Hey again.  I already posted once today, but I thought this might generate more feedback.  (It's much shorter too, which is always nice).  I mentioned it in the introduction of the previous post, which you should read if you get some spare time, or if you're battling insomnia, because it is forever long.  Anyway, the following is a poem tradtionally attributed to Benjamin Franklin.  For the want of some lit discussion, I'm posting it here.  Let me know what you think. 

For the want of a nail, a shoe was lost.
For the want of a shoe, a horse was lost.
For the want of a horse, a rider was lost.
For the want of a rider, a message was lost.
For the want of a message, a battle was lost.
For the want of a battle, a war was lost.
All for the want of a nail…
