You know it’s great space/
and place when you whisper words/
and, still, can be heard.

There’s no more Eeyore./
Thistle chomping is passe’./
No more “Oh, bother”.

Alternative ending:
There’s no more Eeyore./
Thistle chomping is passe’./
Funfunfun is in!

Am i an Eeyore?/
Or am i hoping for more/
than someone can give?

Alterntative ending
Am i an Eeyore?/
Or am i hoping for more/
than some want to spend?

“Half way there/
livin’ on a prayer”/
just played:/

Jon’s prayer
for you;/
Your friends hope/
that barbeque/
fuels/
your feet/
to finish.

Of all things I miss,/
who knew Internet access/
would top my short list?

She sent me a text thank you
for my thoughts and prayers,
after she told me to
give her a break.

She said I was too much.
so, as she requested,
I kept out of touch,
and only wished her good luck.

Her text makes me a little sad,
like it was forwarded or sent to many.
Still, I suppose I should be glad
that she would even remember me.

Especially when someone with a George Clooney dose
calls her “Baby” and sends her XXOOs.

Reflection showed I’m/
not the man I thought I was./
I am changing me.

I get it; I’m not a dope./
I’d just gone overboard with hope./
I’ll back away from being intense./
I don’t want appear 2 dense./
And absence can always help 1 cope.

Alternative Limerick
I get it; I’m not a dope./
I’d just gone overboard with hope./
My mistake./
I’ll give you a break./
And absence can always help 1 cope.

Gettin’ my new ‘Do/
so I can meet you!/
Lookin’ like George Cloo/
ney./
Oh, you’ll soooo want me.
