—
Some Britons have lost all their senses
In saying that lads may have menses.
…For the sake of the sane
…And those with a brain,
Keep fools far away with good fences.

(General William Tecumseh Sherman)
Some thought that Sherman was insane
…In early days of war.
Though at the end most didn’t, while
…Atlanta thought it more.
He mused, when he in triumph stood
…Before a nation, glad,
“I stayed by Grant when he was drunk,
…And he while I was mad.”
They thought he’d make a president,
…A leader, great, of men.
He said, “I’d rather choose instead
…Locked four years in the pen.”
Most likely, he was crazy then,
…Just crazy like a fox,
To not let people lock him in
…A presidential box.

Sane
It’s proper:
Bell in the belfry,
And not bats.
——————–
In The Heights
Many kites
In their wheeling flights –
Pretty sights.
——————–
In The Air, On The Ground
Precision:
It often matters,
Life or death.
