What a "Footle-Flyer" you are Thomas -not an easy write , but well done . I remember when Brian Strand gave this form, an official name many years ago, and great to see such an imaginative collection. Seán

Soup up / full cup. Bright Tom / da bomb. Short poem / hits home. Great job with these, Tom. Yes, I sure did miss the Soup and the daily interchange with such clever people. You nailed these, Tom. Curious though, is it coincidence that you placed "pose nude" next to "hot date"? Out of footles? Toodles! ~ John

Lol, love your comment John, oh I see what you mean, pure coincidence I assure you, complete fiction haha. I see you've got the bug too. Tom
