Banquet Places.

Goldfinch60

The banquet was about to be laid,

The great and the good ,

The rich and the bad,

Would all be there.

The great and the good,

Confidant in their goodness,

Saying nothing.

The rich and the bad,

Money their only God,

Bragging about their power.

 

The table was ready

The place names to be set,

The young waiter

Approached the Maitre’d

And asked “Who goes where?”

The Maitre’d replied:

“Those that care don’t matter,

Those that matter don’t care.”

        Very very good GF60
        Your handle sounds
        Like a sports car...
        That flowed just
        Like one... well done !!
