How is it
that a man’s Greatness
can be Summed up so Ineloquently
And yet
At the same time
So succinctly as this?
The buck stops here.
(Remembering President Harry Truman)
Aphorisms, poetry and prose from my take on everyday life. Some of it from my recently published book "Wit and Wisdom from the Wild and Wacky World of Simon Stargazer III", and part of it may appear in future books.

(Remembering President Harry Truman)
The wilderness of the mind
Is a lonely place
That’s where you put things
You just can’t face
But they will come back
And make you blue
When those awful things
Rise and haunt you
I worked on a vet the other day
He fought in a war far away
I thanked him for his sacrifice and what he’d done*
He said he wouldn’t have done it for just anyone
But he’d do it again for our country
So it would stay free for you and me
Simon Stargazer III
*I hope you thank all the vets that you meet
