A Follow-up Post to:

Oh, Woe is Me

Ye Who Cannot Laugh at Himself,

Has Never Stood Naked,

In Front of His Mirror.

                      Ancient Andy Proverb

Yesterday, to my chagrin, the world learned I had sappy lips,

I was extremely depressed at first, but now I’ve come to grips.

You, my good friends on AD, very quickly rallied to cheer me,

Your kind and gracious thoughts have now returned my glee.

Bless You All!

These are but a few of the wonderful and kind Good Will Notes,

And although I’m a very humble person, I think I shall gloat:

“Don’t Worry, Ed, Rufuz Still Loves You!”

                                                  Ed Matlack

“I don’t believe we have sappy lips

Here in North Yorkshire, Ed,

I thought all you Yanks had sappy lips.”

“You don’t look so bad.

You look like the guy’s wife that is coming to visit us.”

                                                   Ted Sheridan

“Ed, you and Andy should be on TV.

Television adds 10 lbs. to the lips,

Or is that the hips?”

                                                     Floria Kelderhouse

“Cheer Up, Ed.

My grandsons think you’d look good,

On a Saturday morning cartoon show.”

Sappy Lip Blues.”

But then again, I am very lonely!”

Provide Solace, In Your Hour of Need.”

Find a large mushroom

In a deep dark forest,

And rub it all over,

Your sappy lips.

“We have to chip in and send you on a very nice long VACATION!!”

                                                         Thomas Lanechanger

Thomas, Bless You, for your kindness and generosity,

You have truly truly filled my heart with joy and glee!

Please ask everyone to send the money to the Institute,

It’s located in London, England, on the Main Route.

Andy has been ‘bugging’ me all dog-gone night,

His evil old heart is now also filled with delight!

He says he and I should jet off to Jamaica real fast,

But, Thomas, uh, would you mind, signing our pass?

They won’t let us out without a responsible adult’s supervision,

But, Hey, Mon, Join Us in Jamaica, For Some Really Good Livin!

We can write off this wonderful trip as a business related venture,

Since we‘re scouting that location, for the next Piddles’ Adventure.

Again, God Bless You, Thomas Lanechanger
