Daughter of mine,
please cease to dine –
you must watch your diet
and be very quiet
For to be plump is no longer considered fair
economics dictates wealth=beauty=thinner than air
I’ll admonish you at the refrigerator
for I am your fat extinguisher
I dream of food
but have not chewed
anything for hours
this, the secret to my powers
Listen to me, my lean baby
can’t you see, I’m happy
follow my suit and you will be
as happy and as thin as me
Maybe if you call an African-American the “N” word in anger, and it’s caught on camera...and then you are fired from your job…maybe you did it to yourself and it didn’t just “happen to you?”
It’s called accountability.
I used an eyeliner brush for the whiskers and it was still thicker than I wanted. Drawing a San Francisco cable car brought me back. I miss that city…the way it used to be.
I agreed to be the sponsor for several sixth-grade boys who wanted to start an investment club at school. They run it and I am just the certified teacher in the room to monitor them.
During the first meeting, one of them told the audience of three kids (ages 11, 12 and 13):
“So a long-term stock is like a short-term stock, but it’s not short-term. Hence the name.”
