Again, I am fine, just an end of a long day (240 miles) rant...

Trapped… Have you ever felt you were trapped? In a corner, in a cage, in a cell, or a box, Scary feeling, no place to go, Better to order in for some bagels and lox… Felt this way have I of late, Trapped with no money is always my fate, Check didn’t clear, that I really hate, How long must I go on feeling so irate…? Started to be humor, At least that was the rumor, Turned into something totally different, Something more related to the consumer, Now I am not sure, I am totally indifferent… No milk, no bread, little to eat, Rufuz has his; I have more fat to live off of, But he needs his meat, Maybe in the ocean I need to go, with shoes made of concrete…J © ed ~ 10/1/04

I'm hearing your pain, bud! I wish I could share from our cupboard, but too far to ship across country. Prayers to you.

It's time to stop this 'concrete shoes in the ocean' stuff!' Just stop it! Sigh... you want me to break out in hives? Now, then... the picture is hilarious! The poem, no doubt, strikes a familiar chord with everyone, from time to time. I should send you a loaf of my banana bread... that'll cheer you up! (NO... it is NOT similar to concrete!) (grin) katy xox.

I'm starting to think you need to find a new line of work.

Hey! don't talk that way Ed
I am sure Rufuz will share
Plus if you do anything crazy
he'll never forgive you,
he need you.....
now that rat in the gage
he has problems.
"I really hope this is only,
one of your great writes"

Stay Kool brother
William .....peace

Come on now, my friend...
:) As Edwin says what would Rufus do without you?
Keep holding on and never give up!

Yeah?..What would Rufuz do without you then?...Ed you gotta ride it out...Sometimes it ain't easy...but in the end its really up to you...get mad, get motivated, do whatever it takes, so that you don't have to go throught this again. Hope to see you on the brighter side soon!

Merry Christmas...

We all got em''...

The Saggy, Baggy Boobs Blues,

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>

Rain, thunder & lightning, oh my...

Hey, I think I might have found a little humor...?

...NEAT...
