Twenty Titles of Fabulous Friends

Tell me how did we get here at a swishing swapping party? (The voices echo in emptiness) Bubbly cheerful and happy, naked and raw forever bachelors Larry and Harry, and the hot mom and the pool boy go flash dancing with dawn! Be warned, winkydinks I had a Martini: ok, maybe four I don't accept or understand the drunken Socrates and his ouzo - he’s the beast with eyes too kind! What was it like back then ... on being offered cheese as a dessert - my blue cheese is a dark, reddish brown ... Did you know Hell hath no donuts ! 20 Titles From 20 Friends Poetry Contest Sponsored by Richard Lamoureux 7/18/19 Titles Used - Tell Me - Poem by Ilene Bauer How Did We Get Here D M Babbit at ‘A Swishing Swapping Party’ by Paul Callus The Voices Echo in Emptiness by Eve Roper Bubbly Cheerful And Happy by Anne-lise Andresen Naked And Raw by Maurice Yvonne Forever Bachelors Larry and Harry by Carolyn Devonshire The Hot Mom and The Pool Boy by Tim Smith Flash dancing with dawn! by Connie Marcum Wong Be warned, winkydinks by Gershon Wolf I Had a Martini: Ok, Maybe Four by Lin Lane I Don't Accept or Understand by Dear Heart The Drunken… by Pashang Salehi Socrates and his Ouzo by Arthur Vaso The Beast with Eyes Too Kind by Andrea Dietrich What was it like back then by Curtis Moorman On being offered cheese as a dessert by Nina Parmenter My Blue Cheese is a Dark, Reddish Brown by Mike Gentile Did you Know by Alexis Y Hell Hath No Donuts by Michelle Faulkner

Jan, unless I responded to you by Soup Mail - and I don't see where I did - I am at a loss as to why I see no response of any kind anywhere. To be so honored by you as you have done, I am humbled and flattered to be a part of this wonderful tribute. Thank you, belatedly, from the bottom of my heart. You, my dear friend, are an amazing lady and it is evident that we all love you. God Bless you!
