Kevin
Best Seller

Very kind of you to say. And I'm flattered you deemed it worthy of a second read and even find it a bit daunting. Anything you can recognize, you can reach. So let there be only inspiration, no crushing. I'll probably sub it at some point, though it'll be a tough sell. Might save it for a collection. Publishing ain't what it used to be back when Faulkner could pull down a good living from shorts. I've sold lots of pieces (mostly, except for SF, for peanuts) but get my best sense of readership on WF.

Oh my gosh, I can totally see her -- that's strange indeed. The picture is still up as my profile picture -- just not my avatar.

Does it add to the story any to know that it's a squirrel that got stuck in my chimney - we managed to save it, but we were late enough that it only ran a few paces, lapped some water from a dish, then died?

Thank you Kevin, I too hate insulting people and sometimes hurt my head thinking of ways to respond that will sound the least offensive, but some people will find almost any excuse to insulted. You make a good observation, I never thought of relating it to old testament.

Re: 'Priceless'
Sorry, it's taken so long to reply. I've been too caught up in discussions.

I think the idea and sentence would be fine if it was worded slightly differently, either shortened or lengthened, so that it's not the same as the advert. Perhaps, 'to see the look on his face would be so valuable, to me, as to be priceless.'

I just think that humor poems should be more obvious, I knew what you were doing though.
