Pepper, Empty Your Box! It is quite hard to send a post these days To those who live afar in other states Dispite the fact we have our modern ways We owe it all of course to our Bill Gates It's called an e-mail, that's the name they gave To swift and sure deliver of the mail They say that it will time and money save And through the wires our messages will sail The Inca tribes have put Bill Gates to shame On foot they sent a post in half a day By relay team across a moutain range But Pepper's e-mail is kaput, they say Your mailbox is quite full of mail, I fear You've got to somehow empty it, my dear (And do it before midnight, sweetie!) My e-mails are not getting through to you They say your mailbox is loaded. You can't recieve any more e-mails Liz [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 12-31-1999).] |

Iknow! I know! I could walk over to her house and hand deliver a message faster than the e-mail can get it there. It's time for a call to arms! We all need to band together and tell her hubby that he's a big MEANIE if he doesn't get her a computer instead of webTV! Surely under the weight of such strong words on our part, he will have not choice but to acquiesce. Don't be a schlepper! Get a new computer For our little Pepper! |

Pepper: You deleted my VOICE????...Oh boy, that's the last time I send voice mail Lady...ROFL HUGS Elizabeth: How come I always get mail falures on your mail address? You got a full box as well?..*g* HUGS Don't ask me where I'm going, just listen when I'm gone and far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn. |

Rainbow, I have no idea why an e-mail wouldn't go through. My box is never full. I'm not as popular as Pepper. I'll e-mail you tomorrow and you click respond, see if that works. I'm off to bed. Too sleepy to see the new millenium arrive. Love ya, Liz Thanks, Michael Mr. Balladeer, I think I know a way around this mess It's a little messy, I confess I'll e-mail you all my letters Then you can simple run them over to Pepper Her box will then remain unclogged And you'll get in your daily jog I will get my precious e-mails read And Pepper won't have to worry her little head. She will get her mail so much faster If we imitate the Inca master Liz |

Sy, Thanks, there's probably an e-mail in there from me, that is, if your computer is working. Liz |

LoL ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Liz, you are a pip, you are. Happy New Year from Southern Calif. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Elizabeth, I'm afraid I'm to blame, I just love that gal to shame. I send her mail today and yesterday asking her to come out to play. I'll try to use my drums sometimes or use my trustee dimes. |

Echo, Thanks for reading all of my poems. Seems you're always there. Liz Martie, Didn't know how else to contact Pepper. But it worked, didn't it? Maybe see you soon? Liz Julie, Julie, have no fear Send your mail to Balladeer He has offered to relay Everything the poets say He will jog there every morning Dropping news and dire warning To Pepper's house he runs with ease Delivering mail, just like a breeze But if some day his legs give out We'll find a way to work it out We'll run the Inca's relay race Just keep your drum in a handy place! Thanks, Liz |

I'd love to, Liz, although I feel It might not be too great a deal If I show up, both night and day And hubby answers, what can I say? That I come, bearing mail from you? Somehow I don't think that would do. I'm not sure but it's my guess I'd be looked on as the Phoney Express!! |

Oh, sure. I simply have to say "Sir, you need service every day And, for those bedbugs that can bite You also need it every night." These are the trials and trevails Of one too good at delivering male, er, mail. |
