Hey Buk    

I just wanted to say...

Thank you

You make me laugh

You make me think

About this thing called life

And the small part I play

You inspire me to write

Even though by comparison

I am a fraud

I promise to dedicate my first book 

To you

Or Robert Baun

Or my wife.

Am currently reading a biography of Buk, I have a couple of his novels but haven't got round to his poetry yet. 'Rick the shoe shine boy' on this site is a big fan of his I think and he writes some great stuff. I must get my skates on, I feel I'm missing out now.
