Having re-read my Sunday Poem, I see it's possible that some might think I am calling Robert Paul a schmuck -- that is, an annoyingly stupid or foolish person. Let me assure any of you who might be thinking so that nothing could be further from the truth. I'm calling all human beings schmucks. True, Robert Paul is a human being, and, OK, yes, as such, I guess I am calling him a schmuck, but so what, so are we all. He's in damn good company -- mine own, especially. Schmucks all, we who think we're masters over brute matter. Just setting the record straight.
