Suthern Sweet-Talked By Ratleader & Cpat

We didn’t know it but we worked together,
Cpat from one side and I from the other….
Seems there’s a sweet lady – writes things for herself
and then doesn’t share them; they sit on the shelf
with her fans all awaiting the next thing she’ll post
but unless Suthern feels like posting, it’s toast!

So me ‘n Cpat did a bit of sweet-talking
(a gent’s only hope for a lady who’s balking),
got her confidence up and then I did seek
a promise to post one-a-day for a week –
and the lady agreed; for us fans it was heaven,
except that today she put up number seven....

So everyone ask her, please do not stop--
while I go and bump ‘em all back to the top!

ROFLMAO... truly. LOL The werk monster isn't even going to believe that I'm working... not one darn project is down there on the floor where I'm rolling around, holding my sides and gasping. LOL

You are a brat... I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that array of poems back at the top! LOL You're also a most treasured friend. *S* I thank you and Ron both from the bottom of my heart... just lack the words to express how much. *S*

Well, I'll be darned! She's going to be tickled pink!--I know that I certainly am for her!---and for me!--'cause she'll be posting more often! Thanks guys for putting a fire under her sweet little bottom!--at least I assume it is sweet!--the rest of her sure is! LOL

I'm delighted that she's going to know just how appreciated she and her poetry truly are!

Happy hugs,
EA

======================

ROFL... that is Ruthie alright!!

What ever it took to get her to blow off the werk monster and fight with that slooooow home computer of hers...it was worth it and we reap the rhymes divine...

SO..since you boyeeees have a way with getting your way...remind her of a certain Motown poem that she needs to repost.
The moth tried but I guess I just aint sweet talking enough

All I can feel is this distance between you and me.
I can say I love you but I can't make you believe me
because touching is believing.

I guess I can never again claim to keep a low profile, right? LOL

But how you've filled my heart... I can't say I'll continue to post daily... but I will try to post more often... if only in thanks to a couple of very busy people who took time to give the gentlest of edits and the greatest encouragement to a cowardly pen pusher who doesn't know whether she's written poetry or not. *S*

You aren't just talented poets... you are true gentlemen... and this balky broad appreciates you so much. *S*

Thank you, Ed and Ron... I never knew nagging could fill my eyes with tears of gladness. *S*

Au contraire, Cap'n. *S* Your "now tell me again why you're not posting this?" was much needed encouragement. *S*

You both should take a bow... or whatever punishment PIP deems appropriate. *G*

Thank ya'll so much for getting our sweet
Suthern Lady to post more often. If I'd known
that nagging would have done it, I would have
been sending her an e-mail  EVERY  DAY!!!!!

Ruth is such a sweet lady with that wonderful
Southern charm.  

Thank you, Ed and Capt. Ron for your charms, too!!  

Heart hugs to you all,
Ethel

I can't believe Suthern would hold out on a man like that! Holy cow, all that talent just toast. Come on girl, cough them up. I mean it or it could get ugly around here. I'll sick the boys on you. Ya' hear me? Huh? Do ya'?

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

Woo-Hoo! Is it possible to add a RESPONSE to your personal library?


.....and that sweet-talking thing might just happen....if there's anybody around here I'd like to see more from, you'd be pretty much it, since I take writing lessons from you as well as drooling over your stuff for its own sake.....

Well Rat and Cpat..you've accomplished what I've tried to do for years....but, I'm just a Toerag, and nobody takes me seriously......I've read so many of Suthern's poems over the years and just gave up on trying to get her to post them...at the old Thrive...where a few of us lurked before we came here...I don't visit here often anymore but glad to see you two have Suthern doing what she should be doing....Posting her lovely poems...good job guys...
