...You can't fire me! I....I.....I have....FRIENDS!!...(last one for now folks, I promise...and thanks for your kindness through this....this.....flare!!) Love you all.

Marriage

When love seems like a summer well,
Certain,
But a long, slow pull,
I dip into a time far back
And swallow deep
A palm-full cup.
And if I'm then a-thirsty still,
I leave my bucket on the porch,
Pick up my bamboo rod, and reel
And old, felt hat,
Then chalk the Mrs. out a note:
"Gone looking for
A stream to court."

Laughing. By the way, would someone please tell me what we are all doing up this early. Do we not have lives? Do we not have purpose? Do we not have......cornflakes?

Somehow, I think she would have realized that there are other needs that require fulfillment...

and wave you on your way....

Well, RL, I just finished my cornflakes and my 2nd cup of coffee, headed for a third soon as I peck out this admiration.

I loved this, it says so very much more below the surface...heh heh heh, I guess that's the way of your poetry.  Hope you have fun fishin' bringing the memories the tied flies bring, givin' your sweetie some time to sing.  Thanks for this one and have a great day!

GIVE A MAN A FISH AND HE WILL EAT FOR A DAY:

The World according to man.
Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

The World according to woman.
Teach him how to fish, and you get rid of him for the weekend.

Melton told this to me!!

Sounded like a great idea for my next day off until I thought with my luck lately...I'd cast into a 'babbling' brook.  Enjoyed!

Hi Bob...I've missed your poetry, so went fishing and found this al-lure-ing fishing tale.
