What the Spring Sprung

Tonight I thought passion would bring
But not in the shape of a bed spring
The very moment I peaked
I felt what was breached
Now I am so very hampered in upswing

That's a riot, James! "Hampered in your upswing" is a witty way to describe it. I've been away for a while but am back now. Sorry I missed so much, but I needed a break. Still having some health problems -- heart and nerve disorders. Will learn more after the EKG on May 5. Love, Carolyn
