We
may surely all agree, there was but one Plato,
And
likewise a single Socrates. In school, we were
Taught
that Shakespeare was one of a kind, that
The
mold was broken after the likes of Beethoven.
Newton
and Einstein had a unique standing in the
Annuls
of human history. With whom could one
Compare
Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway?
Then
the issue of you came along.
You
never made it onto the cover of Time, were
Not
taped for that segment on the local 5 o’clock
News.
Going to work everyday and mowing the
Lawn
weekly never won you any profound acclaim.
Had
you not been introduced to your neighbor that
Day,
few would even know who you are. Admittedly,
Most
folks are not very adept at remembering names.
Besides,
Bob is a fairly common handle these days.
In
reality, there are probably millions Bob’s in the
World
today on whom to pin the blame. This could
Turn
out to be your lucky day. Seems as if you have
Always
preferred to go by Robert anyway.
