Speaker Ryan:

Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way!

Well, House Speaker Ryan, can't endorse Trump yet. Lead, follow or get out of the way! In this case I suggest that he should have been conciliatory with Mr. Donald.

If he can't endorse Trump, can Speaker Ryan at least say 'Never the Opposition candidate?' If he can't, what kind of Republican is he?

My recommendation is that Ryan resign the speaker-ship so that some other Republican can have that job, someone who will fight for the party, and for the people's choice for president.

Wouldn't it be better if he got over his never-donald hash-tag yearnings and started looking towards what's next for America?

Some things need edit to make them kinder.

MISSING YOU TONIGHT

a song in the tradition of crooners
and lovers true

words and lyrics by Billy

Missing you
tonight
Missing you
while the moon is bright
tonight
tonight
I'll ne'er be blue
when I'm with you.
Missing you
tonight
sound of the forest
and star light
tonight
tonight
while the river is bright
with the Moon reflecting
as rivers of light

Missing you
tonight
Missing you
while the Moon is bright

the forest sways
the river sasheys
the clouds roll in
but they just augment the sight

Missing you
tonight
Missing you
with the moon so bright
tonight
I'll never be blue
I'll never be blue
if I'm with you

What they claim is good
 for 'the environment' 
   really sucks 
  for the forest.

When you're alone on the train
you aren't really alone
there are all kinds of other people
traveling on that same line,
going in a similar direction,
very many destinations

Here is today's pretty poem:

  

 Get the F out of hte way
 if you can't lead
 if you can't follow
 get the f out of the way
 if you just stand there
 being a dongle

    

Big moon
in the midnight sky
big big moon
all across the sky
you can see the crowd
as the marching band
marches by
take the crowd a'dancing
off toward the stars.

 ♥♥?

There's a river
of infinite love
flooding from on high
through the heart of all.

There's a river
of infinite hope
flushing through the gorges
through the heart of all.

Spread your wings and fly away
off into your day
off into your all
