Hello to All! After three months of wrestling with my SICKO puter VOILA! I finally fixed the sucker myself.

Here's a quick little "ditty" I dashed off back in January. Nothing special - just a little "tongue-in-cheek" Brain Dropping.

 


R. I. P.

( Requiescant in Pace )


 


Here lies a man,


who thought he could write,


burned the mid-night oil,


scribbling runes 'til


Dawn's Early Light!


A "Smithy" of words,


that's what he


thought he would be.


ALAS and ALACK !


no publisher found he!

Alas...no matter how good a writer you are, the dance to find a publisher is a crap shoot.

Love the poem.

Alas and alack, your not the only one, maybe we should all open our own publishing business, only printing those that have exhausted all other possibilities...Peace thru Humor, ED & Rufuz
