Listen to Tawn now, brevity is good.

Maybe you just had a bad experience with some dodgy mushrooms?

Good day Mr Kanga,

May I interject? Thankyou in advance!

I truly admire your sensitivity. and your truth/beauty quote is very opportune.

Because really, mushrooms or no mushrooms, the beauty is in the sentiment behind the words. We men of a sensitive nature do tend to wear our heart on our sleeves, and then realise that perhaps our sweet ones may prefer an...ahh...offering, of a more private nature. Of course, this does not take away from the beauty and truth of the words in the first place.

Oh Mr Kanga, it is men like you and I who need to be heard, who need to help others understand our deep and meaningful nature. Truly, such brilliant, yet sometimes tortured souls, are few and far between.

And Ms Helensback, Ms fsophia and Mr Mackeral, if I may suggest? Thankyou in advance! You must applaud Mr Kanga for his tenacity, his fortitude, his overwhelming desire to do the right thing by his lady-love. You must champion this blossoming love. And lay off the magic mushrooms!

Yours truly,

Melvin.

Girlfriends......

I don't know about being a champion. But I do know that Keats is a good start. Now, if you can get some Donne or some e.e. cummings, you'll be truly in the area of effective poetic seduction.

Girlfriends......

Melvin and others..............

Mel, mate..............you are truly an inspirational, insightful genius.

You are all now witnessing the metamorphasis of The Artist Formerly Known As TieMeKangarooDownSport - TieMe was the boy, TheKanga the adolescent........and now I am a bloody man..........THANK YOU MEL! Now what am I gonna call meself? Anyway, my first offering is by, well, it seems you all already know.......

Dedicated to a very special someone..............you know who you are little ladylovelylocks (was that cool , Mel?)........

i go to this window

just as day dissolves
when it is twilight(and
looking up in fear

i see the new moon
thinner than a hair)

making me feel
how myself has been coarse and dull
compared with you, silently who are
and cling
to my mind always

But now she sharpens and becomes crisper
until i smile with knowing
--and all about
herself
the sprouting largest final air

plunges
inward with hurled
downward thousands of enormous dreams
(e e cummings)

[Helensback]

Oh my goodness!!

Mr Kanga, Mr Fan...simply beautiful. Quite, quite stunning in fact.

If I may suggest? Thankyou in advance! Yes, I think we three men may have a great deal in common with this most clever wordsmith. Kindred spirits, so to speak?

Yours,

Melvin.
