A Huge Surprise - Collaboration With Andrea Dietrich

Looking for your twinkling eyes,
I found instead a huge surprise - 
eyes like olive pits 

A fishy smile beneath those eyes,
grey grimace that you can’t disguise-
sardine on a Ritz!

(just Andrea and i playing around with that tail-
rhyme form I am first stanza; She is second.)

gosh, I just saw how you used my name on the title. that was sure sweet of you. I am afraid to try to do anything right now. Have you noticed that if you try to go to soupmail or blogs, you get system error? I sure hope I can at least make comments here tonight. I have lots of catching up to do!! I'll have to thank Dr. Ram for my win over at his poems. CAn you get onto the blogs? I think we'lll have to do mails outside of Soup, FFF. haha. What a name. I bet you are not fat. And I'm just fluffy!
