Why' We Should Dislike Oprah
Too open.
Too honest.
Too curteous.
Too giving.
Too approachable.
Too willing to listen.
Too empathetic.
Too concerned about others.
Too sacrificial.
And just too altruistic!
'Okay.
The surveys have all been collected!
It seems we have a concensus.
Are there any more reasons,
As to 'why' we should dislike Oprah? '
~Yes!
She had the nerve to announce today,
This is the last season of her TV show.
For almost twenty five years,
We knew where our wives and lovers were.
Now we'll have to find some great excuses,
As to how we spend 'our' time.
We have become outraged!
It was easy when Oprah was the addiction!
She's created some wonderful human beings.
Everyday our spouses were thoughtful.
And we secretly envied Stedman,
Gayle King and Oprah's precious dogs!
We can not compete with that.
We are demanding she stays on,
For another twenty five years! ~
And...
NEXT season is her last!
~Sure...
Go ahead.
Rub it in! ~
poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I was on the Oprah Winfrey Show once. It was a really slow news day for Oprah, and there were several of us on 'cause none of us was sufficiently interesting by his or herself.

I've done all of them except for Oprah. My shoes were on Oprah but they ran out of time so I wasn't on. I left my shoes in Chicago so they could put them on the show.

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.
