A "businessman", mama called me,
when at the age of eight..
I loaded out with Root Beer, some ice,
and an old crate

At ten I was selling garden seeds,
and "White Cloverine Brand Salve"
My big mistake was selling ties,
those that belonged to dad!

Come twelve, I peddled ice cream,
and spotted bowling pins
The gals would often tip me,
if their bowling team would win!

These days I'm writing poetry
and I'll give you a great deal
Someday they'll be quite valuable
Right now they're a real steal!

Pass the Glade if you're going to do that here...

Phineas,
Did you perhaps sell used cars? Ice cubes to Eskomos? This poem sells itself. ~L

Ah! Lori Rhoden! You see right through my little game, don't you! I've sold many things to many people and I've got the rap sheet to prove it!

Thanks so much for your playful reply!

Hey there Mr. Bolton! Coming from you, that's a real compliment!

I plan to release a "Poetry Dart Board" game soon. It's my answer to 'Magnetic Poetry"!

Thanks so much for your visit and your good humor!

Oh Pinky-pink-pink! If I have a "silver-tongue" my poetically pinkish princess, yours is solid gold!

(By the way Pinky...how ya fixed 'fer salve?)

And thanks for your own cute comment! I do so enjoy fun company, but I must warn you...rumors spread quick around here. Sometimes I have to slip out of one hat and into another. But most know my haberdasher by now. There's really nowhere to hide!

See ya!

Hey you Pinky!

You're not 'pretty pink prey' stranded on the Moors and I'm not the "Hound of the Baskervilles", though some do say my face is a rough recollection of the same! I'm just tryin' to peddle a little 'salve' and sell some 'poetry with potential'...that's all.

By the way, when did you first notice that I was crazy about you?

“Tickle ~ tickle ~ tickle…”  “Stinky.”  “Tickle ~ tickle ~ tickle…” Stinky”! “Aw Pinky! Just one more little tickle here and...” "KaPOw!!"

"ooOhh...! Owwww! Whew! That's quite the percolatin' punch ya got there Pinky! I think I lost a couple of teeth!

Well then, I guess we can rule out tickling in the area of me entertaining you my prize-fightin' pinkish puncher! Jeepers! What a wallop! I think I'm in love!

Hey PU,
