Lump

I have a sinus infection. So that explains the lateness this week.
I will do my best to keep it going.

Lump (Washington National Cathedral built 1907/1990) 9/29

In 83 years
not much occurred really

Theodore Roosevelt
laid the first stone
before 20,000 people

George H. W. Bush
watched the last finial
rise into place

Between
a few wars with little
to show for themselves

The invention
of television

Space flight etc.

    this may be the most apt use of "etc." since Byron's:

    "Hail Muse!, etc..."

    also,

  2. Indeed. I hate to come across cynical in my writing, but it's hard not to sometimes.
