What IS It

  
        ‘Parsimonious’ is
         not necessarily odious

        Though not considered felonious
        it certainly is not melodious  

        Call it what it is ~ inharmonious

It could be about me.? Is it a dedication.? Oh my oh fie..I must admit I just stuck that in there for rhyme..How Have you been? Whats cooking away.? Are your glasses rose tinted.? I gather Nay..( At such a juncture i must admit i Have yet not ripped off any.' Which is Anti-climatic a bit.' But never fear G W Just go by a pair..' and an apple if needs Be' what rhyme mastery i dare' but back To the specs see. If you'd just polish certainly any rose..That way it'll Be a clean swipe.? Er sweep

A happy new year btw..When it is noted..Voted ir whatever and jyst get some cheap glasses there are strange carachters around i heasay ? There is one you hardlt ever see.' And He has two others that go round with him..Used to be you could not even say His name.' And he was going to kill Moshe work that one Out.'

Yep, I agree. Is it just me, or the amount of in-your-face adds on Soup are really interfering with the enjoyment of poetry? Won't let me use my add blocker anymore. I paid to be a member to enjoy poetry, not to have a place to see adds in my face all the time. At least put them to one side of the page, Soup. And not plastered between poems and comments. Just a suggestion. Am I being too sensitive, unreasonable? Ungrateful for the advertising privilege. Then I apologize.
