diddly-squat

if, in your manner and in

your thought,

 

’tis virtue you had sought

ill-got,

 

the devil may’ve cared

diddly-squat

 

how you fared—

or not.

clever

On Your Wonderful Picture

I know I've commented on it before, but I would like to add that I think it's the No. 1, A-OK profile picture on this whole site. My congratulations. I do hope you paid the artist well. And perhaps a hefty tip besides? Yours as usual, Chuckles PS: I've come to love and respect your talent for spur-of-the-moment rhyming comments.

Good

You really remind me of Emily Dickinson. That is a definitely a good thing--only a more male voice, naturally. Very neatly done.

Emily was insane, is why she wrote from a true poetic heart, this poem here, I beg to differ...has other purposes for its write.
