    Deep Blue Sassafras

    You never left
    as another day passes.

    Your love
    my love
    continues.

    You sleep
    or you wander,
    depending on the chosen myth.

    But those
    deep blue flowers in a box
    the color of your eyes.

    The deep blue flowers
    I found blooming
    in the lumber yard.


    I brought them to you
    that summer morning in 1982.

    The flowers
    that smelled like sassafras.

    Like you,
    never leave my thoughts
    day in, day out.

    Short sweet to the point..well written

    Ah, the days before the five year flame war.

    I found blooming
    in the lumber yard.


    I brought them to you
    that summer morning in 1982.

    The flowers
    that smelled like sassafras.

    Like you,
    never leave my thoughts
    day in, day out.

    So you're still stalking and obsessing over my son, NancyGene?

    You're the one who dragged Clay into Usenet, Dreckster. The filthy

    PJR :-)

    Since it was the Donkey who dragged his son into Usenet, how are we
    of the "filthy stalking scum" faction stalking him?

    Will Donkey wants the publicity on his own terms. Who would know
    anything about Donkey and his equine family if it weren't for him?

    Further, if we are stalking him with Will's "coรถperation" [sic],
    how does it qualify as "stalking"?

    We don't have to follow PJR's rules anyway. He is not the arbiter of
    what goes on here or there or anywhere.


    Your intelligence really is diminishing in your dotage, Peter. On
    second thought, I don't ever recall you as having been exceptionally
    bright... more a pretentious poseur whose self-touted reputation
    preceded him.

    We agree. PJR pops into AAPC once in a while, declares what should
    be or not be, and then leaves. His recent posts were uninteresting,
    uninspired and dull. If he had nothing to say, he should have stayed
    gone.

    True, PJR left surprisingly quickly this time.

    Bray louder, Douchebag.
