Threw Me Over the Cliff

Threw Me Over the Cliff Maybe I might drop by for a while Tell incredible stories that could beguile Or at times being truth seeming to say One more great poem for I will pray. How about poem where I took a chance Like the time I tried to make romance To some sweet thing I never knew before Who thought I was being dull and a bore. I even wrote a poem for her to read After we had done the dirty deed And when I went to put on my pants Over at me she took another glance. What would my poem possibly be about? A whale who water out would spout Up into air in ocean near a deserted isle While I was going through a period of denial. It was then that she finally did discover That I preferred and loved another And when of her had taken one last whiff She went and threw me over the cliff. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran

Lol..no it isn't, I've even been to your website, just new avatar...Do you remember the whole name search thing and Exene...LOL. Had some people who see me daily said that the signature what the way they knew it was me. A friend here saw the change on my FB profile and told me I should change here too. didn't know how much confusion it would cause but we really do identify by avatar. Other picture was several years ago.
