Froggy went a-courtin’
A current vogue of C-VILLE folks lament the lack of mates [“Charlottesville men speak,” Today’s Date, August 18].
To me it seems not lack of stock
but more of sour grapes.
Be not tepid nor glance aside
from one you may adore.
When fortune knocks then quell your fear
be bold and loose the door.
Perfection is a noble goal
exhausting to obtain.
But culling with an open heart
more often will sustain.
Several frogs may cross your lips
before you find a throne.
True lovers cry in tandem but,
the lonely cry alone.
John Stamper

CORRECTION
In the August 25 issue of SUGAR, a story about wellness coach Megan Borishansky incorrectly implied that she does not advocate exercise. In fact, exercise is a component in the 12-week Weight Loss Challenge she runs. Also, the challenge is a class, not a consultation program as the story stated.
