A Knock on the Door

    Shaken to the core
      by a knock on the door

    My mood’s not conducive
      to visitors intrusive
      
    Though what else am I here for

Oh bother! Who's that knocking at our door. Me: You get it, Bill. Bill: No, it's your turn. For some reason we don't like unannounced visitors...weren't always that way. Me thinks we're set in our ways :-)

Point well taken, Gershon. We do have to have a purpose to justify our remaining here. Bill

I have a porpoise. Will that do?

You're here for, to open the door -- your caring, tutoring heart has already been accessible to all of us, for many delightful years now. Blessings my friend. Have great writing week!

Ha, ha. You wrote 'tutoring heart.' I read 'tottering heart.' 'Cos that's what I've got...
