Notes About The Poem

Note: The first person to send me some paper money, gets to rename this poem! ( And yes I collect worthless old and devalued paper money!!! )

Free Verse

I bought a box of thermometers on sale
When asked how many degrees I have.....
I reply........ many
Too many to even count

When I explained this to a friend.....
He replied you are a very sick man
I smiled and said…… well
I have enough of my own thermometers to tell me that!

I met a woman who is in the army, we dated
She is English and has the rank of Major
I gave her a free thermometer......
Now I have a Major in English degree

This poem you see here is for sale
Written by me, with many degrees
Of witt and humor plain to see
Until you pay me

A Free Verse this shall be

From Politics to Plato and back round again! If you can get a buck out of all the members in your fan club, you'll be able to kick back, relax and write poetry for Soup!
