CAMPAIGN PROMISES

are like
Fruit Cocktail...
the pears
and
the grapes
and
the cherries
taste the same
because
they're drowning
in all that syrup

  4. SHERRY,
    Yes, but I shouldn't talk with my mouth full!

    MAGYAR,
    So true. Promise 'em anything, but give 'em gridlock!

    LORRAINE,

  9. Oops, sorry Tim. Somehow, Blogger translated your post into French and I thought you'd written it in French!

    And now I forgot what I wrote. Something about how ideally the good fruit would rise but in reality the rotten fruit does, but maybe in the end all our choices are rotten. Whatever it was, it was the most profound thing I've ever written!

  10. KOBICO,
    I think what you did write was profound...and so TRUE! (As for the French, I think I am a Frenchman at heart--at least when it comes to romance--so maybe that was more than a coincidence :)
