I prolly shouldn't have written this poem for it exploits a lil game my family and my friend all play together. Marge in another poem replied to me saying that it was kinda like Abbott and Costello. We play a game where we trade in our normal names and titles for these:

Mom= somebody, you
Dad= nobody, me
Friend= anybody, I
Son= who, him

now cipher the poem if you will (i know there are lotta other poems that just need readin (and ponderin) but go ahead it be fun)


I think I love you
And that's what makes me mad
Nobody cares
That Mom loves Dad

There's somebody behind you
Well that just can't be
For if there's someone behind you
It's probably me

Who dunnit!
You keep on saying
I told you who dunnit!
Why is he playing?

Somebody loves you
What a conceit
Anybody out there
Who needs to compete?

It's just you and me babe
I'm not even here
And if we should see him
We can both disappear

We like to play our little game
Anybody, Me, Somebody, Who
Where it can be a good thing to say
That nobody would ever love you

I LOVE IT!!  And I'm sure if you let Anybody and Nobody read it, they will love it too!

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

Walt, I forgot to go to bed last night, and here I sit a 4:15am my time deciphering your poem. Hey I got it, shows I'm better at reading your stuff when I'm bleary eyed.
