blue Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 If I knew what to add to this, I'd add it. If I knew what more to say, to praise it, I'd say it. But this one is so good, it needs no more from me. Except to say, it's great, I'm glad you wrote it. Great job, Gabe. Keep it up -- The service and the poetry. Quote Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Great job, Gabe. Keep it up -- The service and the poetry. I agree with you blue. ......... The sentiment of Gabe's poem would have been a real hit in the '60s. I think this is one hell of a good poem. It exposes, It reveals, It shows a determination to do good in the face of oppression. And all from a spoon. Stunning. Quote Link to comment
