Low slung Modern marvels Of stone and glass Sitting on the street Looking for people to eat Like architect indians Scouting the vast uncharted Frontiers of lunch Plastic beanery burger mills Out to kill the appetites Either by taste or sight It's like going out to eat At a hawaiian shirt. Howdy folks....I'm back....weigh 12 ounces less...(tumor size)....feel like I fought Mike Tyson last night...(bitten ear and all), and damn sure lost! Have some problems with spinal fluid leaking etc., thanks for all the prayers and well wishes gang....yall are great! Be back soon I hope.... |

You haven't changed at all - still the same sense of humorl.. Maybe we should tell them???? They must have missed something - I'm sure of it... ![]() Welcome back, my friend...... ![]() ------------------ Nay, if our wits run the Wild-Goose chase, I am done: For thou hast more of the Wild-Goose in one of thy wits, Than I am sure I have in my whole five. ~ ²1592 Wm.

Uh... er... umm... Nan? If you believe he'll behave, I have some swampland you might like to buy? *G* It comes complete with snakes, gators, and mosquitoes enough to put Dracula out of business? *G* |

Welcome back, Toerag. Your sense of humor and unique perspectives have been missed. LOL ... I shall never look at my neighborhood McDonalds the same way again. ------------------ "Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morierus" (When I hear the bell tolling softly for another, it says to me, "Thou must die.") |

i just became a part of this wonderful group of people just yesterday and have read a few of your poems, i find them extremely hilarious, i hope that you lost nothing in your stay with the people who are only PRACTICEING medicine. wish you a speedy recovery and many more poems with your sense of wit and humor. ------------------ If poetry is a reflection of what is in a person's soul, then I am afraid of what is inside of me. |

Toerag, it's good to have ya back-even though I never knew you were gone (was away myself). I am so glad you are feeling better-best of luck to ya. Netpoets would be very different without you! ![]() Love, ------------------ *Elizabeth* "Dwelt a maid belov'd and cherish'd by high and low, But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..." |
