The Charge of the Light Brigade

THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE
by: Alfred Tennyson

I

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!' he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

II

'Forward the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

III

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.

IV

Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turned in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder'd.
Plunged into the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd.
Then they rode back, but not,
Not the six hundred.

V

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

VI

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made!
Honor the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

Do you ever feel like...

the gum stuck to the bottom of the shoe...
the lint left in the jeans pocket...
the receipt washed and dried ...several times...
the gum stuck under the church pew since 1956...
the french fry left in the grease...
the wiener left over the fire too long...
the book with missing pages...
the airplane with a wing missing...
the stuffed animal with holes...therefore you don't have all of your stuffing...

We watched the Blind Side and It made me think of all those who are down and out and have no chance (so it seems). This isn't the first time I have had these thoughts, but, man that movie got to me.

It is really a 5 star movie. Must see...

So, what am I going to do about it?

Spice Drops
I have not had these in so long. One of our IT guys from the corporate office came in with a bag. Since then I have eaten so many, I have heart burn. Oh but what a good burn it is.
