It's getting late It doesn't take much time To write A line or two Or three or four Or maybe even more You have it in you All at hand Ready for the 'Write' Remember you can do this Anytime day or night You are a poetess, we know It's not a secret now You've proven many times That you know how! We miss your contributions to Our world of verse We all sing in a chorus now: "Your absence is perverse!" Once a pickle, Your cucumber days Are done!
