I have composed a triumphant letter
Though when I go to send I think better
Without pause in shame I smack delete
One more time my shyness doth defeat

There's a scary man I'd like to drop a line
And ask him to hear what is on my mind
He's not the boogie monster man from lore
Sometimes I wonder what I'm scaredy for

My peers have told me simply just e-mail
Direct to the point and man I cannot fail
And wayoutwalt we know you're way out, friend
Keep in mind known English 'fore you go to send

That kinda made me puff out my pouty lips
I'm sure I can write without my way-out quips
Just no yuhs no yuhs and I'll do well
I guess no yuhs and my story I can tell

For the last time the last time I'll be told
E-mail the man he has a heart of gold
Don't hesitate he is great you mustn't pause
Ask your question to the wizard of our oz

I followed the yellow brick road all alone
The one where good intentions are paved in stone
And though my words were flowery swirled
They were off to the magic capital of the world

When they were read and when they were studied
The eyes of the reader must been muddied
Because to him they made since very well
The day I first contacted Ron Carnell




 in a canyon in a cavern excavatin for a mine
dwelt a miner forty niner and his daughter clemintine!!! yeehaw!

Now,

if I may (only concerning the title) as my daughter would say, "duh..?" but I'm glad I took the time to bother. By the way, do you remember the 60's..? Man, I sure wanted to give a lot of them a free piece of my heart as Janis would say. Well, Yuh's put it... Yuh, good..! Oh, by the way I'm not real clear on this "Capital" thing... and who exactly is Carnell..?

Well, Ron has always been good at spotting diamonds in the rough and you got the market cornered on rough, Walt, and fortunately for all of us that know ya, you've got a lot of gems in there, too. Somehow the old Pounderosa wouldn't be the same without ya!

Walt~
You are so very unique.
What an innocent quality you have
about you.  
Delightfully talented and sincere ..
two tremendous qualities, my friend.

Marge has said it all in her response here, Walt, and Balladeer, as well.

You are a true diamond, shining brightly, don't ever lose that sense of innocence, either, it is quite charming.
