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 charms Facing, embracing Each one in your arms I waited my turn Just like everyone else And I 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 So charming, so witty So handsome, so sweet A devil, an angel Delightful to meet The women all catered To your every whim And I could feel jealousy Brewing within 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 Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 06-29-2000).] |

Liz...I remember this one well and love it as much now as I did the first time...it's certainly got a vote from this owl To love means never to be afraid of the windstorms of life: should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross |

Just when the envy of his highness was burning me up, I discover this one drinks from a sip cup... I absolutley love it Elizabeth. jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Yes..I've read this one before. It is one of my favorites from you. I love unexpected endings. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |
