MY DITTYS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This collection of dittys
is seasoned to be
Just a little bit sweet,
A tad sour,
A mite tart,
And sorta salty,
With just a pinch of spice.
THEY CONSTITUTE:
Thoughts, ideas, memories, fantasies;
I believe I've experienced my share
Plus, as you will see, a few extras
That I want to relate, if you don't care.
Say you have plenty of your own?
That's alright too, you needn't read
These that I share with you,
Just ignore me and pay no heed.
Would that you were of a mind and
Wanted to relate to me just a few
That you hold near and dear but
To me would be ever so new.
If you do choose to read a bit further
I mean no offense to you so please
Keep an open mind, a sense of humor,
Because some dittys are meant to tease.

Aimee Hill on November 25, 2008Hey Jean... I wanted to stop by and let you know that I miss you terribly. I miss receiving the letters in the mail that you used to send me... as well as the tapes of your music. I know you're better where you are, but I still wish you were back here.
Love you friend!
