Open letter to Joe D.

by Charlie Morgan

a meritorious man, i hear. so.
so already i'm suspect.

he writes to challenge me,
he thinks to out-do me;

on any given day he interrupts me;
can quote a 30s Roy Acuff song,
any synoptic gospel in the Bible.

i stand clear of the man;
i need no more injuries.

his care, for me, for Carl Sagan's
billions and billions are his
biggest fault and wears heavy.

he keeps having more love,
tho' he gives-out plenty.

will you tell him,
if you see him:
his care, i wish to emulate.
tho' i am just a man.

Regardless of how many merits compiled I doubt any man could best you. Your abilities shine from this and all the other pages of yours I have scrolled away in my secret files. Good write sir.

Ah, well, it is a special joy to read your pome about our buddy, knowing well your allusions and maybe not quite so well - your illusions. I really enjoyed this one, Charlie. Thanks.
