Subtlety… that great finesse,
the art of understatement,
where less is more,
and compassion is sensed but not felt.

If Subtlety was Worth its Weight in Gold
If subtlety was worth its weight in gold,
A pauper I admit that I would be.
Some people even say that they are owed
a debt because I’ve lacked humility.
I tried my best to mask what’s in my heart,
And use good judgment to express the truth,
But words that left my lips would tend to smart,
And worse yet were the ones that were uncouth.
So I enrolled in courses meant to teach
A discipline for my chaotic mind,
That I might practice rather than to preach,
E’er not to speak a word that is unkind.
If subtlety was worth its weight in gold,
Today my worth’s increased a thousand-fold.

Randy…are you subtle? 😉 It seems you are just right. LOL loved it. Plus I always thought the Statue of Liberty need a nose ring.

Thanks, Becca.
Why doesn’t your blog have a like button? I like like buttons. It’s like important to have a like button. Like don’t you think so? How will people really know if you like them or if they like you without a like button. Everyone should have one. I had them when I was dating and I wouldn’t date anyone without a like button? I loved pushing my date’s button. and it was likewise, I’m sure.
Hit my like button twice if you agree, and once if you don’t, five times if you really don’t care. Am I being subtle here, or what?

LOL Because I am wordpress.org and not wordpress.com I want a like button but they don”t like me.
quel dommage.
I will always miss not pushing your buttons….
There are lots of other buttons to push. Facebook, twitter, reddit (you share me on reddit I will adore you forever!) they do have their wtf section. 😉
😉 Oooh, I won’t know which ones to push first. But reddit sounds great – I love being adored!
lol
glad you l’ed ol.
I was trying to be serious here. Too subtle?
always 😀
I’m a sucker for a good rhyme!! Loved this Randy!
At least it’s only for a good rhyme.
In my case… well we’ll not go into here and now.
Thank you. Linda
