You tell me you care for me what do I do, I care too You ask me to listen to you I imagine I'll hear the truth You ask do you love me too? I always say I do Then you leave me waiting for the benefits of loving you I find myself hating the stand up routine you use. I'll be home at seven dear we'll have a good evening I'll make your favorite dish I'll be yours for the keeping all through the mellow night that won't be me sleeping Then you leave me waiting for the benefits of loving you. I find myself hating the stand up routine you use. I let you know just what I mean and I'll always be there for you But you got a stand up routine and you stand me up the fool If you said goodbye to me today There'd still be a part of me to wait And I'd be there waiting for the benefits of loving you I find myself hating the stand up routine you use. Tell me what should I do I'm so inspired by you while I find myself hating that stand up routine you use. The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Eric, my heart goes out to you, sweet friend, I hope this routine doesn't go on and on recently now and now love suprises you with such warmth and tenderness all the time! (sigh) We all wish you and your family the most merriest Christmas, God Bless You, yay! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

the unbalanced scales of "give and take"--well done! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |
