Tea time

If you thought it kind, or perhaps naught I'd write you a fine sonnet. If it please'd I beg, on bended knee a spirited song, or dutiful etheree.. Alas a fly in pudding lies, a mote in sorrow'd eye a snag in all best laid plans.. Tea time's nigh, so come sit beside and hold my hand.

a lovely poem, Richard. Thought the title was perfect as was the last verse.

Charlie, Your name is apt for this season. Least the way I see fit to remember it. But thanks just the same. And this one, 2023. You cross the finish line of another year, race run, wondering if you got anywhere. Looking back for all those that were just behind me, still didn't quite make it. So much in life. -Richard

Lol. I was a minor star in Chicago. I was part of the Second City Impov Theater. Moved on to do stand up comedy. I never did one liners.., i just talked about my life….people asked me, who my writer,”was,roflmao. I love performing over writing. It’s such a rush! OMG. I never used obscenity!. My best friend was aPulitzerPrize winner, wow,,,what a humble man, he’s known internationally.! Pangie

Hi Panagiota, it's so nice to hear from a favorite artist. Chicago is missing a star somewhere methinks. -Richard
