Dear friends,
I'd
not intrude for the living world
upon so valiant an
enterprise as structured verse
when I am but a base
clown playing party tricks;
I wish only to say
"Hello, I'm glad you're here."
And thus Pleasant returns
to silent darkness...

of Kisses!

Money isn't the
answer,
But part of the key.
(2) Rather not
the key.
Virtue and morality,
Good character
traits.
(3) Could they be the key?
Again the
topic du jour
Has been overlooked.

The time is
coming
When you'll surely disappear...
So here
goes nothing
Please forgive me Sir
For being
so very rude
But you trouble me
Do you just
come here
Wander the realms of the Bronze
Simply
to confuse?
I suppose you won't
Respond, this
is so very
unoriginal
Not the first to
ask
Is Yelnif, but why, Sir, don't
You MAKE ANY
SENSE???????

OK, I'll ask you

I see that money is not what you
want.
You seem to have a problem with just
me.
So tell me now what do you see in
me?

Has the standard been
raised?
Are we now supposed to rhyme?
My little
head is dazed...
Set out of rhythm and
time.
And just when I really thought
I'd got
the hang of haiku,
I was again caught short
And
now i don't know what to do...
Tonight I have, on
my hands, some time.
So I will stay, and if
necessary, rhyme.

I see we're going to
start slow
It's difficult to make words
flow.
Perhaps the Oracle could pose a
question.
That would be my humble
suggestion.
