    I'm nobody...

    !'m nobody Who are you?
    Are you nobody, too?
    Then there's a pair of us -- don't tell!
    They'd banish -- you know!

    How dreary to be somebody!
    How public like a frog
    To tell one's name the livelong day
    To an admiring bog!

    Emily Dickinson was "1830-1886" surely, and not "2007-2016"?

    Do you think he wants to make himself the topic of this thread?

    How so? I have only been talking about Emily Dickinson and Grampy Bobby so far.

    look at his post...
    first, a sweet olde poem...
    next, he confesses, yet again, his undying love, admiration, and fealty to the sole proprietor,
    of his cold, cold, heart...

    I'm nobody! Who are you?
    Are you nobody, too?
    Then there’s a pair of us -- don’t tell!
    They’d banish us, you know.

    Rainer Maria Rilke:

    Das Lied der Waise

    Ich bin Niemand und werde auch Niemand sein.
    Jetzt bin ich ja zum Sein noch zu klein;
    aber auch später.

    Mütter und Väter,
    erbarmt euch mein.
    Zwar es lohnt nicht des Pflegens Müh:
    ich werde doch gemäht.
    Mich kann keiner brauchen: jetzt ist es zu früh
    und morgen ist es zu spät.

    Ich habe nur dieses eine Kleid,
    es wird dünn und es verbleicht,
    aber es hält eine Ewigkeit
    auch noch vor Gott vielleicht.

    Ich habe nur dieses bißchen Haar
    (immer dasselbe blieb),
    das einmal Eines Liebstes war.

    Nun hat er nichts mehr lieb.


    Aus: Das Buch der Bilder

    Always remember, you may be a "nobody" but just so you know you are never worthless.

    Organs go for a lot of money on the black market.
