Illusions coup Nightgown illusions baked to a brown, Are basted with the ego of clown. Kneeded the dough, sprinkle with flower, Baked in a mind, on the highest power. When served with a wine of your choice Offered in your tenderest voice. Lit candlelight to set shrewd shadow, Played music of a malleable rondeau. Warmed air with pleasant conversation, Unveiled in this prettiest equation. Must be tooth picked to see if it's through And if it is, then you've baked a coup. But flighty are the illusions of most, They start with a boast, go out like a ghost. Very few finish to a perfect brown, Expressly sauced with delusions clown. You must always check illusions coup, For if you do not, you pay what's due. |

Sy, Constant probing of illusion Might just add to the confusion Let it be and let it set And relish what it may beget But looking from my point of view I think you baked a poetry coup, (As you always do) Your poetry is wonderful Liz |

Now you've got me feeling hungry is all I've got to say and what I'm very hungry for won't be satisfied with a souffle! Well done, indeed! Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
