Thanks, Terry. I try to write them every once in a while, but the ones that come to my mind are more likely to be appreciated at a bachelor party. LOL Thinking like I was 30 again. After the second childhood, maybe it's natural to have a second "teen" hood. LOL Have a great week! Bill

Maybe next time, Mr Backstreets Tally, will have enough gas to ride through Death Valley. Hmm, not if he's bad at math. Future prediction: I don't see him getting very far. Your thoughts bring a smile, Bill. :) Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
