Observations from the Past

Fio has been Fio since way before she started blogging, and she just found this gem among her papers:
    Why is it that in a household of two adults and three near-adult children, I am the only one who understands what a trash can is for? Who knows how to refill the refrigerator water bottles? Who knows how to swab a toilet?
*
Aaaaaand, Here are some crusading poems from olden times:

Airplanes to Biafra
Foodstuffs by the score--
    But don't you hear the hungry crying
    At your own front door?

Sympathy for Jackie
For Rose and Ethel too --
    But don't you hear the children weeping
    Who live so close to you?

 Charity is stylish
And sympathy is fine
Especially if they're far away
And don't require much time
