With thanks and apologies to Robert Frost. Probably my last for some time. Leaving for Tucson this week. Thank y'all fer havin' me here!

           ********************

I haven't seen my wits today.
They must have up and ran away:
No trace of them remaining here,
I watch my wondrous thoughts decay.

My empty head is feeling queer,
My eyes are searching far and near;
And though my heart seems unconcerned,
I've lost my wits somewhere I fear.

The only hint that I've discerned
Is if I want my wits returned
I must go to the USA
And see the stars where Chaco burned.

That face before me night and day
Reminds me I must not delay.
There's miles to go before LA,
There's miles to go before LA.

Very nice poem...your fate has become quite clear it seems.  I enjoyed you poems very much and I wish you the best of luck!

Happy Travels, John!  Your wits will certainly be missed in Passions.  May the USA grant you blessed memories.

PEACE

Hawk, Sherry, and Warm, thanks for your best wishes. This won't be Last Tango in Tucson, and Cassie and I may look in from time to time. Au revoir. John.

 It's never too late to have a happy childhood ...
