Ode To My Trusted Friends (poem) by Tinka Boukes on AuthorsDen

To cope with vanity or insanity

Let our pens do the talking

As our hearts do the stalking

Listen to my words today

My dear friends

Even though you impregnate my mind

Bad to the bone or nutty heart

You are still good company

With who ever your heart might be today

Just toss me a salute and wish me luck

From afar where ever you are

Because to me

Good friends

We will forever be

Combing this piece with "Chason d'Amour" was clever and fun. Thank you for the smile.

Rufuz thinks those kitty cats look appetizing enough to eat, but instead I did let him lick the monitor, he found it to taste okay and we both do say, thanks for the wonderful ode', at least with AuthorsDen we can always find a way to communicate...you are a good egg, Tinky lady...Ed & Rufuz (w00f)
