[bodytext] =>  GIVING UP WINE? Have you ever had to give up smoking? I'm a diabetic, had to give up carbs, I suffered, true ailing. But, Wine when you dine, 'twas simply divine! I was married at the time, and walking down Stout Street in Denver...... I was accosted by a dirty, and shabby-looking old homeless woman, I'm a good enabler. She asked me for a couple of dollars for her dinner. I searched in my purse, and found 10 dollars then ask her, "If I give you this money will you buy wine instead of dinner?" ~.~.~.~.~.~ "No, I had to stop drinking years ago," she said Asking her if she would go shopping instead of buying meat and bread? She once again answered, "No, can't waste time shopping, I have to look ahead, I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive instead!" ~.~.~.~.~.~ Still not satisfied, I ask her if she would spend it at the beauty salon and not buy groceries? "Are you NUTS!" she replied, I haven't had my hair done in 20 years, all I have left is pennies!" After she told me this, is when I changed my mind completely "I'm not going to give you the money. I'm going to take you for dinner with my husband and me," I said briskly. ~.~.~.~.~.~ She was shocked to say the least! "But, she moaned, "Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that?" Then she added, I'm dirty, and I must smell, disgustingly bad, and I've lost my waistline........." "That's OK." I said, "It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and wine!"  ~.~.~.~.~.~ This was an email sent to me by a dear friend, with no Author This is also a true life experience that happened to me in Denver, Colorado many years ago. I just gave her the dough. The Poem is Mine! Lovingcritters consue ~.~.~.~.~.~ "When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other." ~Chinese Proverb~ *Sorry Smiles* [comments] => 4 [counter] => 332 [topic] => 7 [informant] => lovingcritters [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
