Illigitimi non carborundum
by Glenn Currier
Flatten me one more time
and see how I can climb
out of this trampled state.
Forget my forlorn fateĀ
after the pathetic fall
I'm back you bastards, standin tall. 02/20/2003 Author's Note: Illigitimi non carborundum... an old Latin phrase I often use in moments of exhasperation... "Don't let the bastards grind you down."

Peace... |
