We spent riding in your carriage,
Lacking both lackeys

Phyllis Diller

Phyllis Diller
Had a laugh that was killer.
Funky clothes and crazy hair,
A cigarette holder added flair.

A Lil Tidbit About Phyllis Hyman

How her VOICE, in Our ears like
a bell would be chiming
As she belted out the lyrics like
KANYE be rhyming
To the top of the charts, was she
as a result, climbing
Until, she came to a catastrophic
end like the late Frankie Lymon
Talk about FATE and its having
bad timing
Such was the life of the great,
Phyllis Hyman
(May She, RIP)

To Phyllis Babcock From Kashinath

Phyllis!Phyllis!
Help me outta this!
Tell me how to
write and please you?
P.D. has ordered
'Write on Phyllis,
you must oblige
or will perish!':)
So I googled your name 'Phyllis',
you from Canada,your name from Greece.
I know you are kind and tender,
all these made your pen much sweeter.
Oh,yes!Tell me how is Aaron,
your bundle of joy,little grandson!
For him all my blessings and love,
cell phone

Phyllis

I read today that the root word phil means loving and I thought you were given the right 
name. I know you sit and serve your mother in law as she is in the transition of life to life 
eternal. Remember that we will see her again and she will be free to roam and

Phyllis Is Synonymous

Phyllis with passion
of love not hate
Phyllis with joy
that words can create
Phyllis with love
being more than just kind
Phyllis with happiness
just like wine
Phyllis with compassion
for our fellow man
Phyllis with sympathy
so we will lend a hand
Phyllis with pride
so we will not stand aside
And Phillis with the Holy Spirit
so our God will be near by

Guess What Phyllis, I Tagged You

After reading your comment to Sharon so true
I decided oh yes, I must tag Phyllis to

”Tag game” is about people sharing their heart
It would sure be special if you shared your part

It seems sometimes we just run out of time
Remember when a phone call cost a dime

So did a bottle of soda as a matter

Phyllis, Oh Phyllis

Phyllis, Oh Phyllis 

to my dearest friend Phil

our time together was just one great big thrill

those times that we hung out at the senior citizen's center hall

we socialized with old friends and simply had a ball

the days when we would eat at the same old pizza shop

and over a few slices we would laugh non-stop

Phyllis

When Phyllis canned her peaches
just two months before she died,
She did it for her family,
she'd done it since a bride.

She canned the summer sun for them
and sealed it in a jar.
Next winter when they shared her gift,
she wouldn't seem so far.

She always did her canning when
the fruit had reached its peak,
But this year cancer sapped
