I will not ask that you forgive these short-comings of mine . Within these complex lives we live when our paths intertwine , too often pressing problem's weight tips scale away from you , and I don't realize 'till late the sky's no longer blue . I will not ask that you believe what reason makes me say , but with each passing season grieve what I've let slip away . By taking calls of great import at least that's how they seem , and filing just one more report away with all our dreams . I will not ask you what you did or who you've gone to see , but I may ask you " Hows the kids ?" ( I think that we have three). And just for old times sake my dear , and not to start a fight, "How's your new man doing this year ?" ( I hear he's working nights ) And should I ask who you percieve to be the one at fault . What you reply I do believe I'll take with grain of salt . |

Hey Doc! I think you've been working to many hours at the 'Stute. Perhaps a nice tall cool one at the Corner Pub would do you well. I don't mind you using my kitchen, but to much salt ruins the stew if you get my flavor. But if you need it, I've got a salt lick somewhere around here. Chin-up my 'Stute pal. |

The title alone was great and then I read the actual poem, fantastic. |

Drew , My friend ,everytime I set out for the pub , something strange happens . Kinda like that old movie , ( something strange happened on the way to the forum ). I just don't seem to be able to connect , haven't even answered Juliet's mail . Darned if I know what's going on but if you see her , tell her I am most honored to grant permission to her project , and if I ever am able to shake this thing I will stop by for a tall one . Doc |

You have brought back some memories best forgotten..ha..ha.. When my wife divorced me the stories she told even had me hating myself... I was the most terrible man upon this whole earth...she especially loved to tell my new girlfriends what a monster I was...in most cases they disagreed...as you say take it with a grain of salt...James |

DrMoose~ 'too often pressing problem's weight tips scale away from you' What a line of intrigue laced with aching. Well written. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Hey hey Doc! Got your message and I'll pass it along to Lady Red. I'll keep the brew on tap for your debut. Hope you squash that bug soon. All that plus I get to send this masterful piece back to the top where it belongs. Peace! |
