Wow, it's a heat seeking missile Always first to blow the whistle Amazingly speedy on the draw Faster than Quick Draw McGraw No poem has the chance to linger Not with that itchy trigger finger Hurry, hurry, no time to wait Gotta get out of the starting gate But the first to cross the finish line is always the winner, Einstein.

You know Lin? Whatever it is about, it's also that feeling of urge a poet can have when writing a poem that feels like a winner, a definitely great one, already in concept. And then the wish to share it with the world NOW instead of letting it simmer for a while and look at it more objectively later.

All seeds one plants, take time, care and love to grow, and there is no shortcut in love or poetry for making things grow! As much as we all wish it wasn't so! :)

I am no quick draw, why I am sure I will show up late for my own funeral! :)

Funeral talk is not allowed here. And being late is fashionable, to a degree. This write is most definitely NOT about you.

Of course you are right, but God only know what the sponsor is thinking(or if they are).

I'm not much for sitting on my fingers, and sometimes I have to slap them to keep from writing something a bit less than subtle. Just writing what's on my mind.

Oh it applies. You know that saying about the early bird catching the worm....someone is always waiting to catch that bird.

I know a couple of self-proclaimed Einstein's. Life's too fast as it is. We need to slow down to enjoy all the little nuances.

Well I am Einstein!!!!!! :)

Being a self-proclaimed Einstein is the epitome of stupidity. Yes, Tim, I agree that time is moving much too quickly so we need to slow down and take a deep breath.
