here is an ode to Anna Russell
with a wriggly jiggly bum that is really all muscle
and with a mind that is dancing all of the time
she's a tequila mockingbird with a twist of lime
tipsy in her highest heels
Paul Newman yet appeals
an optimist with endless hugs
(except for certain types of bugs)
she'd never live in that little town
and red letters unwanted don't get her down
proud Mom and a hardy Scot
slender dreams and broken heart
blank pages don't cause her fear
she leaves us all with a perfect tear
honest truths written beautifully
many lovers she has - of her poetry
And if you haven't read her stuff
you've been warned - fair enough
get on over, hurry and see
you don't want to be *this* Scot-free
here is an ode to Anna Russell
it was typed in a bit of a hustle
but today is her birthday - age 27
Anna, may your day be a blissful heaven!
Charles, this really is great writing, Scot -free it is not, so much for Anna to enjoy, she is a great girl and has a fine voice Love Duncan X
Happy Birthday, Anna! Could there be a better poem for you than this? I think not! ! ! Good one, Chuck - a very worthy write and lots of fun, too! Be happy and well and happy again. Esther : ]
Aww Chu - uck. I can't believe you didn't tell me this was here. What a great b day present - I'm so sorry I was late in seeing it. I'm a bit choked up now! Thankyou sooooooooooooo much. Even bigger hugs than usual Anna xxx
As usual, Chuch. A poem with a lot of fun and energy in it. Good write.
Just saw this Anna - you've become a bit elusive but never mind, all the best PH-ers are at this party! Happy birthday, many happy returns and enjoy every day! Love, Linda in LA
Charles, after reading this, yes, there was no other way to but write it in a 'hustle'. You delineated her energy, personality and gave her life, and described her persona in fitting words which demand a jet plane comparison. Beautiful! Obviously, you are a man of powerful energy, too. Loved this. My best, Carol Happy birthday, Anna! Priceless gift given to you by Charles!
Wow what a wonderful tribute to a very fine poet pal! Anna is indeed a fab gal and you did her proud with this Chuck! Enjoyed reading this. HG: -) xx

A delightful and well-deserved tribute to our Anna, and a great giggle as well. Love to you both, Gina. PS: will not the lady herself attend her own e-toast? : -)
