THE SUGAR-PLUM TREE

by: Eugene Field (1850-1895)

AVE you ever heard of the Sugar-Plum Tree?
'T is a marvel of great renown!
It blooms on the shore of the Lollipop sea
In the garden of Shut-Eye Town;
The fruit that it bears is so wondrously sweet
(As those who have tasted it say)
That good little children have only to eat
Of that fruit to be happy next day.

When you 've got to the tree, you would have a hard time
To capture the fruit which I sing;
The tree is so tall that no person could climb
To the boughs where the sugar-plums swing!
But up in that tree sits a chocolate cat,
And a gingerbread dog prowls below--
And this is the way you contrive to get at
Those sugar-plums tempting you so:

You say but the word to that gingerbread dog
And he barks with such terrible zest
That the chocolate cat is at once all agog,
As her swelling proportions attest.
And the chocolate cat goes cavorting around
From this leafy limb unto that,
And the sugar-plums tumble, of course, to the ground--
Hurrah for that chocolate cat!

There are marshmallows, gumdrops, and peppermint canes,
With stripings of scarlet or gold,
And you carry away of the treasure that rains
As much as your apron can hold!
So come, little child, cuddle closer to me
In your dainty white nightcap and gown,
And I 'll rock you away to that Sugar-Plum Tree
In the garden of Shut-Eye Town.

Now I'm getting hungry.

Hard not to be with Blake. He guides much of how I think about life
and politics. Even when I don't know it.

Ah - well I guess we all have our personal gurus - people we like to
quote and study for inspiration.

Mine?

Here's something I've been taking notice of lately.

It seems that most of the complaining, attacking, noise making and
general political criticisms of the "other" party, in both the media and
here in rec.boats, are lefties bitching about righties.

I thought you won. Why are you fighting and complaining? What are you
afraid of?

Eisboch
They are afraid of their socialist democrat who won.

The same reason he's lied about every aspect of his life. He's a
narcissist.

That's pretty funny.
The blind leading the blind, all dressed as clowns.
When Congress does something stupid, Reid should be rounded up with
all the usual suspects.
If the Dems don't dump their Wall Street clowns, I suspect the Reps
will pick up some seats next election - if they wise up a little.
Congress is full of Clinton-era Dem Wall Street trash.

Vic, in general, how do you know what you do about Congress and its
clowns?
