For L Milton Hankins Eyes Only: Oh Go On Then

Dear Milt, I said I would... * The eager young man was a loner Too timid to ask out Ramona That outrageous flirt Hitched up her short skirt He’s now got an enormous, er, um... AHA!.. Desire to phone her??? * What do you reckon? Poet Laureate? Knighthood? Fame? Fortune? Hmmm... who organises those stars in the sidewalk? Terry

So......I take full credit for "the word" he didn't use! Or, did he just blame me for it???? No, it was entirely my doing!

Hi Jan, I started a fake limerick in a comment to Milt and then thought, ‘Why not write it’. Making it for Milt’s eyes only was a deliberate hook. Thanks for stopping by. Terry

My parents saw fit to christen me plain ‘Terry’ so that Liz will get a flea in her ear if she gets it wrong. Just who does she think she is? ;-) Terrence... I mean... Terry

I'll call them and make an appointment for your handprints right away! What's wrong with "boner?" Would it have been censured? It's a perfectly good word used every day by fourteen-year-olds! Now that you've said it's for my eyes only, every PSer will read it. LOL

I just felt it was more amusing to guide the reader to think ‘boner’ for themselves. Maybe it’s just my sense of humour. A while back soup was telling me my poem was posted but it wasn’t appearing. So I experimented with a note titled ‘Do Not Read’. It was read by about 40 people in five minutes. Humans huh?
