Your talents will impress them and they will ask for more. Be careful with the poetry though...perhaps just a rose from you would be enough. " Only a rose I give you." -- from the musical " Rose Marie ". Just think of all the girls here on alt.ascii-art who already admire you and you haven't sent any of them any roses. Or have you... privately...by email? Hmmm. And...you are already in the voluptuous Veronica's chatroom. :-) =================================================================== The Rose =================================================================== . . ... :``..': Some say love it is the river : ````.' :''::' that drowns the tender reed. ..:.. : .'' : Some say love it is a razor ``. `: .' : that leaves your soul to bleed. : : : : Some say love it is a hunger : : : : an endless aching need. : : : : I say love it is a flower : : :..''''``::. and you, its only seed. : ...:..' .'' .' .' .::::' It's the heart afraid of breaking :..'''``::::::: that never learns to dance.
