Ode to you Carver
Sometimes I question love. What is it that makes me smile when ever I hear your name? Each time I see a jar of peanut butter I remember those very specific ways that you felt you could show the world that you care. Something about your brilliance drew you to me. There in your thoughts I can see the key to the delicious moments of life.
Oh Goerge Washington Carver why do I love thee?
It goes beyond the fact that i did a report on you in the elementary years of my life. A time when seeing the list of hundreds of items you created from the "goober" plant was fascinating, a time when you cured one boy's polio with peanut oil and vigorous massage techniques. I barely remember what I learned, just that you were a man beyond your time and helped bring peanuts up from an annoying weed to a crop plant that farmers wanted to grow during the fallow seasons.
I love thee because you seem to pop up in the most random places. Every once in a while I've heard smaller comedians make off handed comments about the Goober man. Even in a blog about love quotes you can be found.
After a stumbleing moment I came across a Shakespeare Quote that I'd never heard before
"When i first saw you I fell in love and you smiled because you knew."
-William Shakespeare
In a search for the source of that quote (I was really just wondering if it came from a play) I run into a George Washington Carver quote about love. Talk about unexpected.
"Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough."
-George Washington Carver
Oh George I just don't know what to do with you. I'll put you in my shirt pocket and laugh the day away as you spout wisdom from just below my breast.

I also liked this one because sometimes I am terribly cynical and did not see this for the positive metaphor it probably should have been.
