sponsored by Silent one 11/13/2004  HMS

the person I want to be

                      the person I want to be 

  is certainly not to become ~ some idealistic wannabe 

  but definitely one ~ that pursues a legitimate fantasy 

  hinted a ventriloquist to his puppet ~ lost in soliloquy

Kim Rodrigues Date: 9/13/2024 8:30:00 AM Great humor, David! In a wooden way, he speaks, not the he who has no voice but the puppet! Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 9/13/2024 8:59:00 AM lol! It’s quite possible Kim they are all talking in a wooden way, yet not one word is heard only implied, glad you enjoyed, cheers David

Lin Lane Date: 9/13/2024 6:02:00 AM What a wonderfully novel way to introduce a soliloquy taking place, David! I'm still thinking about the possibility of pursuing a 'legitimate fantasy." Oh, why the heck not? If it's a fantasy, who can say it's not justifiable? Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 9/13/2024 6:44:00 AM Well the puppet certainly won’t object Lin, lol! and if it does, it’s only an idealistic wannabe, a lot of metaphor going on in this one, (who said that?) gotta be the Damn ventriloquist, which is possibly me in soliloquy, cheers David
