Jerry, My daughter has a hat that says:

FORGET LOVE I'D RATHER FALL IN CHOCOLATE

I don't know as I'd go that far, but chocolate does run a close second! I enjoyed this very much. You even made me smile with the way you were cracking on that damnable woman that raised you.

Thanks for the smile first thing this morning

A truly convincingly cognitive conversation with self.  Any change is good... like
breathing, first in then out.
Really enjoyed the look inside, Jerry.

Mississippi Mud Pie!!   

Great write, my friend.

Ah, Richy, I've spent a couple of decades uncovering all my skeletons and shoving them into the world naked, letting the world see them for what they are. As you can see, I haven't quite finished with them yet. Thank you for reading this poem and paying me such nice compliments.

Observing a few "good Christians" in action can pretty much turn one off to religion,
Jerry. I think they need some chocolate, myself.

You speak the truth, Ida. The Ten Commandments are worthy, I suppose, but even they may need some upgrading. I appreciate your read and comments, my friend.
