Frilled words that seek to ornament why must you always interfere ? To spill my guts was my intent so let me make just one thing clear . I do not relish baubled phrase , profess no love of wordy flights , though write as if were all the rage , perplexed , I blame you for this plight . Insinuating nuance to plain paper words that I would speak . It seems no matter what I do the end result is tongue in cheek . It's madness I purport , and pray , nay vow , that I shall overcome ! To Jabberwocks I'll not fall prey , nor Tweedle-Dee or Tweedle-Dum ! For there is much I wish to say , without you getting in my way !

And oh, my, if our words don't get in the way of our relationships, our tongues get in front of our eye-teeth and we can't see what we're saying. Not an original thought, here, on my part. Enjoyed reading your poem. |

Decaflame , Glad to be of service . It was a fun write too . Doc serenity , And that is why I started writing ( too often I forget and start taking myself seriously ) Thanks , Doc inot2B , Thanks , but sometimes it's a one-sided affair . Seems like I'm starting out to write one thing and end up with something comletely different .Therefore , this poem . Doc ethome , You're welcome . It was my pleasure . Doc VAS , Thanks , happens to me all the time . i can understand it when I'm talking , but when they get away from me when I'm writing then it's time to tell them off ! Doc |

DrMoose~ Oh .. fiddle-faddle Words that play Some that up and scamper away ... If upon a page of blue you happen upon a slew of mine too PLEASE ... whip a quip of self-same glee and send the rascals back to ME ! ! Now look what you've done ! I'll probably not find a sane thought this night ! LOVED this jocular moment ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Alison, Thanks for dredging this one up. "Nay"?, not too much anymore, but oh for the days when I could get words to listen to me. Doc |

sandgrain (Rae), Thanks, it's not often someone goes tip-toeing around the archives and picks one of mine out. This one I really enjoyed writing, and seeing again for a variety of reasons. First in mind would be Marges' poetic reply, unfortunately, another friend I never got the chance to meet. The fact that there are people who have picked up on the humor that I have tried to bring here while being somewhat of a self styled recluse has made all the difference in the world to me. I thank Ron for making it possible, and all of you for putting up with me. Doc Sunshine, Please see above, I think you know how I feel about this place. Thanks again. Doc |
