Notes About The Poem

Tried to write a tribute to the wit and talent of Lindsay Laurie.

Why I wrote his name wrong and called him Lindsay LOHAN  is a mystery even to me.

I'm sorry Lindsay! The devil made me do it!

Oops

A little old lady poet,
Admired another and wanted to show it,
But her praise it wore thin,
At the slip of her pen,
When she mis-spelled his name below it.

She said Oh what have I done!
Others will see and make fun!
She corrected her blunder,
Hoping to put asunder,
The damage her mistake had done.

That is sure cute for my friend Lindsay. This is funny because Lindsay and I loved our nature poetry and it was about a year before I realized Lindsay was a he and not a girl. This made me chuckle. Hope all is well your way. Spring is having a hard time making its mind if it want to come. Have a great week. love phyl

Thanks so much my friend. I really felt stupid when I noticed what I wrote. Hope Lindsay Laurie isn't too insulted. God Bless, JB
