Are you trying to tell something here? Don't you like my poetry? <g>

[the lousy poet]

   I've always thought that poetry
   Just wasn't my cup of tea.
   But I'm not doing that bad,
   Have I gone suddenly mad?

   I've got the hang of it now
   And would surely make some more
   If I wasn't afraid you'd say "Aw!
   He is such a bore"

I could't possibly start sending roses to "all the girls on a.a.a who
admire me" (please Colin send me a list), I'd be too afraid that Sandra
would terminate our internet account.
She already gives me that strange look when I'm in Veronica's chatroom.

The song above (The Rose) is by Amanda McBroom. Bette Midler sings it
in Mark Rydell's exellent movie: The Rose (1979)
See, I'm a fan of Bette Midler   :)
