I'll take half a dozen t-shirts with Poets of Mars on the front and a spider on the back.

cheque's in the mail for your fire sale
I'll take a shirt, a skirt, a cat, a hat--ah hell, I'll take it all!

Cha Ching...after I get my book, I'll definitely be placing an order.

Nice advertisement :)

That's a funny poem. Right now, I'm broke. :( I don't get paid til the 3rd.

I need to buy some more ryhmes for bling, sing, ring, string, ding, thing, swing, do you have any more to sell!

At your service, Captain!

How about a date with any of the poets?

Is some of the stuff I've been seeing here lately in it (whatever it is) How much is it anyway? Jill

I'll take a prostitute, a single bed at the Motel 6, and an adult dose of Pepcid Gas x.

Nothing at all wrong with promotion, it is a usual way of life, globally. Certainly, as important are levels of self promotion, as has been so often blatant in "Televangelists."

Obviously the reference should be able to carry it's own weight, as elequently expressed by Paul McCartney in "Golden Slumber", but there is no sin in helping it crawl, walk, run, and eventually like a Dad, for example, holding the back of a bicycle seat, we let our KID, often unaware, initially, soar along, self propelled.

While I have often believed in the quote, "There is no money in poetry, but then there is no poetry in money either" I hope in this and future cases, there enough of those willing to spend for quality, rather than pulp.

If ever, any of us feel like "DON" Q, charging at windmills, I suspect even being thrown from the horse, offers positives.

OK, I am ordering. How about a cigar with each book?

I have one great idea.
I just need to execute it.
If you are interested, let me know.
See you later
