You really shouldn't paraphrase Falstaff without attribution. |

Everyone, please have some respect for Bob and his poem, and keep your arguments and insults out of this thread.
Bob-
Like all of your other work, I liked this one. It is more of a song than anything, and the flow was nearly perfect for it. The imagery in it was important, but less important than the sentiment. I feel like you stressed that point by keeping the imagery simple. A moving poem.

You showed no disrespect to my work so their's no need to be sorry. You got caught up in the dangling bait of a poison pen. It's best to take there little stings and move on. Your a very graceful young women , no need to beat yourself up.
warmest regards,
bob

who said thieves were dishonest? i can't remember who said it but it has been said that businessmen belong to the only profession which apologises for itself - not even thieves apologise for being thieves

Just a thought, has anyone told Christian that we're "spending too much time on this forum"?
My view is that if we spent more time in honestly doing what this forum was meant for, and less in showcasing our socalled "wit" to make us feel superior, then we'd ALL be better off. Let's not confuse "criticizing" with "trashing"!
