Congratulations to the Fernandina Observer for the thoughtful and up to the minute coverage.
Walk carefully among the pasture thistles,
Regard the alterative meaning of gestures of friendship,
Political foe disguises with high prejudice,
Warrant none who want to deal,
They are already in conversation,
Understand their motives and you can read their minds.
To say “good luck” would infer to your lack of choice,
I better to say “think twice before you act and you will have the advantage.”
