Richard D Seal

There once was a man named SEAL
Whose posts made Orchid just squeal
He’d tease and cajole
For he had no soul
But still, he had an appeal

He gave her many a name
Pushed buttons and felt no shame
She’d give him a slap
He’d give her a clap
The poets laughed at their game

His visits brightened her day
He always knew what to say
He’d make her smile bright
Right after each fight
Then chase her worries away

R Seal, here’s looking at you
If Nell will let you get through
Come leave me a post
Or you will be toast
I’ll feed you my Orchid brew!

this is really charming. So you are Orchid? I am Petal!! hahaha. wonder how he came up with these names? Glad you liked my Thunder poem. Do you think it would be ok to put into that newest contest on native americans? I fear she might not appreciate it.

Hahaha Yes, I guess I had this coming sooner or later, it's better than a slap though lol. I dread to think what this Orchid brew is lol. Thank you for going gently on me Eileen, I know I've teased you relentlessly for a long time now, and thanks for being such fun and taking it the way it's intended. Brightens my day too.
