Original and a Response

This poem sure hits home with me;
To write, it took some time.
It proves again as you can see,
That the best ones always rhyme.

Gene Lakin,
My Next Door Neighbor

Like a good beer, it hit the spot
Outside when it had been hot
In my mind together things are meshing
And write this poem which is refreshing.

We did have an afternoon beer. Of course, this was a practical joke with a purpose in mind which was to encourage Gene to Join Poetry Soup. This has to be under 400 characters. Jim Horn
