Generally Speaking

     Sherman, (not the Civil War general) and I, took another trip in the *”Wayback Machine” recently. “Sherman” said I, “set the machine for June of 2009, and let’s see where that takes us!” Well, upon arrival we came upon this bit of philosophical blather, that we both hope that you will like..

     Speaking of like and “likes” it seems that the readership here at poemsandponderings.wordpress.com, has become somewhat reticent recently, regarding “Comments” and “Likes.”  Those are the “little” things that keep us bloggers going, knowing that someone is actually viewing what we are posting. Without that reinforcement, either positive or negative, what we do becomes mundane or seemingly unappreciated, and so our enthusiasm for it wanes. Most of us are not doing this for profit or gain, only for the experience of sharing what we have created with others. So please, let all of your bloggers know that you are out there and that we don’t need to use the **SETI  program,  to find you.

     Here’s hoping to hear from you soon,

Jake.  

5 star rating for the ladies.

GENERALLY SPEAKING

Women, should command the armies,

of that, I have no doubt,

for be it, skirmish or battle epic,

all, of their guns, come out.

 From arsenals, long forgotten,

no ammo, too big, or small,

for them to use, for purpose,

when they heed, their battle call.

 There is no place, in which to hide,

from their great barrage,

no cellar deep, or attic high,

nor, far away garage.

 Her foes, will be defeated,

and take, their final breath,

praying, for the silence,

while wishing, they were deaf.
