Kill a bug Roll a ball Wait for lovers Who don't call. Trap a mouse Sink a putt Tell the world To kiss my butt Watch tv When I'm bored Think of things Left unexplored Write some verse Here and there Read tags on My underwear Pick a stock Lose some cash Watch re-runs of Cheers and Mash Let my mind Run away Back to dreams of Yesterday. Feed the dog Give a pat Feed the goldfish To my cat Pass the mirror Never look Contemplate The roads I took Water flowers Cut the grass Wave to strangers As they pass Think of you Here with me Fly a kite Climb a tree Surf the net Looking for Who knows what Lock the door Boil an egg Wash some socks Kick a tin can Throw some rocks Cut my nails With a knife Here you have My no-called life |

Very entertaining, sounds like me. So many things to do, but I've never been so bored "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." |

I had 6 years single 'tween marriages - there were days like that - but they were few - I trust the intrepid 'deer can write of the 'other' days with equal quality - (but this was so much fun) |

Yep, some days are a real bummer. I'm sure we have all experienced what you have expressed...and very well, I might add...from time to time. It will pass. In the meantime, come out and play with us!  Denise |

I feel like this too, and is DANGEROUS for me...lol...last time, I went skinny dipping in the Mississippi River...and I can't swim...fortunately for me, there was a very diligent life guard present...grins to you....now...my Rx? GO OUT. Buy a lady a drink....shoot some pool or at least the shtuff...dive into the river baby!!! It's only rolling, not roiling. Love and Hugs. |

I've had those days where I just felt I was putting in my time waiting for the end. The only problem is those kind of days are coming more and more. Hope the new day brings you a better frame of mind. |

Michael, i believe i've told you before that this is one poem which stood out for me as very special when i first "met" you at passions ... it's a really poignant, honest, look at how life can sometimes feel empty while overly full with the daily drudgeries we all experience... it's a sad poem... it touched me then, when i read it the first time (about 10 times, i think..lol) and it touches me even moreso now it's interesting, though -- reading it now, i see so much more in it -- it's almost as if "repost" has become part of the title, because it seems like a retrospective view to me but, hey, who am i to say? i'm not the author.... just a reader who's a little touched.. oh, and btw, i don't think "appropriate" belongs in the title, tho... *wink*, although sometimes it is appropriate to look back at where we've been and how far we've come, especially when things have gotten better in our lives wow! i think i'm becoming philosophical today... geez... forgive me, please... and thank you for all you are and for all you share oh, and one more thing... just noticed serenity's comment and your response... WHAT??? no POOL???? damn!!!shoot!! i even wrote a poem about shooting pool once, i like it so much... oh well...   < !signature--> - all you can ever really ask out of life is a sincere apology and some decent poetry - [This message has been edited by doreen peri (edited 11-06-2000).] |
