You definitely know how to cure sadness! I wanted to let you know I wrote a poem dedicated to you and many others on the soup. I hope it warms your heart and puts a smile on your face, as your poems do for me. Love you so much Jack! The poem is called "You Know". <3 Always, Laura

I think Spring and all it's sunshine got into your brain and affected it... Hence the Limmericks... Are you talking in Limmericks too? (Dragon wants to know).

I never could write a decent Limeick; I think you're pretty gifted at it, though.

Stop looking up words in the dictionary Jack, you're beginning to confuse me. I looked it up Jack, and you are certainly not a neophyte. Lovely limerick Jack. I thought the cold would've affected you by now, but i guess you must have a good heater....kind regards----John

I knew the word "neophyte" but had to look it up for the spelling! LOL It's finally started to warm up a bit... averaging 60sF finally! Our summers get quite sweltering sometimes but I'm sure not as hot as yours!!! Have a great day my good friend! - Jack
