In life I like to sit by death
And picnic where the headstones lie
In strife I like to think on them
And ask these selfsame headstones why.

Just why they grow like garden weeds
But can't be pulled and never fade
Just why I sit upon the green
But someday neath it will be laid.

It wasn't said by me, but my favorite quote is: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Francis
