Vacation Time

The doc says I need a vacation
My energy just can't be rationed
Seems there's been some depletion
  leading to get-up-and-go secretion

He told me to take a few weeks
Get rid of those brain-draining leaks
Stop pushing myself so darn hard
  to become a real-life bard

So, as I bid you all adieu for a while
I hope to do up my time off in style
Ask the Missus what needs to be done
  deferring to her whip and her gun


      ~ I'll miss you, Soupers! ~
            See you in a while*




*Will be checking Soup mail, however

Always defer to a lady with a whip and gun. Words to live by. Have fun!

You will be missed. When you get back you will have to write about the whip and gun. Will there be leather and a pair of stilettos in the story?

"Deferring to her whip and her gun," Wow! Better give the Missus a hand. We'll be here when you return, Gershon. By all means, get the rest you need! Hugs, Carolyn

Gershon, take the time you need to rejuvenate my friend. I am doing the same until inspiration returns. I have only written one poem in seven months. I will miss you and look forward to your return. Take care and God bless. xxoo
