Come On Over

Where you from? Do you know Jim? Of course I do. He's a nice guy too. What do you do? -- You say you're a teacher? Well, we need a good teacher. Yes, we do. Married with kids? -- That's nice to hear. Come on over with the Missus; we'll have a few beers You say you don't drink? You don't like football? -- Sure nice to meet you. I'll give you a call...

That's fabulous, Gershon. I love it. Men like things simple. I'm obviously not that bright, it took me a long time to figure for myself the brilliant message between these few lines. Brilliant, Gershon. A FAVE for me.

Aw, c'mon, Line. I won't permit anyone criticizing my friend and fellow poet, Line Gauthier! (And 'brightness' is what society narrowly restricts to 'critical thinking.'... E.g., I'm just in awe of your 'Shape' poems. I can't see things the way you do. But 'artistic seeing' is not valued as 'brightness.' Bah Humbug!)… At any rate, thank you so much for the FAVE. Yours truly, Gershon

Hope you haven't had to bear the brunt of the rejection, Michelle! Smiles, Gershon

Doesn't sound like the life of the party to me. : ) Fun one my friend.

This oddball may well be the death of many a party---but he'll be the center of attention at the 'Life After Death' parties, no doubt! LOL. Thanks, Chris. ~ Gershon
