted at midnight Mudcat time, then I thought everybody was boycotting it because it was me! Then when they DID post, it was totally off subject of my thought! Where did I go wrong???Is it a gender thing? There being more men, is this a (gasp) patriarchal site where women aren't given validity??? Oh, woe is me, (she says, gently waving a hankie full of laudanum, for the "vapors", ya know)!

In response to Cat-a-soda: My kids better be nice to me and never think of a nursing home because I shall come back to haunt them mercilessly if they do!

Anarchy rules???

Kat, I'm with you on that thought, not that I'm strong enough to live by it: I hear the earth shriek when I uproot a dandelion, I gently remove mayflies from the tub before I take a shower, I wince when I accidentally step on a snail on a rainy evening walk with my dogs--but both they and I eat meat, although I sometimes remember to apologize to the spirit of the animal whose flesh I eat.
