i love you much(most beautiful darling)

more than anyone on the earth and i
like you better than everything in the sky

-sunlight and singing welcome your coming

although winter may be everywhere
with such a silence and such a darkness
noone can quite begin to guess

(except my life)the true time of year-

and if what calls itself a world should have
the luck to hear such singing(or glimpse such
sunlight as will leap higher than high

consumer education

Submitted by scotese on Sun, 2008-09-28 08:44

What the customer demands is last year's model, cheaper. To find out what the customer needs you have to understand what the customer is doing as well as he understands it. Then you build what he needs and you educate him to the fact that he needs it.

you shall above all things be glad and young

Submitted by scotese on Sun, 2006-12-31 15:00

you shall above all things be glad and young
   For if you're young,whatever life you wear

   it will become you;and if you are glad
   whatever's living will yourself become.
   Girlboys may nothing more than boygirls need:
   i can entirely her only love

   whose any mystery makes every man's
   flesh put space on;and his mind take off time

   that you should ever think,may god forbid
