-OWL FARM-


It was only the second month
Into a brand new year (2005)
He always had a plan to escape
Just didn’t yet know the time or place

Living longer than he intended to
It would be a well thought out idea,
That then became his final plan.

He finally grew weary being
In front of the crowds
Answering the same questions
Time and time again.

Many would say:
He lived his life profoundly.

In his own words:
“Too weird to live, Too rare to die”
Who knew that one day
That it would ring true.

The words he wrote;
Astounded many while,
At the same time making
Others quite curious.

Grabbing the shot gun from
Out of the closet in his office.
He places a single bullet into
The barrel of the gun.

As all the memories start
Flooding into his mind.
Contemplating his life.

This would be the final
Time he will shot his gun.

Picking up the telephone
To say his final goodbyes.

MISS COREY INTRODUCTION:

I will first start by introducing myself, my name is Corey Thomas although most people simply know
me by Miss Corey.

I am not quite sure where that nickname got started. I believe it was started by some of my

family members. They first gave me the nickname Little Miss Corey, slowly the "little" part of the nickname was dropped and so Miss Corey was the name that stuck. I have grown quite fond of the term as I feel it is respectable and proper.

I love writing so this is the reason I have started a blog. A few of my close friends have convinced me to purse this form of writing. I write about many different subjects. A few examples would be Poetry, Short Stories, Fiction, Non-Fiction, as well as Modern Manners and Etiquette.

Modern Manners and Etiquette will most likely be my main subject for this blog, but I will post a few of my poems as well.

As I am growing older, I have become very fascinated by etiquette and manners. I think I have read just about every book out on the market on this subject. As I continue to teach myself what is the "proper and respectable" way of acting around others and in social situations. I find myself observing those around me. How they present themselves in society. I have noticed that manners and etiquette have become less important in these peoples daily lives, as they once use to be held with such high regard.

It deeply saddens me how ladies act in this modern day. The ladies that I have observed do not have respect for others, but more importantly for themselves. I have come to learn that when you respect yourself, hold your head high and confident other people tend to respect you more highly.

I have created this blog in hopes that ladies and gentleman will read this and take these modern day rules of etiquette into their daily lives. I will be writing on many subjects regarding the matter.

Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction to my new blog. I hope I can help educate others and make this world a little more well mannered.

Sincerely,

MISS COREY
