Poem -
Delilah
Alas sweet rapture afar
Blest βneath wayward star
Fate nary grants thy grace
Content to gaze lovely face
Fairwind genteel shift
Beseech steadfast adrift
Besot hopelessly springs
Unrequited ardor stings
This jester finds peace
Β Torments beget release
Thou betrothed to another
Bedeviled swiftly suther
Delilah, how erringly I long
Avow thee a love song
Alas, sweet maid, I cannot hold
Thou chaste heart of gold

That was wonderful, but I don't know how someone could unrequitedly not love you. Great write, as usual, my friend. Beautiful words.Β
And so true! That commenter thing. I get like 400 reads, and 2 comments, and 2 likes(from my close friends), and I don't even write well. Imagine if I wrote well, I'd probably get 1 comment and negative 4 likes. lol.Β
Don't worry, the people who love you are who matter. I'm happy to have you and Cheerie, and maybe a few, select nice people sometimes.Β
Stay cool, my friend. You're a fantastic writer.Β

LOL(Losing Our Limbs- that phrase lol actually originated in medieval times when leprosy was running rampant, so I'm not sure why we say it so much now, as leprosy has pretty much been exonerated, but I still enjoy some leprosy).Β
I actually don't wear clothes, but do wear a refrigerator box around my naked body. I think the fad is starting to catch on, too, as I saw a bunch of refrigerators at Walmart wearing just such garments, and they're very stylish.Β

Ha ha(I have everyone fooled) leprosy is still running a muck in less fortunate countries long live the LOL
LOL(Lunching On Legs!...I just ate a quadricep).Β
I was just playing cards with some lepers the other day, but we had to call the game because they all threw their hands in. Ah, lepers, they're crazy.Β
