"Forgive-me-nots" must be an Oval Office bouquet? Aloha! Rico

Heh heh, heh heh. ;) I am so grateful for my own comparably boring political landscape. xomo

POWERFUL! If not forgiven then it’s the plastic for us! If we don’t forgive then the plastic gets inside of us. Amazing what you did here. I’m stunned and it’s the second time this week that I’m forced to think about letting go of a sharp arrow. I also see the humor in this so you got us with both extremes. Good one.

Thank you Edlynn! The humor and the horror, they do go so well together. ;) xomo!

I don't even want plastic flowers when I die Mo - forget me nots are very apt for remembrance:-) hugs Jan xx

Here I am goofing around and Maureen you are writing profound pieces of art. In some ways I've seen too much but not enough; so life is still a folly to me. I read your poems in wonder. Thanks for your words.

Humour, it is so true that laughter is the best medicine. You certainly apply that kind of poultice with your words. Maureen, with that kind of wit, you have to love to eat lots of garlic.

Me, just goofing around with apparently profound results ;) ...a sense of humour, is essential for survival. Thank you for your kind words Jeff, always. xomo
