Parenthetically Speaking
~*Marge Tindal*~
        
While I fully understand the possibility
that some would see a need
for separation of their thoughts
parenthetically

They say perhaps I have a critter
that prevents me from replying
When you have (parenthesis) in your title
I keep trying - and trying - and trying !

Alas, to no avail
I cannot tell you I like your poem
So if you'd kindly not use them
on with the compliments I'd be going

That also includes those silly little [brackets]
and those funny {other thingies}
A simple - dash - accomplishes
the same idea without those wingies

It's only a little critter
that attacks Marge Tindal's replies
So if you don't see me, remember
I tried - I tried - I tried

Ahhh...quite interesting!     I'll have to keep that in mind, Marge...thanks for the heads up!  Very cute write, as always, too!

sp  

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...

Margie girl did I tell you today how WONDERFUL you are.

As always dearest sister you have written this brilliantly. Cute yes love very very cute.

I love it you know(I really really do)

Take care
love as always
Mushy
  

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
Robert Browning

Well...I am sitting here laughing my head off that is what I am doing!...Do you know how many times you told me not to do this and I always forget?    I promise you, I printed it out and it sits right here to remind me.  I got it now!   Very, very cute!

BSlicker~
Thanks ... I'll give it a look-see.

InterLoper~
I would not wish to hinder you
from writing as you please
I'll just not be able to
... a sweet reply leave

But ONLY if the (parenthesis)
are in the (TITLE), hear ???
Am I hindered at all ...
from replying to those I hold dear !

Silly !

Ampersanding with Balladeer

*Sighhhhhh*
I tried to make it very clear
that I cannot reply
if those gosh-darned parenthesis
within the TITLE lie !

*Oh, well ... back to the drawing board.

SuthernGal~
I'm kinda partial to those little ..........'s myself !

LOL !  'Sick' wasn't what I had in mind ...
but I like it !

ETHome~
Okay .... I give up !
*Sighhhhhhhhhh*
I hate beets !

Now kids ... here it is in a nutshell !

My computer has an obvious glitch ...
IF you use ( ) or { } or [ ] in the
Subject area of your poem when submitting it-

Your UserName ___________________
Your Password ___________________
Subject - DON'T put parenthesis HERE

I cannot REPLY to it without getting disconnected.
AND because I don't like getting disconnected,
I no longer will attempt to try to reply those that have them.

Just was trying to let those who use them in the SUBJECT TITLE AREA that if you don't see me ... please know that I may have read it, may have enjoyed it ... and may have wanted to leave a reply !  

That's all ... case closed !
LOL at me !
*Hugs* to all~
