So I can laugh, while you cry

    HI, Carol,,, no no,,, you can not call me Linda,,, than is only for the boring poets, and the men, who do not like the name PD, and the women who can not approach my poet name.... You are not boring at all... I'm kidding you can call me Linda, if it makes you feel comfortable. Anyways, I'm not suppose to early read, but,, you caught me peeking,, and i love this...love PD (did you get my soup-mail)
