Triumph and Disaster

Back in 1998 -- I previously said 1997 -- there was a piece on National Poetry Month on CBS' "Sunday Morning". It occurred on the last Sunday in April. As a gag, I asked people at work, what they had done to celebrate. The interesting result was several people sharing poems, special to them, including today's pick, If by Rudyard Kipling.

Kipling gives a fairly thorough accounting of the challenges of life and sets a high bar for our expected reactions.

To paraphrase the old joke, if you like Kipling, you may want to kipple again, later...

Enjoy
