Where are the seniors?
No, not us silver haired foxes –
although it wouldn’t hurt for some of the AARP
to take those whippersnappers out behind the barn and tan their hides.
I’m referring to the metaphor that everyone always uses
about life really only being a repetition of high school –
with the division of jocks, techno geeks, thespians, goths, preppies etc -
echoing through the ages.
I thought of that this morning
when one of the talking heads was referring to the ‘freshmen’ Senators of the Tea Party
who are responsible for the latest Washington debacle.
Really?
Who in their right minds would ever allow freshmen to take over a high school?
All I know is, it never would have happened back in Jersey.
and then crammed into their lockers.
Maybe not the best form of conflict management
but it would sure get their attention and bring them down a peg.
