Some Wordsworth (she founded an Oxford College)
** The Good and the Clever **
If all the good people were clever,
And all clever people were good,
The world would be nicer than ever
We thought that it possibly could. 1 of 3

verse two for twitter trolls
But somehow 'tis seldom or never
The two hit it off as they should,
The good are so harsh to the clever,
The clever, so rude to the good!

Verse 3 - best wishes to all those who aspire
So friends, let it be our endeavour
To make each by each understood;
For few can be good, like the clever,
Or clever, so well as the good.

Wonderful to start with the individual. And family can have a lot to do with who we become. I kept my father's surname. My mother is a Kafka. Franz is a cousin. People think I'm dark and hyperverbal? Ha! ;-)
Keep on keeping on you awesome human you!

no metamorphosis then?
I think we did Kafka's translators (they were notable women)
If we're not clever then we'll have to be good (on the fly)

LOL! So if we're clever we get a pass? I could work with that haha. Was it you or another lovely human helping me sort through all this who asked for 10 women names? I have a list now.

Ah, but if a social justice issue arises I can really go off the rails. It took 13 years of me trying to explain how to market to the extreme multicuturalism in the USA to folks who felt youth, blonde and thin appeal to all. I kept chill on their turf. But on US turf, I lost it!
