lol. Now I wrote this about 5 years ago and posted it on another web site who decided that this poem needed to be recorded for its tight form and rhyme. Believe me there was no other reason. Any way I am posting it here for some humor. This is a "wa-wa" poem if there ever was one.
Whining Well, here I sit a dateless wonder My entire life I get to ponder Why I can�t find a mate While crazy ideas come out of my pate I seem to always show up late For my very own future fate Is this my eternal destiny That I can�t get anyone to phone me I have even cleaned up my act But no one wants to join me in a pact Of life everlasting in misery Oh, oh, woe is me

Well, what a loada sad-faced spoil-sports! No more pity parties?? That will sure put Ben & Jerry's out of business pdq. Elizabeth, there's always room for pain and the expression of it... valleys of darkness are tunnels to fresh valleys of light and those who refuse the route of burning coals are often just walking in circles, getting nowhere fast... Trust me, it's taken 50 years to learn this! Even smiley peeps need to be allowed to shout and pout, otherwise they'd blow up. Wa-wa and blah-blah leads to ha-ha in this instance! I like! Thanks for posting and keep on the upward and onward path... with the rest of us who trundle the highway of life's ups and downs... What a Happy Band of Pilgrims we surely are! Be well, and bless you, Kate xx

Hey Elizabeth, if your misery needs company, then you just need to ring me up. We could create a slogan, "leave your whining to us" for all the people who prefer to live life sans their own misery. LOL....

Elizabeth,

I like your poem, after reading it a few times it took on an interesting cadence. I sometimes think that words are the means by which we march our feelings out into the world. Left, right, left, right, left...out the door they go. It's much easier to look at them when they're outside.

I enjoy your humor a lot. (I enjoy my share of whining too! :o)

Whine away; I've done more than my share, more than I'd care to admit! Not about dating, as Karla said, but LIFE.

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(
