When in Rome, <br />One should adjust to do... <br />Those activities that Romans choose. <br />It is not one's place, <br />To advocate... <br />What IS or IS NOT acceptable. <br />Or in poor taste. <br /> <br />When 'not' in Rome... <br />And that visit of condoning, <br />Has been left behind and alone... <br />There is no obligated need, <br />To continue to feed those traditions. <br /> <br />And 'when' one finds it comforting, <br />To do what one wishes in one's own home... <br />That's when it is best to profess and address one's beliefs. <br />With a feeling, <br />If one so desires... <br />To dismiss what is not suitable or fits. <br />In one's 'own' environment. <br />With no debate or argument to invite about this. <br /> <br />When 'not' in Rome.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
