Apply in person
Must pass preliminary
evaluation by
Human Resources
(hubby and diva teen)
BEFORE submitting
application

Prerequisites:
Half crazy (to be willing to fill out application)
Needing a friend like crazy
Can see commonalities in prerequisites

Qualifications:
1. Shoot from the hip
2. Don't take no ship
3. Make me laugh until tears drip

The position's been open
for over a decade now
you'd think I would have
found  another one somehow

I wish you could come back
and take my place
with him again
He'd love that too

He would want
to see the look
on her face
at the changes
he has made
to their place
since she passed
She would have liked
my stuff too
She always did

My favorite person
in that chapter
of my book
she has left
an opening behind

I am bereft

Well, this is original, and quite telling. It's like you said earlier about not knowing what to say about one of my poems. I also find myself at a loss for words here. WoW! That's a word that fits.

The end of this is so sad, Lori.  

I would have applied, but I would fail on the half crazy as I have been totally crazy from birth, lol.

Completely crazy!  That's great. Even better that is like a 2 for 1 sale! Most of the crazy people I know are quite sane.     (such as yourself)Thanks for commenting on this one.


Lori (love the owl Kat showed you)

OK, then may I make 2 applications please?

Yes, I absolutely love the owl Kitty Kat showed me too, smiles.  I just don't always allow myself the time to use it (although it only takes a few seconds to open the database I have it saved in and to copy and paste it), but panicking about time is panicking about time and I am good at that, lol!
