When it comes to the visual spectrum we see
just so far either way as our eyesight allows.
Let me conjure up two other colours for thee
though it may take a bit so please bear with me now.

If you look to stage left you may see such a hue
so beyond purple folks it will radiate you
over here to stage right, shield your eyes from this heat
and don't try this at home, Not a Poet, there Pete.

And with this slight of hand to you all welcome back,
if you're new, welcome forth, this is meant most sincere.
Since I'm late I've combined two to get back on track,
Which with Nan got more points, now we'll see about 'Deer!

With a flourish, a bow, and a tip of my hat
my theatrical entrance concludes just like that.

Doctor, you do make it look easy, don't you?

Now, if you can convince me that "to burn you" is pronounced "to burn YOU", instead of "to BURN you", you aced it. Rotsa ruck!

Early or late, whenever you decide to make an appearance, it's the right time

Balladeer,
I was going argue the point, but then I decided it was much easier to just "Deer-Proof" my work.
Doc

Dear Munda,
It's nice to see you too. Thanks.
Doc

Dear Nan,
It's great to be back, don't judge him too harshly, he's probably just on a power trip,
and there's nothing wrong with striving for perfection.
Doc

No problem, mooseman. For now on everything you do is perfection. I wouldn't want my power trips to get out of hand!

Balladeer,
Maybe that comment of mine was a little off base, because, though at first I thought you were being overly critical, when I later posted my "Deer-Proofed" reply I should also have added my thanks as your prodding resulted in a better read. I guess that's what teachers are supposed to do, no?
Doc

Nan,
I didn't get the impression that he was "skeered", just probably not in the mood to put up with recalcitrant reprobates
such as myself. Lol, hopefully he'll come around.

Exactly, doc. That's what teachers are supposed to do....be overly critical

No worries. Deer hides are tough...even when hanging from walls!
