Plea From A Cat Named Virtue

Why don't you ever want to play?
I'm tired of this piece of string.
You sleep as much as I do now,
And you don't eat much of anything.

I don't know who you're talking to.
I made a search through every room,
But all I found was dust that moved
And shadows of the afternoon.

And listen,
About those bitter songs you sing.
They're not helping anything.
They won't make you strong.

So we should open up the house.
Invite the tabby two doors down.
You could ask your sister if
She doesnt bring her bassett hound.

Ask the things you shouldnt miss.
Tape hits and the modern man,
Cold war and card catalogs
To come and join us if they can.

For girly drinks and parlor games,
We'll pass around the easy lie
Of absolutely no regrets.
And later maybe you could try
To let your losses dangle off,
The sharp edge of a century.
Talk about the weather or
how the weather used to be.

And I'll cater
With all the birds that i can kill.
Let their tiny feathers fill
Disappointment.
Lie down,
And lick the sorrow from your skin.
Scratch the terror and begin
To believe you're strong.

All you ever want to do
Is drink and watch tv.
Frankly that thing
Doesn't really interest me.

I swear I'm gonna bite you hard
And taste your tinny blood.
If you dont stop the self-defeating
Lies you've been repeating
Since the day you brought me home.

I know you're strong.


Gravatar this blog is making me sleepy.


Gravatar The War of 1812 (in Britain, the American War of 1812, to distinguish from the war with Napoleon I of France) was fought between the United States of America and the United Kingdom and its colonies, especially Upper Canada (Ontario), Lower Canada (Quebec), Nova Scotia, and Bermuda. When the war had finished, 1,600 British and 2,260 American troops had died.[1] The war was fought from 1812 to 1815 and involved both land and naval engagements. Britain was at war with France and, to impede American trade with France, imposed a series of restrictions that the U.S. contested as illegal under international law. The Americans declared war on Britain on June 18, 1812 for a combination of reasons: outrage at the impressment (seizure) of thousands of American sailors into the British navy, frustration at British restraints on neutral trade, and anger at British military support for Native Americans defending their tribal lands from encroaching American settlers.

The war started badly for the Americans as their attempts to invade Canada were repeatedly repulsed by General Isaac Brock commanding a small British force, composed largely of local militias and Native American allies. The American strategy depended on use of militias, but they either resisted service or were incompetently led. Military and civilian leadership was lacking and remained a critical American weakness until 1814. New England opposed the war and refused to provide troops or financing. Financial and logistical problems plagued the American war effort. Britain possessed excellent finance and logistics but the ongoing war with France had a higher priority, so in 1812-1813 they adopted a defensive strategy. After the defeat of Napoleon in 1814 they were able to send veteran armies to invade the U.S., but by then the Americans had learned how to mobilize and fight as well.

At sea the powerful Royal Navy instituted a blockade of the majority of the American coastline (allowing some exports from New England, which was trading with Britain and Canada in defiance of American laws.) The blockade devastated American agricultural exports, but helped stimulate local factories that replaced goods previously imported. The American strategy of using small gunboats to defend ports was a fiasco, as the British raided the coast at will. The most famous episode was a series of British raids on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. These raids included an attack on Washington D.C. that resulted in the burning of the White House, the Capitol, the navy yard and other public buildings, later called the "Burning of Washington".

The American strategy of sending out several hundred privateers to attack British merchant ships was more successful, and hurt British commercial interests, especially in the West Indies. Although few in number compared to the Royal Navy, the American Navy's heavy frigates prevailed in several one-on-one naval battles against British ships. The decisive use of naval power came on


Gravatar when. when did the decisive use of naval power come?
