He always manages to bring a smile A friend unswerving, and a willing ear Perhaps to only stay and talk a while, Perhaps to bring a dose of needed cheer. You never know what thought he'll speak of next, But guessing is the interesting part -- Intelligent, a little undersexed, (hehehe) ![]() Rare specimen, a man of endless heart. The ladies (most) are putty in his hand, (He's widely known to have a silver tongue) Delicacy, it seems, he's in demand: A tasty treat for ladies old and young ... Yet here he is, a gentleman alone, Cali's untapped resource – it's such a waste! He has to know how fond of him we've grown -- Resist him? Not with THAT ol' baby-face! ![]() In every word, in every work of art Sings boundless talent and a poet's grace -- This soul, this work, is such a precious part Of us, of Passions, of this poet's place. Please join me, fellow poets, in this thanks. His smile, his heart, and GOD -- those big blue eyes! ![]() Every pen – let's show him that he ranks Right up there with whipped cream and apple pie! ![]() Yeah, so happy birthday, don't let it go to your head! ![]() < !signature--> Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest [This message has been edited by Skyfyre (edited 01-24-2000).] |

PdV and WhtDove: Thanks for replying, he really isn't so intolerable after all (but don't tell him I said so LOL) ![]() devina, thank you SO much for lending credence to my "Delicacy" line! LOL ![]() As to the rest of you, by which I mean those who HAVEN'T responded -- GET A MOVE ON, PEOPLE! It's the boy's BIRTHDAY (or was) for Heaven's sake! ![]() --Kess Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

(blush) Well Kess, I really don't know what to say... umm, my mom alsways said you're supposed to say "thank you," when recieving a gift... but somehow right now that feels a bit trite. Yet, seeing as how I can come up with naught else, thank you will have to do! |

Happy Birthday! Do we get to spank him, too? *smiling innocently* It's tradition at my house. [This message has been edited by Tara Simms (edited 01-24-2000).] |
