If you don't see the irony in this, then it is my fault. Still trying to write something funny and light.

Image © 2016, Michael S. Hyatt Sides It makes no difference, whether heads or tails. It's legal tender, that prevails. When choosing sides, to play a game. Who chooses the old, and the lame? When I order, a side of beef, to be drawn and quartered, might bring relief. No matter which side, you choose to join. You'll be blamed for joining, kicked in the groin. For football is, another name for life. The Super Bowl isn't reached, without sacrifice and strife. So whatever side you are on, I don't care at all, I'm on your side, Until the fall. And then, I'm betting on, the other side to win. Copyright 2022 © Ronald W. Hull 2/3/22 You can read and print this poem at my website here.

Again, you bring to mind a credo of a very wise person, "You many not believe as another person does but you must must respect his/her right to believe the way he/she does.". Rock on, Ron!

Love ya!

T-R-A-D-E-R!!!!!!!!!(LAUGH, HA! HA!). I LOVE THE HUMOR HERE, INDEED AND I LAUGHED OUT LOUD BECAUSE I NEEDED IT. HOWEVER, IT'S A PITY THAT IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY, RONALD. SOONER OR LATER YA GOTTA STAND. YA GOTTA TAKE SIDES...YA GOTTA BELIEVE ALL THE WAY IN AN OBJECTIVE THAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU...OR... LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING. THERE ARE CERTAIN ISSUES THAT ONE CANNOT STRADDLE THE FENCE ON AND THAT'S ALL IT IS TO IT. NOW HERE IS WHERE THE 'TOLERATED'DIFFERENCES BEGIN; THE IMPORTANCE OF ISSUES CHANGE FOR EACH OF US...AND EACH OF US SHOULD BE WILLING TO AGREE TO DISAGREE, VEERING AWAY FROM INSULT OR INJURY, WITHOUT SURRENDERING OUR SOLID SUPPORT FOR THE 'SIDE' WE HAVE CHOSEN TO STAND ON. LOVED THIS AND SO ENJOYED, THANKS! LOVE,BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Side taking sadly divides so many. In the crisis we are facing here in Canada (the convoy etc) it is pitting friends against friends and even family members against family members all across our nation. We may not want to take sides but sometimes there is no choice. Great write Ronald and well expressed.
