Mark this is from the MBOOPAS, but they wanted it on site today so they asked me to write it for you. So I'm sorry if it's not as perfect as it could be but they have given me no peace. They did shout out suggestions, and they have been included. Mark Welcome Home M ark you're back now we can all delight B ecause your return means our days will be right O outside this office where the world is quite mad O ur opinion is that without you we're rather sad P oetry is our salvation in this office you know A ppreciation to your work we will frequently show S o happy that you are now returned to our day S o glad that we can hear all you have to say A bsence may make the heart grow even fonder Y et we all missed your poetic presence and wonder M ark you are the poet of perfect words that flow A lways we see the world and grace that you show R eality stalks the halls of this our world of pain K indly your words lead us into the light once again C harming us all with your poetic heart and soul B eautiful phrases help us stop the painful hole O vercome with pain that sometimes even affects us all A ll we do is listen to the world through this line N ever did we realise that to others we seemed blind N otice the past tense we have used here A ctually we thank you for giving us back our tears N ow your poems help us get up and give W e are just pleased that through your poetry we live E xcitement in our office is now at fever pitch L ives filled with your poems makes us feel quite rich C ontrary to our wages that keep us low and almost poor O ur souls, just like Oliver, will ask for lots more M ore of your poems that make our office the place to be E ssentially we were in chains and you gave us the key H ow to express our happiness that you've come back O ur office will be a haven for those whos' souls lack M aybe we are all mad as wonderlands March Hare E ven so we would say that we don't actually care Marsha for the MBOOPAS Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Marsha and all of the MBOOPA's, you guys are gonna spoil me to no end with all of this attention. Between you guys and all the other wonderful poets in here and the sheer determination of you all, I am rather blushing now. If I could hug each and every one of you right now I would. Now I know that Daphne and Sue are somewhat battling right now but rest assure them that cowboy has TWO arms, TWO hands, and even TWO lips so please, so SCARRING or SCRAPING unless I AM IN THE MIDDLE....lol....okay so I love a few scratches now and then.....so what lol.....hugs and love to you all. |

Mark, get back to writing! Marsha and the ladies...well done! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Mark my friend, they and I am so glad it is liked. So do me a favour just come and sit in between them for half an hour. Mmmm pretty please, then I wouldn't be going at the speed of light. What with picking up the extra work, performing a juggling act and trying to stop them trying to top each other. I feel just a little frazzled, now I'm sure that demented is quite an attractive look for some, I just don't think it suits me. Anyway they have promised to behave if I send you this so I'm hoping it comes out not that their lips are quite as lushious as these are. (Mine are, sorry couldn't resist that ) Anyway they are all pleased you are back. Some of them are ecstatic, and we know who they are. Take care Mushy Marsha Kari, they are driving me to distraction, I shall have to murder them, I know I'll make them eat the canteen food. That should dispatch them quickly enough. Glad you like it love. Take care Majestic Marsha [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 11-22-2000).] |
