With trepidation to begin the journey once again.
Hiatus, more than wearing thin, my old familiar friend.
For you and I have appetites, quite difficult to whet,
you stare at me in blank repose, I fidget and I fret.

What happens if the edge is lost? Quite likely we'd succumb
to some form of psychotic break, a seperated sum.
Together we remain complete, an oft' perplexing pair.
There's you, a two dimension sheet, there's me, somewhere out "there".

And so old friend, we're still well met, in Scarecrows' old refrain,
we've so much to accomplish yet, if I but had a brain.

I have two tickets to the sodium bicarbonate train leaving for Yellow Brick Road.
I'm gonna send them to you.

Get your own Dorothy......smile....

This is great reading you've penned here.
Very entertaining!

Hah! I can relate. Yep. Uh huh.

Had occasion to be on that road in my travels.
Love your style, cutting to the chase as it were.

Eric,
Lol, not sure if you're saying this write gave you indigestion or not ( sodium bicarb ), but I'll take the tickets & give Dorothy a call.
Doc

Rex,
Thanks for the read & the offer, lol.
Doc

JerryPat,
Thanks , this is what happens when you go in for your annual check-up and they give you a metaphysical by mistake.
Doc

Dear Liz,
Thank you m'friend. I've been following your progress & wish you nothing but continued health and happiness.
Doc

Alison,
Well now, all this high praise and I'm going to have to start buying bigger ( straw) hats, lol. Thanks, haven't been posting much, maybe after things settle down we can get back to class.

Doc

Faith,
Thank you, that was very nice of you to say.
Doc

Indeed, perfect rhyme and meter. I should take notes. ha.
I love your writing, I've seen a few of your other pieces over in the poetry workshop. Enjoyed.
