In Like a Lion and Out Like a Lamb You came in like a lion So pompous and loud Talking and working The obvious crowd Pleasing and teasing And using your charm Embracing and gracing Each one in your arms And I waited my turn Just like every one else And couldn't take my eyes off Your wonderful self I had long been in love with you Equal to none And was saddened to think I was not number one You spent the whole evening Enchanting the room With your laughter that everyone Tried to consume The women all catered To your every whim A man of your talents That made them all grin So charming, so witty So handsome, so sweet A devil, an angel Delightful to meet By the end of the evening You finally came And gave me a kiss As you whispered my name Then you closed your blue eyes And your one-year-old charms And left like a lamb In your Daddy's warm arms Grandma [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 02-06-2000).] |

Well, you took me in too, and I'm delighted by it. I KNOW that seductive individual. This is absolutely ravingly wonderful -- what's more, I've not the slightest doubt it's publishable. |

Amen to what Ted said, Liz, though I'm not a grandma, I know what you mean about a baby's ability to charm and disarm! Wonderful poem, Liz, just wonderful! Claire |

Liz, You succeeded in getting your message across very well. Apparently, we all got fooled. I like twist endings. ~Gene |

First I thought it was me But whom am I kidding here I could never compete with him Although the blue eyes would fit Such a beautiful tribiute to your grandson Exellent and fun to read. So he is like a Ricky Marten, or Mel Gibson, or Burce Willis. Ok guys get in line The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

What beautiful responses you all have given to this poem. Thank you all very much Helmut, thanks for being here. It could have been about you, if we'd drop the last verse! Thanks for the poem. And Pepper, it's so nice to see you. I hope you get better soon. You've been ill too long. Thanks again Liz |

Liz, very sneaky, and very very sweet twist, I thought you were gonna shoot this casanova down, but you fell for his charms too. Women are so easy when your one years old. Where did I go wrong when I turned two. Parker |
