I am not much good in the off season content to wait for the changes to take place, I'm simply there for the duration. Retreating in the darkness of winter without a purpose, I've no function to serve. I look better upfront than I do from the back ashamed to admit I come cheaper that way... I'm a warm breeze passing through a fancy cooling off in the heat of the night. Shedding light in the summertime giving way to the view outside measured to fit into a mold I'm the slamming sound that makes your head ache. I'm screwed for life and a lot of work, a real swinger hung by the hinges I'm a handy man's nightmare giving beauty to the American dream structured to suit your every need. I'm talking curb appeal baby~~~  [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (04-28-2002 12:44 AM).] |

I am probably wrong.. but it sounds like you are talking about a screen door... "not much good in the off season" "slamming sound", "hung by the hinges"... Well? Sherry Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. |

Magicmystery~ You're quick and I thank you for reading. I guess I blew my cover pretty quickly. BC~ No need to apologize, I didn't want to give myself away so easily anyway......I'm 3 for 6. Like they say you can fool some of the people some of the time! Thanks Poet Devine~ Thank you for enjoying I had a ton of fun writing this. I should have said at the end, to serve your changing needs, not your every need!! I need to keep in mind how much work I am!! hehe~ Hi Regina~ A screen door she be!! I have one out front that is one of those wooden models in an almond color, with a full screen that hits about three feet up from the bottom and a pretty brass handle. It makes for a nice look from the curb you know! Now out back through the garage I have a cheap aluminum number that looks even cheaper than what it actually cost!! It's nice to see you here, and I appreciate you stopping by. Hi Floria~ When sitting at my computer It's s straight shot out the front door and it gives off such a nice light, I love the look, but I'll confess I never thought I'd be writing about it!! Thanks a bunch!! |

Really cool poem, Lori... I thought you were writing about me... I guess I'm being self centered but right now, I have about as much curb appeal as your screen door... I too, am hanging by the hinges and causing lots of headaches. I'm also screwed for life and a lot of work...LOL  ~lots of hugs~Lyra |

 This is so funny! Don't let it hit you on the way out. My screen doors always seem to trap more bugs on the inside. Do I have them screwed on backwards? LOL. |
