Some of you might remember when i wrote this although to be honest i didn't know the story myself till much later, its really about my daughter
I"m like an M&M
Those little chocolate candies
I have a hard outer shell
I won't melt
In your hands
No matter how fragile i sometimes
Seem
The richness inside me
Won't come oozing out to
Spoil your nice white
Linen
I have a hard outer shell
Words, your words
Can no longer destroy me
They may change my
Outer color
From red to green or blue
But it won't rub off on you
I have an hard outer shell
It may look soft
Maybe even inviting
But don't be fooled for a minute
That sweetness can be decieving
Ask anyone who tried to take a bite
Without
Being properly invited
Do you hear me baby
I have a hard outer shell
I won't melt in your hands
Any more

Sue, I can understand these feelings. But they are so hard to maintain with someone you love. Bill

Hi Sue,
Go on, your just a big softy like the rest of us.-------Morchuis
The Wholly Book of Exodus is humorous adult literature that features adult language, situations and content. It is the companion book of Jay Dubya's The Wholly Book of Genesis that satires the entire first book of the Bible.
The Wholly Book
In a post-coup America, an Illinois farm boy is drawn into the resistance by his brother's death. Captured, he is given a choice: betray his friends, or the girl he loves will be lobotomized.
