I do not know which is more fun - the poem or the comments. See Andreas? Ditto hers.

well U never know ... tried tickling a girl's brain once. (By the way, JAN is on the FART theme as I am today). I didnt use all my gas and ammo when you did FART FLACK. Today's the day for Fart Attack (I dared ask if Jesus farted blessings)?

It can be wish to laugh, if feeling sad (enough to pick one up just a tad). Can profundity be found in a giggle and a tease? Can a clever jest bring one to your knees? Pigeon Tart says, "Wisdom is rarely gained with a tickle." Timothy Hicks rebuts, "Oh if only I had a nickel..."

My first dog had inhuman wisdom. She could read an intent to tickle.

You tickle my fancy my friend, xomo!

Perhaps you could start with a test tickle? Two test tickles might not result in wisdom but have been known to reduce boredom. ;0)

And you wise up pretty quickly to who's going to tickle you. Just reminded of my ex sneaking up behind me for a tickle while I had two spatulas in my hands transferring lasagna, he got one square between the eyes! D'oh! Left a scar ;), xomo!
