<OT Weekend Poetry >

Uncle Frank;

Thank you. That was like a breath of fresh air. I'll have to check this guys works out. One of my favorites is Willy Wordsword. One of my office bookshelfs has the following titles:
'The Standard C Library'
'The Computerized Patient Record'
'X Windows System Programming'
'Data Structures and Program Design in C'
'Client/Server Architecture'
'Quality Software Management'
'Poems of William Wordsworth'

Guess which book has been referenced the most:-)

From 'The Fountain'

...
"And here, on this delightful day,
I cannot choose but think
How oft, a vigorous man, I lay
Beside this fountain's brink.

My eyes are dim with childish tears,
My heart is idly stirred,
For the same sound is in my ears
Which in those days I heard.

Thus fares it still in our decay:
And yet the wiser mind
Mourns less for what age takes away
Than what it leaves behind."

AAAAAAmen!
JT

OT _Dear Uncle,

Thanks for the poem. Must read several times to appreciate it for what it says. The only thing missing is the Scent Of good Earth.

From the porch,
