Oh Woe Is Me

Fell out of bed dis morning
Got up on da right side
Felt something bend
worried I hurt my pride

struggled through the night 
and watched da lights go  dim 
that's when a man's  friend
has got to stand up for him

Do I detect a wee bit of naughtiness here??? Better late than never as the old saying goes, eh! You won't beat will you... hmmm a couple of slaps on my derriere will probably be okay but nothing around the head area! Hugs and love, Jack O Lantern!!! xxzxz

Judy I appreciated the smiles that went along with is poem. Loved it!! Thank you for taking the time to read and leave such a kind comment on my poem, "Furnace of Affliction" I ended up revising it a little since you read it. :) Charlene

Judy, Thank you so much for checking out my poem again. I think poetry soup was having problems because I came to your page and it was blank. I just went to my page and found the poem I wrote with your comment and another girls.

I too like your comment to Contsance. It appears your relationship is bolstered by a mutual sense of humor. I also enjoyed your poem.

I just had to see this one because you used one of the same words I just used in my little poem! Love what you said to Constance down here. I second that emotion!!!

I began this Soup du jour with my engagement picture and then I got sick of looking at it and bought a scanner. So here I am today "wit" my glasses! My husband said, "If I had known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself" to which I quipped, "Yeah and If I had known you were going to live this long I wouldn't have married you!"
