Whew! That's a lot of stuff ! Here's a poem for you:
You never know!
By " Laughing" Larry Berger
Tommorow is not guaranteed for any of us!
Death is the only sure part of life.
Everything else is up for grabs!
You could be a millionaire one day
and on the street the next!
Fortune is what you make of it
and so far I'm very lucky!
Neat huh?
