For the want of a nail

Perhaps you've heard this one before, but I thought it was neat:

For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost--
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
- Benjamin Franklin, a version of the statement from Poor Richard's Almanac

You said the other day that you wondered how many people read your blog and did not leave comments, well i'm leaving this comment so you will know that i do.
I'm not leaving a comment because I have something funny, interesting, or witty to say about the post. (or anything at all for that matter)
