Personals -- Robert Phillips

(Poem #159)Personals
 I'm honest, discreet, and no way a lech.
 Staying home with a rented video is just fine.
 I'm seeking a friend first, we'll see what happens next.
 
 My definition of fun is not very far-fetched:
 Enjoy fishing, four-wheeling, casinos, and wine.
 I'm honest, discreet, and no way a lech.
 
 Want face-to-face conversation, no phone sex,
 Non-smoking, drug-free women—the old-fashioned kind.
 I'm seeking a friend first, we'll see what happens next.
 
 I like a lady to let her hair down, get a little wrecked.
 I have brown hair, brown eyes, am built along trim lines.
 I'm honest, discreet, and no way a lech.
 
 I'm thirty-seven, white, have two teenagers by my ex.
 Looking for a lady, any age or race, similarly inclined.
 I'm seeking a friend first, we'll see what happens next.
 
 No psychos! (My ex didn't play with a full deck.)
 I live on the northwest side, near the refinery.
 I'm honest, discreet, and no way a lech.
 I'm seeking a friend first. We'll see what happens next.

Compassion -- Miller Williams

(Poem #158)Compassion
 Have compassion for everyone you meet
 even if they don’t want it. What seems conceit,
 bad manners, or cynicism is always a sign
 of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen.
 You do not know what wars are going on
 down there where the spirit meets the bone.
-- Miller Williams
