Like Irish tay She laid her rhyme upon my heart That touched in me the tender part. And I roamed in thought throughout the day Thinking on what to write or say. I tried and fished for some acclaim, A verse that would do, for her the same. And though I tried and tried each time I could not rhyme like she could rhyme. I tried in every way and manner, To verse a soft and simple banner. To tell her how much I was moved By the beautiful words she had used. And though I tried the words to weave They stayed my mouth and would not cleave All that came in a heart felt way is Her rhymes were as sweet as my Irish tay. And though I thought that said it all I never did, get her to call. |

Sy A simple verse of Irish tay As clear as water, clear as day A Seymour twist then at the end Leaves me in the dark again Elizabeth |

There is no dark for you my friend It seemed to me a funny end. For you the essence of the poem Is all above the end I've sown. You are to me so dear so sweet I thought that was a well lit street. [This message has been edited by Seymour Tabin (edited 11-28-1999).] |

Sy, OK Now I too can laugh For nothing's writ between the line I'm proud to be the subject of What is to me a special rhyme And thank you for the lovely words You touch my heart and humble me But I must tell you that I am Ecstatic with your poetry Your words are under your command Just like an artists gentle hand Elizabeth |

Nan, I think your answer from my quill Has made me laugh, I'm laughing still. One of these days I'll get my net Catch you and make you a pet. Elizabeth, It's true I am not Irish born But I love the humor they sporn. There humor is so outrageous, It strikes me down as most courageous. |

Seymour - I like your Irish Tay. Hope ya' share a cup with me. For Irish is a part of this little heart. Elizabeth, please join us. A cup o' tea will make you smile. We'll proclaim verse after verse, with a 'little spot o' tay' after awhile. Nan, I just love it. The ringing telephone, calling Seymour to the table ... in this IRISH home ! ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge I hope you read my note to you At end of poem Muted Ear For you are true an eagle swift With telepathic sense so clear And then comes Nan who boldly puts Everything in front of you Boy, how I wish I lived Right next door to both of you! Elizabeth |

Hey, I'm Irish! Can I have some of that tea? I love Irish tea! And everything else Irish! I agree with you Seymour, some are blessed with such a fine humor! I can't get enough of it! One of the many things I miss about my Dad. Such a dry sense of humor, had me laughing inside all the time!  By the way, great poem! ------------------ Denise |
