I’m no poet
I don’t have enough brains
To make a go of it
I’m no poet
All I do is
Sit around and fantasize
About the riding the moon high in the sky
I’m no poet
I don’t know how to tease you
I surely don’t know how to please you
I do know this
I can make you cry
If I really want to try
I can make you smile
By going a very short mile
I can make you feel sorry for me
When there is really no reason to be
I can turn you on, turn you loose
Or make you think
I’m as crazy as a goose
I can make you mad
But me a poet
Nope, not a chance
Not even a free lance

It appears to me, Alan, that you "have" freed your lance (ahem ~ poetically speaking, of course). Gosh, this sure reads like poetry to me. (smiling)

Thanks!

Me thinks you are a poet ...
yet you just dont know it
your poets pen has served you well
this poem is the proof that serves to tell
you have written a gifted verse
enjoy fellow poet.. poetry is now your curse

=================
excellent work here Alan...
enjoyed the premise behind this one
very creative
take care

You are a poet,
But you just don't know it?
Come now my friend,
When were you failed by your pen?
Your words seem to flow,
So how could you not know?
You're a poet
as sure as there's beer in a keg.
If you're not a poet
Someone's pulling my leg!

well maybe your aren't a poet,
and you just haven't show it,
maybe you could make me cry,
don't think that you would lie,
maybe you really can't tease me,
or even not able to please me,
but what you have is fantasy,
using that is already heavenly,
sitting around and penned this to show it,
geez,thinking that this sound if you were a poet.

*Hugs*.....don't worry hon, I aint no poet either...*though*
