Ah, Pragmatism!

“Glass half full,” some say,


“Half empty!” others inveigh.


Depends what it is, I think,  


Before I’d gurgle a big drink!

If someone 'hands' you a drink that you didn't ask for, gurgling it down isn't wise. However, if you poured it yourself, enjoy!

Hi Leland:

I have just written a poem. I think it is in answer to yours. I was inspired by your poem. Heehee!

Please read my poem, "Is The Glass Half-full or Half-Empty?" and see my answer to your query. Thanks!

Depends on what is in the glass. A good wine - and it is always half empty...

Very good--we should know what we're drinking first. Somehow we were both thinking of cups (or glasses) today.
