You brat! This is one creative 'gotcha', gave me a grin, but you are a brat because I have to go all the way to your page NUMBER THREE to catch up on your work where I left off. Now, how am I to do that? One chunk at a time, no other way, huh? Otherwise, someone would have to dust me off and water me every now and then. Good to read you again, be entertained and amused by you again. Love ... CayCay

Hey Jan, the Soup would loose a wonderful ingredient if you decided to pull yourself from it's recipe. I'm very sure that many are so so happy you'll always be around, hugs - James xx

Aww James I will never ever leave soup it is my home now - some may not like my style but hey ho there is plenty of room in the soup kitchen and my poop is here to stay:-) Love to you both my friend, I hope you are both well. I still remember being asked to record a message for your wedding and it was a real honour that Olive Eloisa bestowed on me - she is such a gorgeous lady you are so so lucky to have found such love on soup:-) hugs jan xx

Hi, Jan. I was researching footle poems so I could write them, and this was the first one I looked at. I have read many of your other poems. I am glad to hear you are not leaving, because i love your poetry. It really has meaning to me. You fooled me at first-- you're such a trickster. Thank you for the ending though. I love it that you are not leaving. Thank you so much!!!!!!

I adore the footle form Ivee it was created by a poet on soup called Brian Strand. I love the fact so much humour can be shown in just 4 syllables:-) hugs Jan xx

Very funny April Fools. I'm glad you're staying. And thank you for your beautiful coming through my poetry. I know I haven't read my comments in a while I have been working on a book that is about to come out soon. Keep an eye out for it it's called Psalms of Humidity. It is a book that should not exist.
