Just let your eyes
Slip softly over
My smile
Play catch
The twinkle in my eye
Laugh your way
along my lines
Linger
Spend some time
With me
Let me touch you
Wherever
You please
Don’t JUST
Read This Poem

Jerry? You get it but you don't get it? Now I don't get you...you have me bamboozled.  And I try to avoid Bam in my booze as it tends to make me cornfused.

OK OK Then I'll just look at the pictures!

Aw couldn't help it, had to read it and it's a clever little angle that all can appreciate.

I read it, now I suppose that means I'm not gonna get my hugs and kisses, I just couldn't help myself.....what can a guy do? I didn't just read it I thunk bout it too...pouting....

I said this, "Don't quite get the don't read this poem, Lori, but I certainly get the poem. Yup."

Take another look at what I wrote, Lori. I said that I didn't "get" the part about not reading the poem, but after I read the poem I "got" what you were writing the poem about.

Seems pretty self explanatory to moi.

You don't say "don't" to a poet.

the only thing more difficult than not reading this would be not reacting to it (he says, as he turns his head, raises his eyebrows and blushes and he is heard to softly say,"wow")

Don't read this reply ...
until
I've slipped my eyes
over your smile
played catch
with your twinkle
spent some time
laughing with your linger
and
OH! MY!!
Don't touch me
there!
Okay ...
you can read it now

Enjoyed


If you continue
to think
what you have always thought
you will continue
to get
what you have always got!

I hear you laugh,
though I am mostly deaf.
I feel your lines,
for they display to me in Braille.
Thank you for letting me ...
I would have been embarrassed to ask.
(This is true as I use a screne reader called Jaws for windows and as I type I read the Braille display).
