Twas the Night

Twas the night Barbara tagged me, Carolyn tagged her My mind had gone blank, my pen did not stir The paper was bare as it lay on the table Can I continue the tag or am I unable The Poets all huddled by the computer, HG having problems tagging a tutor When what to my wandering mind should appear A great POET to tag Someone that I hold dear, My Brother Ruben Ortellao YOU are Tagged

ok, you're it! I forgot to mention Salty and of course you are invited for dinner :-). I like writing about food and eating it. I also like the word liege. I had to look it up :-) Likewise, Ellen, a kindred soul
