If this is a joke, it’s not funny... I don’t need to laugh, I need money... Dig into your stash, send me quick, cold hard cash... You can make the check: “payable to Sunny”... I’m sitting here patiently waiting... My time has run out for debating... You say you want me to fly? Then a ticket you’ll buy... With due haste, and without hesitating... I can no longer wait in my prison... And the time has arrived for decision... My suitcase sits there, by the door, on a chair... Like my life, in an empty condition... I’m ready, I’m willing, I’m needing... But don’t ever think that I’m greedy... Just send me enough, for my ticket and stuff... As a loan, not a gift... yes, indeedy! This isn’t a joke, it’s the real thing... And for me, it’s much more than a quick fling... I will say my goodbye... No, you won’t see me cry... Notta joke....Wait....I just heard my phone ring... It is you, and... Thank God, you’re not laughing! The road goes on forever, and the stories never end... |

That seems a small price to pay, To have a beautiful sunny day, I’d dig in my stash and get the cash, If it was for me this was intent, For such a wonderful writer, That can make a day so much brighter, I’m sure it would be money well spent. No joking from me, laughter does not become me. Gloom |

Ah, Gloom....the perfect reply, and I thank you!! Some things in life really aren't that funny, and I'm glad you saw the 'gloom' factor lurking here......... The road goes on forever, and the stories never end... |

oh, you are such a good friend, and have a heart of gold, but things always take care of themselves in the long run, don't they? Thank you for the offer, but I've found it's best not to borrow from friends!!! Ha!!! Best of luck on the lottery though!!!!!!!!! The road goes on forever, and the stories never end... |

Oh, Sunny, I KNOW how you feel. I just bought a plane ticket and in 2 weeks I'm out of here! I wish I could take you with me! I'm sure you would enjoy yourself...maybe not! I'm not much fun lately but I would certainly try and I have lots of cash...but don't tell anyone ok?

Sunnyone, I don't have a coin for you honey, but if hats-full of happy were money, your purse would be healthy, you'd always be wealthy, cause I'll share all I have with you, Sunny! |
