Re: A poem :-)
A Town called Pride
From the beginning in a one horse town
Nothing could be found for miles round
The cactus grew and the wind blew
And all the folks knew
That this space was out of date......A nowhere place
So they came together and looked round...up and down
And they stare....completely unaware
Till a voice in the crowd said aloud
"What we need in this town is a thing to make it proud!!"""
Another voice near the rear says
"Everyone lend an ear....I think I may have a solution here!!!"""
"Let's do something to bring pride to our side!! This town is down ....nearly to the ground"
"Let's build a fountain as tall as a mountain!!!"
A voice blares over the square
Another voice mocks
"We have no rock...no stone blocks to build a fountain as big as a mountain!!"
"We can build a statue of copper most proper!!""
A voice in the rear appears
"We have no proper copper and that's a BIG SHOW STOPPER!!""
The crowd lets out a sigh....bye and bye, "Can we think of nothing to try??"
Again a voice bellows "Listen here my fine fellows!!"
"A pyramid we can build over in yon field, like the Pharaoh's guild!!"
Here came that voice again..."That idea seems pretty thin!!"
"Hold the phone...did you forget we have no stone???"
"And I fear there is not a brain here that has the knowledge to engineer!"
They tried and they tried but no idea was found
Oh lots of ideas floated around and schemes did abound
But every one of them shot down
As they shook their heads and thought
With new ideas they wrestled and fought
Till a small voice caught all the attention
A small tot with something to mention
"I'm Proud" said the small tot out loud
"Proud I am of my neighbors, family, and friends! My pride in you all knows no ends!! On you all my hope depends!"
A small wind could have blown the whole town down.
The small voice they had found was correct, there was nothing to erect
No things wrought of stone or brick would do the trick.
Because they were never at a loss for what they tried to come across.
As the stood....
They all knew......
That pride lay in their hearts for good
THE END
