Mr D.'
What no readers for your Poems, how sad! They truly are insightful, funny and at times delightful. Keep it up I'm looking forward to more. I really have to get my daughter to visit your blog one of these days. I especially like the One Voice... would be grat read on stage though short.

Thank you. I think poetry is generally considered slightly un-American. I do enjoy doing them from time to time. I would like to see your daughter reading them sometime too.
