With Love to all - From Nan and Mysteria... Mysteria was headed east She hopped the plane at nine She placed an order, “If you please, I’ll need some warm sunshine…” Got off of the plane a stressed out mess The turbulence was scary. But that was nothing … looked outside, Their weatherman went hairy! I picked her up in Providence, I’d ordered her some sun But torrents were our providence There were no rays of sun… Frivolity was not deterred We stopped by Newport’s sea And spent the night where she preferred At Slocum’s B&B I thought that meant a BED and BATH But that made no real sense The bedroom was the aftermath The bathroom was immense I rented it for the bathroom Just see this fine décor I wanted all this luxury Enjoy, it cost me plenty more! Then Belgian Waffles were her plan Imagine her malaise… Eggs Benedict were in the pan “I don’t do hollandaise!!!” I learned a lesson on that day Don’t believe all that you read, We wound up in a two-bit joint Chowing down their feed. We saw the mansions’ turrets reign Then headed to Cape Cod Through deluges as torrents rained We two in my hot rod… She drove down Newport’s “Farewell Street” And much to our surprise On each side of the street were graves Old graves of every size!  On Monday morn we rose and shone And headed up the shore To see the gardens Marti’s honed And shop in Boston’s stores   HayMarket with Mysteria All afternoon to shop The Secrets of Victoria In bags filled to the top She said “I do not need a thing,” Then couldn’t lift her bag. One hundred dollars she had spent I think I saw Nan gag! Back on the “T” to Kenmore Square A Red Sox game to see “Please check your bags in over there” No entry through “Gate C”… “Those guys from Golds will check your bags” Over beside that door I looked “over there” to see 3 guys An alley, but no Gym or store! I said to Nan, “There is no way” Let me see what I can do, I’ll squish them all into this purse Just watch me when I’m through.” We tried once more to get inside, He said, “I’ll need to see your bag.” Nan said, “Go ahead it’s Victoria’s Secret” He twirled those undies like a flag… (slight hyperbole here) Inside and up the stairs we went, Our heads in Red Sox caps, We met our hosts, Marti and Ron Hotdogs and Bud upon our laps.  "Three strikes y’er out," the umpire yelled, But Boston loves their team. While old-time music rocked and rolled, All of our faces beamed!  How nice it was to meet a friend A Poet sweet and kind The nicest hostess in BeanTown That we could hope to find. She’s making me Mysterical But OH well, what the heck… For she’ll become faNANtical MyTucket’s our next trek!! [This message has been edited by Nan (06-25-2003 11:33 PM).] |

We went to the "Stop and Shop", Imagine my surprise They had PINK toilet paper, I couldn't believe my eyes!  I bought all they had in sight You should have seen Nan's face! When I said, "oh well, tomorrow ... I'll go back and get a case! You know what's coming next right? Having fun - wish you were here.  |

Hi Nan, Glad to see you still reaching out and meeting other poets -- guess meeting me way back when wasn't quite as traumatic for you as I first thought. Just wanted to stop in and say "hi" to you all -- even though I don't come around much anymore, you are all still close to my heart. Wish you all well. Michael |

We've all been told don't mess around With people from the net Well, I've met some from here and there And I've not one regret. Now Boston loves it's sports teams Fenway Park is always packed But you should see what Sharon and Nan Can stuff inside a sack. We had a time, it was great fun Their leaving left me sad I'm trying to Cape Cod to get And hang at Nan's new pad. Ooops, a quick addendum Imagine MY surprise Whoever heard of toilet paper pink The sun's tricking Sharon's eyes!!!! [This message has been edited by NewEnglandlazurlu (06-26-2003 04:06 PM).] |

Pink toilet paper by the case Is heading out northwest Imagine customs as they case The bags of my fine guest... Tomorrow is Nan'sTucket day Through Martha's Vineyard Sound Here's hoping that along the way Our ferry's not aground So please don't tell her yet, my friends But shopping on the isle Is where the "upper crust" might spend Small fortunes for its style I hope she's got stock in Fort Knox It's lovely there indeed A basket costs five hundred bucks She may have to concede... |

Good morning ladies ... My Ron was in stitches last reading your poems and loving all the replies!! He especially thought the case of pink toilet paper being shipped to Vancouver was an absolute riot. My Mom is being released from the hospital today and for now will recoup at my sister's house. She's feeling and looking much better. It's going to be a wild and fun weekend on NANtucket and I'll be looking forward to pictures and poetic giggles. Hugs and luvs ... Marti and Ron |

