A Tribute To David Mchattie

There's a poet on the Soup, and his surname's McHattie
   First name's David and his poems are natty
Well, 'natty' does an injustice to his masterful works of art
   He blends message and expression into one seamless part

Please give him a try; you won't be disappointed
   In fact you might feel, as I do, that McHattie be anointed
As the 'King of Poets' --- Prince, Duke or Earl at worst
   Read his April 29 entry, "The Pig and the Horse" first

Ha, he is truly a great one; he must be flattered.

Yes, just great! When you say that 'he must be flattered,' you are right--only maybe in a different way than you meant it. I.e., it is on us to flatter him. He must be flattered; he must be supported! Thanks for this, M.L. Best wishes, Gershon

Hope you've read David by now. For such an amazing poet, he gets relatively little support. Thanks for this, Richard! :) gw

Wow. Where do I send the check? I am blushing with all the false modesty I can Muster. Stay frosty my friend.

Money orders only, I'm afraid, to: Volkov Charities, c/o Colluding Russian Oligarchs, 1 Putin Way, Moscow, IN 46279... David, that poem deserves every word I've written, and more. I can't get over it. Wonderful! Blessings, Gershon
