Rob Carmack Poems

I emailed Giorgio (aka Plato) the other day and he is doing fine. Even though he did not tell me to pass on a ‘Hi’ to PS, I know deep down, he wanted to. I know most did not care for his personality, but for some reason, I like him and miss his presence here. I created this blog for anyone that shares my sentiments concerning our lost Plato.

We cannot be sure of what, if any, entity is within Snoopy - that very Snoopy that often accompanies Deb. The plot may thus be much muddled and thickened.

Keith, I don't think it was a typo. I like your theory though, sorta like 'The three ladles of Soup', but multi-dimensional.

Tommy – her response is an anomaly. Perhaps there is no meaning. The more I think about it, the more clever it becomes. Damn, she is good. Even her avatar is completely modular – a warm greeting for all to see, but also laughing at us as we try to determine her intentions. All this without violating any of the Soup’s terms or conditions. She is a very crafty thing.

Deb, clarification please – the ‘!!!’ – does is mean he had his three strikes and he’s out, or does it mean you miss him so much you can’t find the words?

YES, Rob.... I really like Giorgio too! He helped me with my meter, and he was always nice to me. There were some clashing of personalities here at the time ... but I like him, and I wish he had stayed. Thank you for posting this blog, that is so nice of you.

Tranquil, GF = girlfriend. His GF at the time, mistook my rough play with Plato as malicious.

I tried my best to have him stay, but his GF was not a help, and I think she was the final straw. He helped me with meter too. Thanks Rebecca for showing your support.

Plato was well suited, at least in talent, in counter-balancing the established old order of this site. It is good to stir the pot, keeps that film from developing on top.
