Poem Artwork

Karla & Karen,

Bonnie & Eileen,

Ed, George & Al,

You have all been such pals…

 

Linda & Carol,

Rose & Louisa,

Regis, Ron & Fee,

Thanks for your prayers for me…

 

MP & Ron,

Grady & Ted,

Lois, Tom & Jasmin,

You have all kept me from seeing red…

 

I got a new twenty weeks,

That’s five months of unemployment,

Then there will be more extensions, if needed,

The last few months has been a time for me to lament…

 

But you all and more have kept my emotions on an even keel,

As friends, brothers and sisters you are all the real deal,

I still have a part time job, & now Rufuz & I can eat more meals,

And if it wasn’t for you all & others not mentioned,

I might have done myself in, by slipping on a banana peel…;-)

ED - GREAT NEWS - and good write!

and, as you can see, everyone is still pulling for you - think of the JOHN DENVER LYRICS -

"SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDER MAKES ME HAPPY ..."

a kick in the arse from an old BOOT -
sometimes helps an ole COOT -
to get pep back in his FOOT-
'cause we all do give a HOOT -
now, you'll get more LOOT -
ergo, the question is not MOOT -
as we, for you, do ROOT - ROOT - ROOT -
so, stay up out of the ashes and SOOT -
and give your trusty ole horn a TOOT - TOOT - TOOT!

your long-winded friend from Merry-Land ... TKH.

Oh Ed...this is such great news my friend! Glad the prayers helped...and really happy that you and Rufuz will still be eating awhile longer! Isn't it like they say..... That's what friends are for! Soon the sun will shine and you will be outside enjoying the warmth instead of the cold... hugs, lindalaw

We couldn't love a brother of ours more, even one as ugly as you are!
Like the boys of Livepool say, "you never will walk alone"

Do not do yourself in. Heard on radio today that too many high executives are committing suicide because they cannot hold their firms in the black. They feel it is due to them that they fail and their companies fail and so suicide becomes the answer to them. No that is not the answer. We know it and you know it too. Don't even talk like that, it is going against God. Need to be positive this NY. I lost a friend down here in lobby by trying to be positive and cheer him up. Oh well, one lost and more I do have so no worry there.
