An Open Letter To All My Poetry Soup Pals

This community should only control Congress, the sh_t would stop flyin, the politicos stop lyin'.....You guys are great... To Wilfredo Derequito; thanks, buddy, you're right, I am too old- but I'm still one dam_ good rockin' musician!! Besides, have you seen a recent picture of Mick Jagger? I seen mummies that looked younger. And, I sympathize (along with the devil)...how you got to that 19th Nervous Breakdown....I mean, all those years of un-Derequito'd love, gotta take it's toll...ha,ha. Best regards, buddy,....tom and to Shar...you are so sweet a person, but I gotta admit I got back 100 times the love and satisfaction from my Dad...he even taught me to love music of the 30's and 40's, and he often jammed with my band (harmonica- he was the best!!) He was not only my father, but my best friend, my bar-buddy, my assistant cook, and my confidant....( I am an excellent cook...)...he brought me more joy than I can relate....I was the lucky one.... which made losing him (a year long struggle that greatly tested my ability to "hang-in there") and to Chrisy...hi sweetie, so glad to hear from you...God Bless Later, dudes and dudettes......tom
