Friendship

There is this man
Who called me his friend
I'd gladly shake his hand
For I am his greatest fan

He writes beautiful poems
Dedicated to his friends
I've read all of them
He's a man of great talent

One day,maybe we'll meet
Just to sit down and chat
Like two old buddies
Talking about this and that

There is this man
With values and honors
Because he was a warrior
I'll not forget this man

For he called me his friend.

To friendship

My Lady;
If your lovely little poem is meant for me, then truly I am Honoured.



Camac.

Glad that you are honoured by it my friend,
it just popped out of my head last night.

LOA

A friend, all you need is one.

Nice poem LOL, I'm glad it popped into you head.

LOA;

Since I am an amateur when it comes to poetry I will suggest that you read two poems by Rudyard Kipling. They are "TOMMY" and "GUNGA DIN". Just go to google and type in "The Poems of Rudyard Kipling". I think you will enjoy them.


Camac. (Friend)

Thanks Camac for the tip. I did not know Ruyard Kipling and from a few that I saw I think if I'm not mistaking that he was Irish?

Anyways, I did printed "Tommy" and "Gunga Din" which is about gin and I did print "Ulster".

This will be good reading while sipping a good scotch.
The hell with migraines at least I'll know why I end up with one.


By the way, I spoiled myself last week-end and bought a bottle of Glenfiddich.

LOA;

I'm sorry to say My Lady that Rudyard Kipling wasn't Irish. He was born and raised in Calcutta, India, of English parents. After schooling in England he returned to India and worked as a Newspaper reporter. He wrote many poems and books which included Kim, and The Jungle Book. His poems are a bit difficult to read as the are written in the venacular (slang) of the day. Gunga Din isn't about gin its about an untouchable who is a water carrier in the British India Army.


Camac.

Allo Camac,

I haven't had the time to read them yet because I was at work and only read a few lines here and there.
So let me take the time to read them carefully and I'll get back to you with what I think.

Thanks my friend, LOA

Bravo My Lady

And from the poem, the film, Gunga Din was one of my favorite movies of all time!

My father was a very big Rudyard Kipling fan.

USN;

Sam Jaffe became famous for playing Gunga Din. If I remember correctly Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks jr and Victor McLaglen were also in it. "Your a better man than I am Gunga Din".


Camac.

Thanks Ulster, glad you like it.

Yes John so true, too many friends is not real and true also that things just pops up from my head and between you and me it usually bugs the husband when I do that. I would say things to him that just popped up from my head and he would look at me and ask if it's a nice conversation with myself that I'm having!!!

LOA

More often then not, I'm the only one who will listen to myself.
The best part is we always agree.
JC

John, they say that one that talks to oneself is a sign of great intellect.

LOA

JC;

I agree. There are time I swear that when I talk to myself its the only time I have an intelligent conversation.
