Table For Four Please

I went to the PS Convention. I had a wide open mind. I wasn't sure what to expect or exactly what I would find? The set-up was four at a table. The attendees were all in a tizzy! Nobody knew, who was sitting with who so introductions kept everyone busy. I love all the Soupers I deal with, so picking just three, was a chore! Besides, how can you recognize someone if you've never seen them before? I decided on Larry and Bob. My third choice was Linda-Marie. The guys and I started PS around the same time and Linda-Marie's been so helpful to me. I find Larry's talent, second to none. His range is way out of sight! The point in his poems is so crystal clear and reading them, is such a delight! I chose Bob, for more than Poetry Soup. The reason - let me make clear! We were comrades-in-arms, as the old saying goes, cause we both had an Air Force career. Linda-Marie - what can you say? She's our PS "Belle-of-the-Ball"! She's our Good-Will Ambassadoress! Always at our beck-and-call! These are the three at my table, I regret they got stuck with me. It's Larry and Bob and the gal we all love, our "Sweetheart" Linda-Marie! Our table: Ralph Taylor Larry Belt Bob Hinshaw Linda-Marie the " Sweetheart" of PS

gosh, I rarely hear from Larry here. How do you rate?? If he is the one who does the mother in law jokes, he is sure fun. Robert is a great one to write of and Linda too. CUTE rhymes you made for this contest, Ralph. Good choices!
