Ha ha is what it claims to be.

I wish I could spend all day and write and read, but unfortunately due to no-one paying me for it I have to support office peoples PCs for the bills.

It's a rush job as I'm just out the door on my way home. I hope anyone gets a tenth of the enjoyment I get reading your works as I get from reading all of yours.

Home time Cool

I thought I’d write a lazy poem
Cause tonight I’m working late
All around me friends are going
Whilst I still have to wait
 
My fault I ‘spose for strolling in
At such time (t’was nearly dinner)
But you lot kept me up last night
Reading your words as they’re winners

My works reviews give me quiet pride
But I can’t reply to all
Cause whilst I’m writing mine (I confide)
and reading your stories tall…
…I can’t read all your works all night
For then I’d never sleep
And the quality warrants attention alright
For all your waters run deep

I read the beginners just like me
and try to offer hope
but I’m no expert plain to see
and find it hard to cope.

Look at the Taliskers, the Phil’s and their ilk
Pages ne’er ending it seems
They surely learned literature as mothers milk
To write so well; I only dream

Lillabetx, Ellipinnock, Cliftown et al
I wonder at your generosity
With Bottleblondesurfer, Josie, Espiral
Your reviews demand reciprocity!

Givitsum, Morley, RiLie and others
Thank you from my every pore
Bagheera and Sara literary brothers
You reviews make me want more and more.

Leo I thank thee, and for no1butclo
I too would write a love rhyme
But old enough t’ be your dad you know
And Taliskers “Cloe’s” sublime!

So thank you all for all your criticisms
your comments, laughter and glee
Thanks for your honesty, thoughts'n'witticisms
Thank you from the novice Tenchi

Me too. I always try to catch up of an evening. I even feel a bit guilty when I'm a bit behind with my reading - as I am now with short stories. So much to read, so little time to do it. I'll say this for GW: I've saved a fortune not buying anywhere near as many books since I joined. 
 
Enjoyed. 
 
All the best, 
 
Phil.
What no mention of me?
