rock

When I finished grade twelve we faced a two part english exam. Part one was grammer and all that good stuff and part two was a - three hour? essay. On the essay there was the usual hundred and fifty page instruction manual and then "pick one of these four topics". For the life of me I can not remember what the other three topics were but one was Silence is Golden. I said to myself I said, self it will not matter which of the other three topics you write nor will it matter what you write about them you will get a good grade BEcause the examiner will be so tired of Silence is Golden that mine with its terrible handwritting and atrocious spelling and awefull grammer will be a breath of fresh air. Of all the people who wrote the exam with me that day - the way I said that may just lead you astray, we only had twenty five people in the class - I was the only one who wrote on a differant topic AND I did get a very good grade.
While Silence is Golden could eventualy make you screeeem 'Rock' can, has and will continue to claim the intrest of countless people. Let me see there is our Rock as christians, there is rock salt there is OK OK to the point there is Rock. Should we grace it with the adjective music? Now I am in the spotlight, what will I say? "What is it about rock that you don't like?" Should I stick my neck out and give an answer? That is the Question, whether to suffer the slings and arrows . . .
