On the sleeve of his coat he tied a sign, "I Am Blind Too." On the top button of his coat he hung a little thimble. On the bottom button of his coat he hung a tin copper cup. On the middle button he hung a wooden mug. By the side of him on the left side on the sidewalk he put a galvanized iron washtub, and on the right side an aluminum dishpan.<br /><br />"It is a good day, a lucky day, and I am sure many people will stop and remember the Potato Face Blind Man," he sang to himself like a little song as he began running his fingers up and down the keys of the accordion.Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-39631161571500932282011-04-11T12:49:46.470-07:002011-04-11T12:49:46.470-07:00He still can't see the day, although he may we...He still can't see the day, although he may well be experiencing a fine day.<br /><br />Not sure what was accomplished, he's still a beggar and the primary emotion generated is sympathy or, even worse, pity.Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-36473583906162370432011-04-11T12:01:38.419-07:002011-04-11T12:01:38.419-07:00I did post as well Z...loved this one truly!!I did post as well Z...loved this one truly!!WomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-66070491003129587752011-04-11T11:35:23.938-07:002011-04-11T11:35:23.938-07:00I saw this and words are powerful -they can edify ...I saw this and words are powerful -they can edify or condemn.
