Mark Twain On The Subject Of Perseverance.

This might be a good time to subtly suggest 

I AM NOT ADVERSE TO ADVERTISERS NOR SPONSORS. 

Reach millions, well, maybe not that many.

The necessary costs of a charitably-inclined whatever as jackdogwelch.com

are not to be discounted. 

Suffice to say, all donations will be specifically targeted at necessaries

as first class seats and craft beer.- JDW

 

Stars are good, too. 

 

I wish I could get some to put in my hair.

But I suppose I never can.

You would be surprised to find

how far off they are,

for they do not look it.

When they first showed last night

I tried to knock some down with a pole,

but it didn’t reach, which astonished me.

Then I tried clods till I was all tired out,

but I never got one. I did make some close shots,

for I saw the black blot of the clod sail right into

thee midst of the golden clusters

forty or fifty times, just barely missing them,

and if I could’ve held out a little longer,

maybe I could’ve got one.
