Pass the Sugar

`Please pass the sugar'. Newspaper blocking his view, `Pass the sugar, please'. He doesn't know if I'm there Or if he talks to the chair.

men, we're all alike. maybe by ignoring you, that is his way of talking to you. Gandhi once said "the strongest words are ones that are not spoken." nevertheless, its not nice to be ignored. great write. thank you, chuck

You know Francine, it is sad that this is so much a reality....Where does the love go? All that, the cats' got her fill of the milk look....where does all that go? Was'nt there true love from the start? It sets one thinking...good write!! Says a lot. Luv Joy (Jew)
