Busy (Rictameter)



Busy

"Busy
is as busy
does", they say, but I'm
completely at a loss to know
exactly what "they" mean by that remark.
Oh, I suppose I ought to go
and look it up somewhere,
but I'm way too
busy.

Del Warren Livingston (c) right now 2005

    I'll have to try this form out some time. This is cute, as Jim said. I'm not busy, I just don't have the opportunity to be on line. I think I might be able to be here a bit more often...but I am not sure. Nice to see you here. Thanks for the info.

    Cheryl Cheers!
