Yup. Silence is golden.
I heard that somewhere.

Thanks John, but the competition was just too stiff for my effort.
Incidentally, it would be nice to know how many times we get pinned because I got bupkus in votes.

Why is it you always have better stories than I. Especially when I probably have at least 25 years on you. I always thought that I had led an eventful life.

This poem refers to a period early on that demonstrated the fear of rejection that terrorized young teens. But I learned early on that girls loved guys who could dance. Since I loved girls, I went on a mission to "be all I could be" by learning how to dance. I became the Gene Kelly of the dance floor. The girls came to me to ask me to dance! Boy I miss those days! Now I can barely walk.
By the way, my wife hated the poem, especially the part about stopping to pass gas. She's a good woman, but an ivory princess who wouldn't say "shit" if she had a mouthful. She said, "Well I guess it's a guy thing". Duhhh!
Oh well, on to the next contest.
Good job this month My Brother!

Thanks so much!

I fully understand your plight. I believe people should be allowed to choose there own way. As long as they don't try to shove it down my throat.

Thanks for your vision Arie. I believe people should be able to be what they CHOOSE to be, as long as they don't try to SHOVE it down my throat.

I made mention to his baby blue eyes. For that reason, I named him Frankie. Something the youngsters today can't relate to.

Thanks Susan. That's really sweet of you! I do think your exuberance may have gotten a slight boost from an adult beverage.

Congratulations Debra. This paints an exquisite picture of a lovely lady. The imagery is first rate.

I absolutely knew you had written this one when I read it. I have grown to recognize your style, and I love it! Keep up the good work

It's really nice to see you recognized again. Your talent has not gone unnoticed. Congrats!! Remind me not to get on your wrong side.

Man! It was a hard choice this month. Yours was very nearly my top pick. We'll done indeed.

Well done old friend! It's about time you were awarded again for your mastery of rhyme and meter. But I was unaware of your plight. You have obviously PREVAILED!

You did it again! This was one of my favorites. Quite an accomplishment since there were some GREAT ones this month.
