[[I was reading aloud but my wife said “No more”;
no more because I’d admitted my throat was sore.
She filled a tiny glass and said “Gargle with Echinacea”;
and “Stay out of cold office, ...... though the computer might please ya.”
So for now I’m banned from using PoemHunter.com;
sometimes my wife treats me as if she’s really my Mom.
But I loved my Mom and, as a kid, my Mom cared for me,
and I know my wife has good intentions....... to keep me illness-free.]]
NOW for the title-girl, my PoemHunter friend named Cassie.
She’s a young Chinese-American music wonder. What a lassie!
I know I’ve used “lassie” to rhyme with her name before. ... Why not?
I could somehow use “sassy”, or “glassy”, or “chassis” as rhymes, but there aren’t a LOT (of rhymes) .
She lives, according to her, in my Pacific Time Zone.
She practices on her piano, to her increasing-skills hone.
[She’s got a sister, “Allison”, I think younger; they are both home-schooled.]
Cassie says she’s mostly her own teacher, so I guess HER “teacher” can’t be fooled.
She plays her sister’s violin a bit, and plays also, I think, with a pet bird.
I could say she is smarter than I, but that would just be TOO absurd.
She thinks my poems are funny, and I must readily agree.
If Cassie weren’t “just” a PoemHunter friend, we could go for walks and...... I could serve her tea.

This is a nice tribute to cassie and also to your wife who deserves a medal in my opinion for putting up with you Bri ha ha
Neat poem! Is there something going on between you and Cassie?
Bri, your poems are so funny, I could just tip over my chair giggling. Yes, I AM girly.But please, give me a break. You have to be so polite and smiley and everything at home, unless you (I) want my parents yelling at me. Chassis huh? I believe you had a little spelling error there. ;) Caught you! Tea sounds nice; without the sugar. Of course, it would be nice to give my respects to your little dried-up turtle. Last but not least, I will never forget to bombard you with questions. ;) Thanks Bri! A ten from me! (Naturally) And nope, there isn't; 'something going on'; I simply enjoy the company of this silly old man. Whom, by 'old', I'm saying it affectionately. Salutations!
Lol! I never knew someone will even write a poem of my sister! XD Good day to you! Allison
Keep taking the tablets Bri. They appear to be working :)
An enjoyable poem, and some very interesting poets' notes! ! ! the style of your Title is like a traditional literary poetry GLOSS that offers a pre-reading to the readers, and that itself is self-explanatory, helping the readers to walk on a guided path...a good poem! ! !
...'once you get to know me (through my poems or messaging) you will discover i am irresistible to young and old and in-between of all sexes; even some non-humans like me a lot! '....... What wonderful claims you make of yourself Bri....! ! ....... Though most of it is pleasant fantasizing.... there is a grain of truth in it, I must admit! I enjoyed Cassy addressing you 'a silly old man'! !
