Why I Can't Read

     Once I thrilled to Homer’s Odyssey
        to his Iliad equally

     ‘Til I hurt my sacroiliac
         ~ and traded literature for TV

Thank goodness! I was just emotionally imprisoned in a very sad write, finally broke out and ran here as fast as I can't, looking for ... what you have here and its already worked. THANK YOU. You don't let me drown or down ... CayCay

Hi Gershon; sad how TV has dumbed-down America. The world.

So sorry you hurt your sacroiliac joint or area. The orthopedic doctor said my joint is completely gone on my right side. Constant pain except when lying back in the recliner to take pressure off. Creative work you have penned. Sara K
