I'm just writing away!
I haven't a clue where I'm going with this!
It is like a little adventure
with destination unknown!
Hmm! Let me see! I've got it!
I'll write about toothpaste.
I like the taste of it and how it
feels in my mouth.
~ Kinda fresh and tingly!
Keeps my smile looking bright!
And keeps people smiling back at me!
I have this apparently annoying habit
of squeezing the tube in the middle
instead of rolling it up from the end.
This always upset my parents, but
some habits are hard to kick.
It later irritated my significant other
but I just kept on squeezing from the middle!
It felt good!--and besides, who has the time
to carefully roll a tube of toothpaste
up from the bottom!
I have better things to do with my precious
minutes in the morning!
~ like putting on my makeup!
I always try to look my best--
you never know who you'll run into!
But at the very least, I always have
my brilliant smile!
~ Thanks to my friend, Mr. Toothpaste!

HaHa!! What on earth are you still doing up, my friend??  HeeHee!!  What time is it there? It's 1:29A.M. here. I couldn't sleep and since I wasn't home today, I decided to read some this morning. I was just fixing to go to bed and saw your name here. This is a really cute poem, Linda.  Oh, I do that most of the time to toothpaste tubes, too. LOL

Well, I'm off to bed.
Goodnight and dream sweet dreams.  
Ethel

Cute write Linda...
I like the idea of just starting to type away and not realy knowing where you  may end up.
This one ended perfectly!
Oooh I squeeze from the bottom as well.

Linda - me thinks you can write about anything. And about that smile, how about posting a photo so we can all see it. Of course my email is listed...

Someday, when  you least expect it, Earth Angel will be smiling at you!

Thank you for your faith in me as a versatile writer! I suppose my multiple personalities have been a help!

(giggles in delight) Oh Linda, I do the same thing!!! I love to also squeeze from the middle because squeezing from the bottom just takes so long, I guess you can say I'm desperate! (giggles) This is sooooooo cute, sweet friend, yay for Crest, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
