I have a hundred legs, but cannot stand.

I have a long neck, but no head.

I cannot see, but I'm neat and tidy as can be.

What am I?

You heard me before,

Yet you hear me again.

Then I die, 'Til you call me again

What am I?

My life is often a volume of grief,

your help is needed to turn a new leaf.

Stiff is my spine and my body is pale,

but I'm always ready to tell a tale.

What am I?

I am one with eight to spare, lest I lose my one.

I'm not a number.

But I am cute.

What am I?

I know what my job is,

The point has been made.

You say I have a big head,

And you're right, I'm afraid.

So put me in my place,

And then leave me alone.

What I need most,

Is someone to drive me home.

What am I ?

Late afternoons I often bathe.
I'll soak in water piping hot.
My essence goes through my see through clothes.
Used up am I; I've gone to pot.

Part carbon, part water, I am poison to the fishes.

Many have falsely claimed my name, for I am the pause that refreshes.

Though liquid in nature, don't push me too far; for then I will break, and the damage may scar.

My love, when I gaze on thy beautiful face,
Careering along, yet always in place,
The thought has often come into my mind
If I ever shall see thy glorious behind.

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

             Hey friend.  Its been a long time since we have talked.  I should have said something
before.


               Just writing to say how are you?   How is your husband, and that precious little
girl.?  I think of you often, and wonder how you are doing..  Havent seen her pic in a long
time.  I bet she is growing like a weed.
