A quaint, one room, busy place,
Full of good old southern grace,
Lay to the east of Hawthorn Hill,
Somewhat beyond the daffodills.
Over a field and past the cows,
Beneath the deep magnolia boughs;
Beside smooth, clear Crab Creek,

Their interests come first, the nation comes last,
The people cry out, but their pleas fall fast.

Leadership
works best
as a co-operative
Why the obsession
with leadership?
I don't need it
in my happy life-sailing ship
