Forever Bachelors Larry and Harry

Larry and Harry spend nights at a bar

Neither have a job or even a car

     Drunken Larry burps freely

     Harry gropes touchy/feely

That these two are unmarried is bizarre

haha, a cute tongue in cheek one. And a very belated congrats to you. I just saw a poem you did with Paul C. and wanted to come and see if you were still around here. Miss you. I hope you are ok . Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving. Your poem about that castle in England was beautiful.

Carolyn, you may not remember me, but I wrote on the soup long ago. I hope all is well with you I had to stop writing when I had an accident in or 2011, as I was bedridden and did not have access to a laptop. I was listed at that time as Nonesoninlaw@hotmail.com . Since I was not writing, many of my Emails went down and I lost much of my writing. I was wondering if you knew of any way to recoup my original poems posted on the Soup. I have asked about one on the forum, but no answers. Ideas??

Yes, odd bout those two, or is it queer. Just realized Michigan is playing Brigham Young today. That should be one helluva game. BYU is alays tough. Love, daver

Hi, Carolyn. You may not remember me, but I haven't been on a computer in several years. Since I have a new one, you may see me pop up on the Soup again. Good to see that you're still writing with style. They said that I would be on the featured group this week. I'm still having some trouble adjusting to all the new tech, but I'll be watching for your poems. Happy (belated) Birthday! Dan

LOL You know, I had the same thought about the movie. I'm sorry I haven't been around lately. My sister is quite ill.

Carolyn, congratulations on receiving Honorable Mention in Catie's L & H contest. Your limerick made me smile and caused me to ask the same question you ask in the closing line.
