Muhammad Ali's rap is a knockout! Don McLean's "Everybody Loves Me, Baby" proves that even folk-rock does vanity verse:

"You can't blame me, I'm Heaven's child

I'm the second son of Mary mild

And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde

But he didn't mind, why, he just smiled"

Dear Benjamin!

This is great:

“Bravado is just shame in a big, loud hat.”

— Karen Weese

Also this for other reasons:

“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.”

— Sylvia Plath

And this:

“Even a stopped clock is right twice every day. After some years, it can boast of a long series of successes.”

— Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

Thank you for sharing as always!

Love

Myq
