Dr Ram - For the Better Than Gold Contest

He says the nicest, kindest things
And doesn’t know the joy he brings;
A friend to all, the young and old:
Dr Ram’s words are better than gold.

I hope this doesn’t make him blush,
To hear his fellow poets gush;
A comp on him is rather bold:
Dr Ram’s words are better than gold.

His comments brighten any day -
As with you all, I have to say -
When they made you they broke the mould:
All your words are better than gold.

Dr. Ram has added so much to Poetry Soup since he first joined. He enriches our minds with stories of other cultures, mythology and humor. Indeed, they broke the mold when they made him! Best wishes in Joe's contest, Jack. Love, Carolyn
