Are the Best Things In Life Free and Some of My Angels Are On Loan

>Are the best things in life free? By Stanley Russell Harris The new mad Author & Poetry Soup Honourably Mentioned One of my cousin’s on Facebook one day. Said the best things in life are free. Then she wrote a list you see. Well not you, as it was seen by me. I had of course, to reply. Well my writing bug did, I sigh! 1. Hugs! To have a hug that close honey. I need deodorant and that costs money. 2. Raise a smile! For that I must clean my teeth. Toothbrush and paste, they are not cheap. 3. Family! That’s not free. Just think of the mortgage fee. 4. Sleep! Really need a bed for that. They are not cheap. That’s a fact. 5. Kisses! Flowers, chocolates and all that. Leaves my wallet looking flat. 7. Friends! No doubt my turn to treat. Every blinking time at pub we meet. 8. Memories! Now that is the one. Don’t need cash to remember one. That was before all those things I did do. You said were, ‘free,’ you did it’s true. Sadly they were not for me. The seven things you said were free. So that’s all now, you’ll get from me. And all of this, ‘was,’ blinking free. ooo0ooo Some of my Angels are on loan. I say I have four caring for me. Two in the day and night you see. As my cousin was ill, you know. I ordered two, too her go. My cousin later informed me she was okay. her operation done she did say. So my two angels she thanked that day. And bless sent them back yesterday. I sent the following message on Facebook 9-8-15 I have trolled, you have been told. And I don't know what to say. Those angels I did send you know, Are still not back today. Did you tell them to travell by train? I know their wings don't like rain. I checked the air at Felixstowe. Just in case there they did go. Sadly there was no sign of them, you know. You know I am a patient man. Bet they are talking as angels can. Expect they'll turn up, and when they do. I'll tell you when to cover your ears too. As the air here might be blue. Bit like the sky, i'm telling you. Oh yes! Hope you are well soon too. Having released those angels two. I'll clip their wings that's what I'll do. And next time, send my men angels to you. (TMA) As we are both recovering the Angels are on stand by. Well you never really know when, or where they will be needed do you?
