The deputies are lubricants And we are merely cogs Posting our most fragile hearts Onto aesthetic blogs They are like the slippery skin Of croaking poet frogs Fortunate are we to have This oil of which we speak To smooth the rusty edges of These wheels that grind and squeak A smooth and velvet aloe lotion Comforting the meek It is the Vaseline of PIP We hold in such esteem The WD-40 marshals Who defend the poet dream The ones whose days are longer Than our days will ever seem I stop lighthearted reverie And take a serious tone For they’ve devoted hours and hours To verses of my own And gave a more enriching gift Than I have ever known Dear moderators, take a bow And take a little pause For we are the recipients Of Ron’s devoted cause And you deserve no less than this A loud sustained applause And lots of thanks And lots of love And hugs And more hugs Thank you Liz |

Liz, might I join you in singing their praises?!? They are tirelessly working behind the scenes keeping the pip ship afloat and the engines running smoothly. I, too, am much appreciative of their efforts. This poem was a lovely gesture ~ and lovely in form.  PiP, PiP Hoooray! Hugs to all! EA |

Laughing and giggling over this... WD-40....  I've been called MUCH worse! You got a giggle, and laughter IS healthy! I miss you, Lady Santos... and this is one of the reasons why. Nothing will EVER erase your wit! |

Altho' I've not been able to stay with pip these days, I've always been charmed by your contributions. Indeed, pip folk do oil the cogs of our souls. I found the following in the "Sally Forth" comic strip yesterday. In the series of panels supposedly forecasting the new TV season, the following promo is offered: " Elizabeth Santos was the leading veterinarian for mythical beasts until the day she was diagnosed with dementia and her patients proved to be elaborate sock puppets." Perhaps the author Francesco Marciuliano knows you? I hope the above brings you a chuckle. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I couldn't belieive it when I saw your name. I wonder if the creator knows another whom he's spoofing. I see any mythical beasts, I'll send them your way. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Thanks so much for this lighthearted, yet sincere work of appreciation. It gives those of us who also greatly appreciate the constant work done by these dedicated deputies a chance to agree with you. Rae |

A fine tribute, Liz, from the queen of the site.  We may be the oil, but Toerag is the dipstick!  |