The crazy ladies of Cape Cod, Mass Are having one big ball! They're kind enough to feed us bits Although I'm sure not all. Who knows what these two get into They don't want us to know When foggy nights fill Cape Cod town And one hears cold winds blow?? The stores, we know have been reduced To little more than huts And there's no toilet paper there To wipe New England butts! It's all been sent to Canada Along with half the town. All shopping malls have boarded up Their front doors and shut down. Like ghost towns of the early west Deserted, empty now One wonders if Mysteria Had caused that, too, somehow. Cape Cod will never be the same. They're throwing in the towel 'Cause the crazy ladies of Cape Cod, Mass Are loose and on the prowl!!! |

The altitude seemed different here, I couldn’t find a breeze. It’s hot and sticky, really close, Even in shorts above my knees Once back from Boston on Cape Cod We took some time to shop The merchants gave a smile and nod When they were our next stop They’ve all restocked their shelves by now It’s time to shop some more But first we rode upon the bow And ferried far offshore We headed for Nantucket seas, Three hours away by a ferry. I finally found a little breeze So salty, nice and airy. The waves were grand the sun shone high On Martha’s Vineyard Sound Sang Chantey songs, ‘tis not a lie We were Nantucket bound I laid myself on that ship’s bow, To seek some peace of mind. The breeze was blowing gently, As I started to unwind.  I think I slept an hour or two, Then saw from far off shore. I’d had enough sunshine for now, I opted for no more. We disembarked upon the wharf The “Isle of Yesterday” Mysteria began to morph While on the “Lady Grey” (Nantucket = “Grey Lady”) We stayed this time at Hussey House Another B&B Her energy could not be doused How ever could that be?  I felt a pounding in my head And then I turned hot pink, Soon it changed to vivid red, I needed lots to drink. There in the most exclusive place, For presidents and kings, But where was I? … there in my bed Drinking bottles of Cold Springs. It seems that we had missed the boat To see First Lady Bush And sitting at a local moat Was Miss Lewinsky’s tush I’d gotten heat stroke just like that, So sad, but kind of funny. My head inside a porcelain throne A privilege costing me money! I said to her, “Just rest a bit For I’ve been here before…” She said, “NO WAY, now up I’ll get… Where was that great shoe store?”  I let it win for but a day, Can’t get the best of me. Stores galore were in that town I’d flown so far to see! I forced myself to trudge around, And filled a bag or two. “Come on, Nan, just one more block, I’m really almost through!” We covered every cobblestone, Applying mind over matter, I’m sure Nan’sTucketers all thought This Canadian girl mad as a hatter! I and deep-fried Mysteria We dined out and we shopped Exhaustion and Hysteria Took over and she dropped We loved the olden ambience Gas lights and foghorns drone Where local minstrels sing and dance On streets of cobblestone Enjoyed relaxing on the docks This whaling town at sea Its shoreline donned with Widow’s Walks Is such a treat for me   So beautiful the island was, So sad to say goodbye. But next time I go there with Nan, I’ve told her, “We will FLY!” [This message has been edited by Mysteria (07-02-2003 10:08 AM).] |

Ah, what a wonderful collaboration, ladies! Beautiful flow, and full of wonderful glimpses of your journey. … now … ~*~ Dear Sharon, I declare my dear, I know why you turned pink … Not sunstroke, nope … you just OD’d, From toilet paper ink! ~*~ Just kidding, I hope you’re feeling better. That sunstroke is no fun at all. You be well. Love the pictures ladies (and rofl @ Michael’s poem). Hugs to you both, /Kit |

And I was going to invite Sharon to Arizona. I think she would be some kind of new crispy treat if she came here. Fried crispy Sharon...I don't know what. Hope it didn't spoil too much fun. How fabulous you guys get to do all these things. I am green, no I'm not sick, with envy as I have always dreamed of visiting the northeast. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Well now - we just got home and guess who bought 7 pairs of shoes - not moi - it was her! LOL, she is finally getting the hang of this shopping  Funny though,she seems to be so happy at the time, but for some reason I see her crying in a towel when we get home. Thanks for joining in our fun you guys, and I am not lying. Nan actually bought 7 pairs of shoes! Even I don't do that, well, not in one store anyway.

