No thanks!Janine is just fine. I am young at heart, believe me!

Thanks P, ugh on the cleaning. I just put away all my many shoes so I can find the floor. Got tired already.Step one - tiny baby steps, I am afraid. My rooms are "Creativity gone a muck!" Just taking tiny break before dinner.
I liked your haiku! BTW - I have a Feb birthday coming up soon, too! Someone else on here is closer to mine. We will have to get a virual reality cake....what do you think?
Il Penseroso, I loved your haiku! very cool!

I thought "how aged I am now"
Quite silly was I
I commiserate regarding the ugh about cleaning. I've been doing some cleaning myself-- just finished scrubing the bird cage (good thing I love the messy little critter). Hey, a shared February cake sounds fun. We could get a really big one and eat it all month long (after all, nothing goes stale in virtual reality
. Lest my last haiku give a false impression of my seniority
How silly was I

He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk

Wow, you gifted poets have some great H's here. My hat is off to all of you! I was gone and you filled the page. I especially like Brainstorms, the first one...

I think Virgil needs to write the next H with that starting line. He read Dante and I did not, so I am at a lose. I have the book, but have not read it...it is on my list of "someday...."
Mmmmm...seems like Janine always is on the lookout for Uncle Virg....Hihihi...
Is it alright if I take it from the last line?
