Poetry Chain (just started) and made my Monday...

From a long time friend...

"here is an adam sandler-ish email:

i really miss eating pie with my old friend, sarah
because she now lives in oakland, being a ballah

it was nice chatting with you once again
hopefully, an email tag chain we can begin

we can talk about anything, including philosophy and art
or the big and little things we bought from wal-mart

i'm glad we got in touch
so much it made me want to rhyme as such

so here's to a good beginning with this email chain
during sunny days and also when there is rain

i'll be waiting for your reply
if it is in rhyme, that would would be pretty fly"

A terrible response -

"How did you find any time to write a rhyme?

I'm falling asleep on the job
and this is the only thing that's keeping me from being a slob.

I miss the pie and the nachos at midnight,
those days felt like my youth without the hindsight.

But the emails are fine,
they remind me of when I first met you in 1999!

Let's talk life, art, music, and the rest
the only thing I wouldn't speak about is Tara Patrick's .....

(Oh wait.. yes I would!)

Let me continue...
how does the world spin for you?

Mine has become blurry and my memory is faltering
I am hoping that I will finally land a job that is life altering

Books keep me calm and keep me busy,
and they never question my morals like Friedrich Nietzsche.

I hope next time this will make more sense,
But I don't have the caffeine in me to form my next sentence."
