Among the lesser well known Greeks
of ancient times and prone to speak
in rhyme more oft' as not like thus
'twas one they called Poeticus

" This meek young lad shall not amount
to hill of beans " lamented Dad .
" He uses quill to play with words
by all accounts the boy is mad !"

"All mighty Zeus , didst thee forget
the wine that addled thy small wit
'til you behaved a drunken sot
the night our son was thence begot ?"

"How dare you say the boy is odd
most surely he's the son of gods'
and therefore more than you could know
(unless to sleep alone , you'd go !)"

A Mother knows these things , you see .
Sleep tight , my little Poetry .

LOL... Bravo! Sir Doc.  I see you've had your head in the clouds again... talkin' to the gods.  Please give Prometheus my best... goo stew wouldn't be the delight it is without his little bit of thievery.

SmartChick ,
Thanks , now I know why they call you that ( Heh Heh ).

Drew ol' buddy,
Head in the clouds ? I could've sworn that wasn't the last set of directions I got !

Nan ,
Well , it could have happened that way , sometimes I get confused with the facts .
Thanks .

Doc
