The image of poor Glennie comes so vivid to mind, Len. Perhaps I ought not to laugh about it...I'm also sorry for her. I know what you mean about putting shoes away for a long time, which tends to happen...I've had the displeasure of experiencing!! ~ Best regards, my friend // paul

I think so my dear friend Paul. This poem is a fiction but so similar to what happened to me last Oct. 13. I felt sorry for myself for this experience however it sounds funny sometimes to me and to my friends to whome I've relayed the story. Was so grateful that nobody took photo of me ha ha ha. Thanks for reading my poem and your kind words. Thank you again and God bless to you my friend. Hugs
