Super pieces, both of you; and what fun!

Grace, your words brought to mind this harsh scene. Please do not think it is meant as a portrayal of the interchanges here!  It's the words that merely triggered thoughts in my demented brain... and yet a not-so-uncommon picture:

Ohhhhhh’d to a Kiss

his glib shoulder

he rejoined ‘er blew eyes

with his cleaver riposte, smearing

Kiss off.

Kiss off;
Please pause this race.
Slow and steady will work

Just a grace note here, Grace:

Aesop
it is fabled
wrote some good moral stuff;
but who really knows if he’d been
a sop?

Gladly the Cross I’d Bear

Gladly?

[b]Easily confused, young boys Daniel. I speak from experience having had four sons!  :wall:

Very comical. I like!  :rofl:

Glad lay
in bed too long
was five feet six last night
Woke this morning after long stretch
Six nine!

Love

deLightedly heading there myself, shortly, Daniel  

( and looking forward to meeting up with the OTHER Z-man [our own Zeus]  this afternoon [Monday] in North Jersey after a training seminar! )

Good Night to you then Dan,    

I’ve just got up!  

HE is a SHE Dan, Glad being short for GLADYS.

A bed
Strewn with roses
Might please your blued-tongued pal
Sweeten her temper, save my hide
From bites!

Sleep well, and give Zeus a bid hug for me. Go on, force yourself!  

Love

[ Ok, Grace... now you've really got my curiosity going!    Who or what is GLADYS?!    ]

[ I don't have trouble with such things... but I don't know what a bid hug is (Is it an E-Bay thing?), so I gave him a regular one. ]

Hi Dan,  :wave:

Pain de guerre

La douleur D'amour

with wind
tears dry on cheeks
hiding the sharp heartache
I feel, when love is sometimes war
sweet foe
