I have asked you some add-on questions after I have closed the
question and rated your answer.  I want to add a few dollars to cover
this.  Please take this question/answer with my thanx. I wish it were
more but like you, I am a working stiff :)

Hello, Carolyn.

What a kind thing to do! I appreciate your generosity.

I feel uncomfortable taking your money without giving you something in
return, so I'll share with you a poem that I wrote for Mother's Day:

SMALL WONDER (A Tribute to Mothers Everywhere)

The Lord God painted the sunset,
Then hung it against the sky.
His power shattered the great ribbed rocks
To pattern the mountains high.

And you have gathered some rainbow scraps
For a quilt on a worn old bed
In a small, safe circle of hugs and laps,
Where no harsh words are said.

The Lord God measured the oceans out
And numbered each grain of sand;
He snapped His fingers, and galaxies
Came tumbling from His hand.

I praise the Lord for the earth and seas
And the heavens that arch above,
But I end each prayer with a special thanks 
For the gift of a mother's love.

God made the world while lightning played
Beneath the celestial dome;
And, under a low roof, you have made
The miracle of Home.

==================================================

Best wishes always,
pinkfreud

Hello Pink - I am just about to post a question on drinking water.  If
you are around and get this, take a look and take the question. . . if
it interests you.  Happy 4th and God Bless America.  C

Carolyn,

I am a bit under the weather, and my mental acuity isn't up to par,
but I will certainly give your question about drinking water a try.

The Fourth of July is my wedding anniversary (24 years, most of 'em
wonderful years), and my town always has a huge fireworks display over
the river beside my home, so I had a fine Fourth sitting in my yard
enjoying the beauty of the fireworks, basking in the love of my
spouse, and being thankful for the freedom which I try not to take for
granted.

Best Always,
Pink

Thanx fo the beautiful poem. . . what a bonus for me!

I only wish that someone would write a beautiful poem about me ...

Of course, I am too shy to ask.

Dunno about the beautiful bit, but still, how's that? :-)

There was once a young woman called pink,
Who answers lots of questions that stink,
Still she?s always a-smiling
Makin? jokes which?re rhyming,
And delivers them all with a wink!

Have a nice day!

When I have a question
I think, 
Of Pink, 
In a Blink

For an answer that?s not rinky-dink
From Mink
To fixin the sink
From the history of ink
To what makes me blink

I can count on Pink
For the LINK!!

Thanks for the verses! I am tickled Pink! :-D

My favorite customer, schmooz,
Asks questions I cannot refuse.
I see one, I grab it.
It's now quite a habit;
Addictive, but safer than booze.

Sorry probono,

just noticed that comment about the poem was actually from you.

Hmm, will have to think...

Hi, Bathrocks

This is all highly suspicious.

I don't suppose it could be anything to do with Dorothy Parker, could it?

She was an accomplished poet, too, although certainly not up to your standard.

'Bathrocks' starts with 'B' ... just like the mysterious 'Birdie'.

Probonopublico,
He?s a jolly nice fellow.
Dunno if he?s pretty,
Though surely he?s witty,
Comes up with wisecracks in a jiffy!

What can I say, it's hard to rhyme with o's

Brilliant, Bathrocks!

And so quick off the mark.

However, I have never been considered 'pretty' ...

Handsome, Gorgeous, Manly, Virile ...

You have all it takes to become Poet Laureate.

(Provided you bribe the right people.)

Warmest regards

Bryan

As to what rhymes with ?O?
How bout schmoe or CoCo-mo? 
Then there?s coming to blows
The yeses and no?s
And blowing your nose
Your friend and your foe
Your beau and her bow
The stuff that you stow
The things that you sew
The seeds that you sow
And plant with a hoe
The pain and the woe
The high and the low
Its too fast or too slow
The fish and their roe
The boat that you tow 
Or the boat that you row 
The ding on your big toe
You got at the show
Then there?s Santa?s Ho Ho
Or the wizard?s scarecrow

You want any mo?

Dear Carolyn

I am honoured ...

And, yes, please, I want some mo ...

It's VERY addictive!

Many thanks

Bryan
