Reply to a Left-Handed Compliment

New friend my fellow trafficker in rhyme
Tracker and detractor at the same time
I thank you for your kindness
And I forgive such blindness
As I see in you when you look at me

You have knocked at my portal
Now I make you immortal
The ridiculous now becomes sublime
The dumb will speak but the blind will not see
Therefore let us agree to disagree

Lest anyone think this stupid little poem harsh, take note that in it I describe myself as "the dumb." True enough!

Also remember that it is just an affectionate little joke.

Happy Fourth of July to all my fellow Americans; may it be a wonderful weekend with those you love. I hope you will read my "Happy Birthday to the USA," and that it will make you smile awhile.

Love,

+Stevie

ummmmm.....
