Inspired by a intriguing comment Caren Krutsinger made on my limerick, "Eating like a vegan," posted May 20, 2019...

We used to give the President and the Presidency the benefit of the doubt Now we doubt there's any benefit to the President or the Presidency

That is the ambiguous fallout when conveying your thoughts in the middle of talking on the phone, supposedly, another thought came to mind (phone answered 'la-di-la-di-la-di') and voila, a guffaw--should have started, "Genius verse..."--my bad, mine's is worst than David's, 'went' instead of 'want', Aloha wk

Always thought 'ingenious' meant 'not genius.' And I'm certainly not a genius (!), although this poem may be, as you say, 'ingenious.' Thanks for the positivity, wk. Aloha, gw

It's truly an honor for me that you both view AND comment on my meager pen. Thank you, my friend. Deeply appreciated. Best wishes, Gershon

I remember watching a movie "Cromwell' where he was giving the Lords crap for profiting from their power. He was told that was the only reason to be in power was to profit by it. That is why Trump drives everyone nuts, he doesn't need anything. They went their power and their profit back. Have a great day my friend.

To the Moon, Alice! To the Moon. Ah, Gleason was an all-time, all-time FAVE comedian... Thank you so much for your nostalgic comment. Really brings the memories flooding back ~ A Honeymooner Addict