You thought I was kidding right? I dreamt about her manic episode in that shoe store, but I also was an accessory to that crime, but don't tell anyone okay? See - here is her pile (notice she liked one pair so much she even bought two)  And...I am not even going to go into the trip to the 1st Craft Fair! |

Man, I'm loving this. By the way, I completely understand the shopping sprees.....I've been called a shopaholic myself. Isn't it fun? A friend of mine and I like to go to one of the Mall's in P'Cola to walk around and look at stuff. I've always loved to go into the tobacco store...pipe tobacco smells so good...even out of the pipe...and the candle store...oh, I love to smell those candles....and Victoria's Secret..... |

Ha ha, Kit, she is doing pretty darn well keeping up this time Ethel - I absolutely LOVE Victoria's Secret, and that is a whole other poem about our visit to that store, LOL, Nan was not even going to go in, and she spent a $100 in about all of five minutes! See, I am catchy |

Well I went solo on this as Nan had to work today, but this is a true story, everywhere we went yesterday they ran out of whatever it was we wanted just seconds before I asked for it, everything! ~* In Search Of Lobster In Cape Cod *~ It was so hot and muggy Not a breeze in ole Cape Cod. I said, “Lets find us some seafood, Maybe some lobster and scrod.”  The first place that we went to, “Sorry no lobster, we just ran out!” The second one’s steamer died I was darn near ready to shout. We settled for a small lobster At Lobster Sam’s last night. It had a good reputation As far as lobster goes, it’s alright.  We picked up a bumble berry pie Now we needed vanilla ice cream So we hurried off to Friendly’s Two girls with eye a gleam. We’d save the pie for tomorrow, For we saw all the sundaes there. We took our seats in the parlour Calories? Who gives a care? I decided I wanted a banana split So when the waitress came. I asked if it looked like the picture She said, “Yup, the very same!”  She said, “I made your sundae But we’re out of banana tonight, Do you want to change it in, I can make you something right?” I said, "Give me that darn banana split Everywhere I went in The Cape today Seemed to run out of whatever I wanted Please just feed me before I wane away!" I got my banana split with no banana, As She delivered Nan’s ice cream too, Poor Nan, they messed up her order, This has not been a great day it’s true. Every single place today, Ran out of our request, Just seconds before we ordered, Must be some kind of "Cape Cod Test.” I want what I want, when I want it, But they will get used to me, I am here to complain two more weeks, In wonderful Cape Cod by the sea.

One bad day, out of two whole weeks? When the going get tough...the tough get meek? I have a feeling before it's all through Mysteria will be smiling over Boston Bean Stew... |

How dare push our girls, And mess with ice cream swirls. But the lobsters gave you a break, They saved you both a tummy ache. As for the patience that was tested, To prove you both were well rested, It was meant to prove that you are saints, Unless, of course, there were too many complaints. Love you both for the fun you are sharing... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Well kids, I'm just killing myself laughing! You two seem to be having a run of 'out of luck' and I sure hope things improve. Forget the food, head for the Hyannis Mall and shop till Nan drops! Better find a cooool spot to be tomorrow; rumor has it that it's gonna be a real scorcher! Luvs and Giggles, Marti [This message has been edited by NewEnglandlazurlu (07-07-2003 07:40 PM).] |

Your poems and accolades were just wonderful and we sure enjoyed them. I feel a bit better knowing everyone is suffering in this heat now, or I think I do anyway. High 80's and 90's is too much for this ocean gal. Wind send us an email where you will be and perhaps we can link up to say hello if you like? |

I'm sorry, but am I the only one that noticed that these gals stayed at "Hussey House"? I nearly snorted beer onto the keyboard! LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL! Ed |

LOL Ed, I noticed it when I first read it, but after seeing that no-one else mentioned it.....well, I thought there were just "Hussey's" in the South. LOL  Mysteria, I'm like PdV, I'm wondering why ya'll aren't showing us pictures of the Victoria's Secret shopping trip, too? LOL I love this, and am looking forward to the next two weeks. No telling what going to happen next. LOL |

Mysteria, the "High 80's and 90's is too much for this ocean gal." Do I remember that...from when I was once a little CA gal on the coast... don't come to Kansas, as much as Dorothy, Toto and I would love to have you... you couldn't stand the 105 temps and 95% humidity... |

You just have to follow me To "Insights" in "Mature." Trust me, you won't want to miss This posting, that's for sure. Nan and I went to Provincetown She finally found me speechless So I wrote about it in "Insight" Writing it in Open seemed so useless. You will have to be old enough to tag along on this trip we took, I must say that this one Really is one for the book! Nan will be writing a much "better one" As only she can do, But I posted my version of what I saw As I wanted to share it with you. LOL, come on into Insights in Mature and follow us on the last of our journey. Our summer tour ends Saturday morning and regardless of any email you got with her screaming I know she is gonna miss my antics [This message has been edited by Mysteria (07-16-2003 11:53 AM).] |

Well I just can't believe what Nan has now written about our jaunt to Provincetown, as I only got to see it when you did. I am still in a state of shock and she writes "Behind Closed Doors?" [This message has been edited by Mysteria (07-16-2003 11:56 PM).] |

Was that trip legal? If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
