Read My Lips

When politicians talk v-e-r-y  s-l-o-w-l-y,
to try to look like they are being clear,
they sound exactly like The English
condescending to foreigners when abroad.

When their speech is that forced
I, for one, don't believe a word they say.

Signs Of Greater Age (16)

1)Reacting negatively when you hear the phrase
'I have always thought' preceding the expression
of  an opinion or idea because you know
that it is part of maturity that people change
their thoughts over time. Anyone who believes
in their own changes knows there is no 'always'.

2)Finding that there no new entertainments,
in the movies or television. Everything there is
to watch and listen to now is a weaker reiteration,
that echoes something that was expressed better before.
