To Robert Pettit

his pen left me struck,
that sharpened sarcastic nib...
tempered with humor

Deb, I am honored by this poetic tribute! I am especially appreciative since I have not been posting on this site for very long. I hope to get to know you and everybody else on this site a lot better in a short amount of time. Thank you very much!
