Tribute To the Taz Et Al

Hail friend and fellow well met!
Are ye inspired yet Taz?
Are ye ready to post one yet?
With your usual pizzazz?

Well perhaps if we goad you,
And your boss unloads you,
You’ll both write; you and your love,
If, you know,. push comes to shove. 

So I’m offering a prayer,
For y’all over there,
That you become unwired,
And therefore inspired.

Both of your talents are missed,
And that’s just one of the list,
in the Soup of things that you bring
About which we can sing.

Try to post one once in a while,
Along with your Josh juvenile,
We enjoy your poems and his too,
Now, at least for the time being,
                             .. this poem is through.

A tribute to our Poetry Soup friends, Richard Pickett (Taz)
and Mary Meade Stephenson.

Reads like a dance Robert, the rhyme is so infectious. You always write super good ones and I bet the recipients were thrilled.
