And behold: GONE! You need some added detail –
Friendship’s post consisted of the picture from the link above plus a lengthy poem which covered much the same ground as her commentary. This I copied and here paste for your information:
Comment from author about the poem: I created this masterpiece for my parents in 3rd grade at Catholic school and it\'s rooted in a memorable experience where I faced challenges from the nuns and discipline from my folks. During art class, I unleashed my creativity by taking off my shoes and socks, pouring paint on paper, and stepping into it to craft a unique piece. Little did I know the aftermath of my artistic expression until my socks squished in my shoes with paint still on my toes. Miraculously, a year later, my parents showcased our picture in a beautiful mat, and it became a celebrated display on our wall of fame, symbolizing resilience and creativity.

Dry as gin and twice as sharp—you’ve wrapped heartbreak in wit and let it wink.
That little legal bow at the end only makes the sting land cleaner.

Dave, this is tight and mischievous. The couplet delivers a clean metaphor, and the mock-formal note underneath turns the whole thing into meta-humor. It’s not about the mint…it’s about the hole in the middle. Smart, restrained, and funny. Love it, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Valentine Who?
Kevin Hulme said:
Let Mr Valentine come around here with his Pink Suit and his Flowery Talk and I\'ll set the Hounds on him by Jove. He wants Horsewhiping. And if I had a Horse I\'d do it.

With age Valentines like Christmas becomes over rated to sell more gifts that are not needed, cards that are not wanted and flowers that soon wilt and die. Good write Dave

The Ballad Of Karen the Chook
Paul Bell said:
Yes, Karens have their own website now, and they don\'t produce eggs either, but they do stand their ground, and for some reason they\'re all the same shape.
I thought your dad was going to produce the failing hen for Christmas dinner in the guise of a turkey.
Soren is polite and knows his stuff, his hen would produce eggs in the buff.

sorenbarrett said:
Touché ya got me Dave. You are too kind though I\'m not always polite just ask my wife. I do believe in being polite to poets to encourage an art that is not as popular as many others like music. I would hate for someone to be discouraged from writing because of me. How would you like to be a person that discouraged a future Shakespeare. Loved your poem Dave and feel honored that my name should end up in it my friend.

Cheeky Missy said:
That sounds like what my beloved late daddy used to say, until sometimes I wonder whether I should take a different route so I can enjoy the journey instead of chafing while I look for the destination. You don\'t want dyslexia, I have it. It\'s nasty. I carry whiteout because of it. As for writing poetry, study examples of the form you desire to follow and practice until you too can write in the chosen form. Or?
Beautifully rendered with excellent good humor and lovely imagery not to mention sheer winsomeness to charm. Thank you for sharing.

🤣 perfectly philosophical delivery of \"That it’s not the destination
But the journey!!\"

\"Oh damnation…\"
A googly which would have made the bowler pat his own back.
