She Saved My Ivy

My ivy plant was dying She took it home - nursed it back to health Having neglected the plant for a number of weeks I thought it was a "goner" But now it is growing up towards the sun Overhanging the sides of its pot It is a living, green testament to life

SHE did a nice job for you, Matt, And HEY, how could you forget I am in education too. Don't you remember our conversations about ESL? Yes, I work in a small private adult school but I don't have health insurance or pension (maybe you don't either?) Remember, I am in Utah and sometimes we chat about Lord of the Rings and other things!

Hi Andrea No, I don't have insurance from my job - but I have it through the U.S. government - a very small pension. At my job there are students form all over the place - Albanians, Israelis, Russians, Mexcicans, Haitians and a lot of Dominicans. ESL is interesting - isn't it? The SHE is my former girlfriend - she is Chinese and i am Jewish and we parted ways eventually. I am dating someone else now - her mother taught ESL.
