Indeed I do...
...the nicest part about being a consultant is that I can manage my time and energy as the needs of the moment demand. How I decide what those ''needs'' are is my business alone. For the record, I do believe in absolute ethical values that transcend human likes and dislikes, but that doesn't mean my worldview is painted in black and white or even ...

Walking tightropes is my specialty, cherie...
...which is preferable to my getting angry at someone like I sometimes used to, believe me. Yes, I saw that response you wrote elsewhere. But C/t, didn't MaryAnn just ask NoStar ''why didn't you tell me writing limericks was so easy?'' (It really isn't, but she'll catch on.) That doesn't sound to me like someone who can't and won't write poems at ...

Why not respect MA's alleged wishes?
Because I think she underestimates herself as a potential poet for no good reason. Let me give you an analogy. There are a lot of pretty decent musicians out there (my late mother having been one of them) who are ''tone deaf'', requiring the backup of an instrument to stay on pitch. I don't have that problem; I'm my own pitch pipe. It's other ...

Having said that...

But C/t., it was a START...
...and maybe that's what's important? NoStar's recent chain limericks were the best I've ever seen from him, and considering what he's done heretofore, that's really saying something. But for whatever reason, MaryAnn is still new at writing poetry of any kind, and her way of thinking seems more geared toward a particular kind of analysis. With ...

Re: For no one in particular
denny: Perhaps Anonimous Poster believes that only they are smart enough to understand what they are saying, and only they are capable of providng an intelligent response - or knot. Why, Denny...are you calling someone who acts like that a knothead? Wouldn't put it past you. :P ENFP to ENTP: I appreciate calling a spade a spade as well as ...

Re: Too many "H"s - to both
denny: ''Oh, love me, yes, love me!'' he pleads.This man is a sinkhold of needs!He takes and he takes;These lusts he can't shake.His words? Just as bad as his deeds!'' d;-) I didn't want to tamper too much with the original. Your edition? I like. But where's the original poete? wr ()()

Re: From the female point of view:
Contempo: And another: ''Oh love me, do love me,'' he pleads the man is a sinkhole of needs he takes & he takes his lusts, he can't shake His words just as bad as his deeds. Just the slightest modification (for the sake of the rhythmic accent) is suggested here: ''Oh, love me, yes, love me!'' he pleads.This man is a sinkhold of ...

Re: From the female point of view:
Oh, I LIKE this, C/t. Just the sort of dismissal that an ENFP gone bad needs: one that reminds him that he isn't the wonderful person he so readily thinks he is. Let's see. ''Bellow''? Maybe I can do something with that... ''Why, darlin', I do know that fellow;He thinks he's so charming and mellow.I dated him twice.He wasn't that nice;When ...
