Didn’t read it once. Too often these things can sound like _Penthouse_ letters. 😉 ---

_This brain’s not working So I’ll abandon haiku and opt for rhymed verse_ Joey Hemlock Online he’s an irresistible force - a terrible but wondrous flirt But to me he’ll always be Joey wearing that Animal shirt The one he wore that special night (it’s since received good press) When I got down on bended knee and Tonya said ‘yes, yes, yes’ For I now owe him a special debt And I’m not sure how I’ll pay For the tender moment was forever caught As joeyhemlock saved the day The person asked to capture the scene on film just disappeared But without thought Joey snapped the camera up and clicked while others cheered So I publicly declare him a hero Though it’s regrettably late I have two simply wonderful pics of my love, so thank you mate!
