Without Voice Inflections

It's strange how some events in our lives Can drive us straight to the edge of the precipice And then how little it takes to bring us back Just a word from that special someone we hadn't heard from And assumed we had said something to offend them It happened to me just recently I was in a major funk then finally heard why My silly attempt at humour had offended this sweetheart We must always be careful of what we say Especially through email or Soup Mail Can easily be misunderstood without the voice inflections That a face to face conversation creates I am so so sorry that my lame attempt at humour Created this rift... I have learned my lesson

It only takes one word Jack, but sometimes folks misinterpret what you meant. I know you wouldn't offend anyone. Tom
