Three Cheers For P-Soup

My friends on P-Soup are loyal and true

Every morning I rush to my computer

To read all their happy upbeat comments

And suddenly the sun breaks through the clouds

At times, I must admit I have thought of leaving

When everyday trials cloud my vision

But then I quickly come to my senses

I would certainly have withdrawal symptoms

Similar to those folks abstaining from alcohol

I would have to join “Poets Anonymous” for help

To get me through the difficult and trying times

Without the aid of friends and family

I'd be a broken man aimlessly wandering the streets

As I sit here writing, I am convinced

This will never ever come to pass

Alright, I'll admit it... I'm obsessed

There! I feel much better now

Admitting I have a problem is half the battle

So it seems I'll be here for the foreseeable future

Thank you all my dear friends

And three cheers for P-Soup!

"winter", that's a BAD BAD word you just uttered! LOL However, the current severe heat wave we've been hit with was really extreme and finally today, it's finally getting back down to more moderate temps! In the last week or so, there have been over 30 heat-related deaths! Sad!
