Wheel of Fortune
By Larry Chadwick
Finally………………!


If you don’t have a clue,
Why don’t you buy a vowel?
Oh, you say you are broke,
Why don’t you spin again?

I thought you came to play,
How could you not have known?
I’m as open as a book,
It should have been so plain.

But I still have all the letters,
That you could not afford.
I would gladly give them away,
If only you would ask!

December 20, 2002



If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Does this mean I get a free spin?

Just kidding, I wouldn't know what to do with it if I did, but this little write was awful nice of you.....

I like your compassion Larry,  it always comes across so clearly.

Larry, I enjoyed this, too. I love "Wheel Of Fortune". I have two of the CD games, and a hand held game of it.

I enjoyed reading this piece.
It's a 'thinker' and I like that.

Larry - I always enjoy your writings. I'll take an "S" for snowing, because it is coming down hard here in Ontario. I think the feeling of being inside a snowglobe has put my muse to sleep!! hugs, Chris

This is great... especially love these lines

But I still have all the letters,
That you could not afford.


Well said.

Sorry all. It seems I have done poorly this round at acknowledging responses. You have been so kind to me. Thank you.

Ethel,
Was that as much fun for you as it was for me?

M,
It sure is nice to know that you are still here. And thanks.

Bill,
Thank you kind sir.

Sue,
You are a fine contestant. No charge for that "E".

Hi Larry!

I've been struggling for an "A" in the workshop class.  Would you please just give me one?
I really enjoyed your write.

Well now, you make a good point! Thanks.
