    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Just thought I'd share this poem that was wrote for me! (not really but it could have been)
    The Cleaning Poem
    I asked the Lord to tell me
    Why my house is such a mess
    He asked if I'd been 'computering',
    And I had to answer 'yes.'
    He told me to get off my butt,
    And tidy up the house.
    And so I started cleaning up...
    The smudges off my mouse.
    I wiped and shined the topside.
    That really did the trick...
    I was just admiring my good work.
    I didn't mean to 'click.'
    But click, I did, and oops - I found
    A real absorbing site
    That I got SO way into it -
    I was into it all night.

    So nothing's changed except my mouse.
    It's as shiny as the sun.
    I guess my house will stay a mess.....
    While I sit here on my bum.
    Thank you for being my e-mail buddy and friend!



    'It's nice to know where I can find all you guys!'

  • evening everybody
