Touched By All My Friends

Touched by all my friends, There's Shelly who touched me first on a goth site called Tainted Thoughts, And Randy who taught me how to play dungeons & dragons, And still.... my imagination runs away, There's JJ an artist extreme, He drawed up my first role playing character Sidewinder.. Who's only an elf that lives on Island Within An Island, And Mysty who touched my heart first on this poetry site called Allpoetry, And Vern who gives me coffee mocha's in his shop called The Dolores Bookstore, He listens when I need him to and allows me & my fellow poets to share what we have from the heart, And Saber who lightens the air with laughter hollering food fight! Chasing everyone via cyberspace with his green jello gun, Allan who sings karaoke with me at a bar called the Glade in Cortez, Colorado, It's been too long since we've gotten together! And Dreamer who dances swing jazz with me, Man....We two can cut a rug! And Carl one of the first friends I had made at Denny's drinking coffee & writing late at night, Blame him if you don't like my singing at karaoke. He got me started! Tommy who reads my poetry & keeps my spirits up, Occasionally we'll collaborate together & come up with good ideas, Anthony who always comes up with a good story, Just ask Him! You'll see what I mean! Stephanie drops by when I think everyone's forgotten me & makes me smile I love ya, Baby! And when Vern's not there... There's Leah or Meagan filling in, Damn Meagan.... You play mean sax! And I haven't forgotten Susan & other niece Jeanie my coffee clutch friends at Denny's, We'll talk all night! More than one time we've welcomed the sun, And Tony... my old friend from Apple Hill Juice Company, I've heard you play Bob Dylan's songs more than one time, Thanks! I've needed that jo! There's Bob an elderly gentleman, retired from the highway sheriffs department, If I need a ride late at night all I have to do is ask, And Leroy... One of the first poets I met here in Dolores where I did my first reading, There's Gecko my friend & fellow poet from down under. G'day mate! There's Johnnie & Dani from Grandpa's Corner If you need something from a second hand shop, They're on hand to please, And Goldie from the Quality Bookstore, She'll find what you need, There's Amber who listens, A young person with an old soul who wipes my tears when I cry, There's Dan... He's know as Dan the man... The telephone man, He's my landlord, But he watches out for me, Always has a bit of advice, And until next time I'll say adieu, If I've forgotten someone, Don't worry I'll catch you on two.
