    Smile Recognition:

    Everyone wants to be in "Who's Who"
    But I have a question for y'all:
    Why would any person want to be in a book
    Subtitled "How to Recognize Owl Calls"?

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Hey, this is pretty promising! It could become a humorous piece of light verse, a la Richard Armour.
    How about making it a rhyming epigram or a quatrain? The first couplet has the makings of a rhyme already -- the last "who" could rhyme with "you" instead of "y'all."

    Honestly, your prolific output of works never ceases to amaze me. Where do you come up with all of these varied topics?

    Thanks Auntie and Prince! The answer to your question, Auntie, is way too much time on my hands!

    Brings back a memory also with time on my hands.

    On board a container ship to Australia. To pass the time, looked through, an old "Who's Who", which was in their little library, to see if the names of four of the kids that I remembered were in my class at school, had made it big...All four names were there!!!

    Thanks, Goldenrod and Fire! I'll never make it into "Who's Who". Perhaps that explains the poem!
