I chose today's song ("Hard Son," Eddie Vedder) because I like it a lot, and I'll probably like the movie for which it was written ("Into the Wild").
If you'd care to write a poem today, in the style of your choice, I'd like that, too. The topic is -- sons.
Have a happy, laid back Saturday.
Miss Begotten is one of my pet names for myself, for Southern Gothic reasons best kept to myself. Miss Begotten tries to speak plainly, but sometimes she tends to babble -- parenthetically, of course. It's never my intention to offend (and usually that's true - except on those [maybe not so] rare occasions when I mean it very friggin' much) but it sometimes happens, so if you're unusually easily offended...

The man produced a son
Who's election tortured everyone
As our leader, he didn't "Git r Done"
And unfortunately there's more than one
Yay, Puerileuwaite! Good one, and so true.
Now mine:
One steady, one mercurial, both of these sons.
Pegged by aunts to be losers, both of these ones.
Struggling and scratching and fighting to win,
Whenever necessary, beginning again.
Though less talented, talented still, they were driven more.
Living better than some, much more in store.
My father's sons' desires left in the fore.
Excellent work, Puggy and Charles!

/t.'s being naughty today. What fun!:)
They are so enjoyable when they are young
So much mischief..so much fun
But they always seem to drift away..
Never listening to what you say..
They find new friends..they find the world,
They find a job , they find a girl..
They are the greatest joy,
They are the greatest pain.
They bring the smiles, they bring the rain.
They are your legacy, they are your life..
They are son's till they find a wife..
Then hopefully your grandson won't be such an ungrateful little bastard...
xoxoxox
