'Did you not say this was undiscovered, <br />Fresh dirt? <br />This is the same dirt that has been here for years. <br />What is so unique about it? ' <br /> <br />How it just lays there under the Sun! <br />Remember how it use to kick up dust... <br />When others rushed here to try to find something? <br />Different from what it had been then? <br /> <br />'Why 'now' is this so important to you? ' <br /> <br />Oh, it's not! <br />I just thought if I told you it was undiscovered, <br />Fresh dirt... <br />You'd be the first to spread the rumor! <br />I had no idea you would see it like I do. <br />It's the same stuff, right? <br /> <br />'You must be running out of ideas, <br />To keep your name scandalized? ' <br /> <br />Well, <br />I must admit... <br />It isn't getting any easier. <br />I remember the days when I didn't have to think, <br />To be innovative! <br />Today... <br />Everybody wants to get in on the act. <br />And I had been crowned 'King of Eccentricities'! <br />Remember? <br /> <br />'Man, <br />You are not in your right mind.' <br /> <br />Thank you! <br />At least I know you and I will always remain good friends. <br />You are quick to identify that. <br />And that is why I am not afraid to expose it to you, <br />At all. <br />Come on... <br />Let's do lunch.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
