As my co-worker, you are an admiring friend.
You ask for my ideas; what would I recommend?
At the next team meeting, brains were storming.

Now, I abruptly realize food of thought was consumed.
Our lunchtime chat was not as sociable as I presumed.
The next time you ask for a word of advice or direction.
I will recommend a mirror, for looking at your reflection.
Does'nt that set your mother's dusters in a fluster.....when someone uses you. Many people need to look in that mirror......moi' included at times: O)
