Dear Gravity, We need to talk about “things”... You know...the ones that have fallen. The blue pill won’t lift a Mack truck, let alone... And....I used to High Jump, now you would think we are playing that stupid lower the bar game. My chest.....gone way south, kinda like the geese have....and the bags under my eyes, well...they are trying to touch my toes... Speaking of toes...I can no longer see them....and socks suck! Stairs are longer, higher...harder. And hills are now mountains... Coffee spills easy, onto the floor and runs for the lowest part of my lap, if by chance I make a booboo. It was freakin’ hot too... The apple fell out of the tree a long time ago, and now I don’t dare climb after one, cause the ladder is only rated for so many pounds. My wife had to buy a larger bra, with more clasps....something about being stretched beyond normal limits....and perky is now a thing of the past. And....seems you always let me down and seldom up....cause up takes all my effort...and down is happening more and more these days... And lastly....how about you and I trade places for a little while....then perhaps I will get to see how many years it takes before suspenders become part of YOUR wardrobe....Need a pair? Tell your buddy Newton I said “Hey”... And good to know ya both. I hope your par fours are all nice and long....and your golf balls fall back to earth quickly too... PS....Bungie Jumping is a really big thing now... |

Well Barry, Thanks for giving gravity a piece of your mind, I've been telling him off for a while now, and he's just not listening to me anymore! |

Dear Barry: I couldn't help but notice the sarcasm in your spit fire poem. If you have issues with your socks, I feel it only fair to note, I keep feet firmly on the ground...not an easy task in most cases...and I do help with the sunrise, the tides and the occassional baseball pitch...but there are some things that even I cannot control. That having been said...a fine write! Hugs, Gravity PS: I hold the pasta on the plate, the sauce in the pan and the food on the table...whatever happens from that point on...talk to the wind. |

Love your sense of humour! ~ Mind you, when I think about it, gravity is no laughing matter! It is a grave matter! lol Seriously, I know you speak with tongue in cheek because you are still a studly guy! ~ even though your tongue may now have some difficulty in finding your cheek!  At least you're not vain! Yer a reeeel man!   Linda [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (11-11-2004 10:05 AM).] |

Hmmm...seems to me that your humor and wit aren't affected by gravity as this  bounces back to the top! |

Well, since my mornings are usually spent in the grumpy and sleepy mode, at least this brings a smile to my face as I head off to work this morning. Thanks for the grin. Jennifer All of my impurities are right here on my sleeve. This is Me"---Faith Hill |
