The Friday Fling Offers Advice To The Lovelorn!
Friday Fling #219 for February 15th 2013
Yesterday was Valentine’s Day, a special day for people to express their love for one another. But unfortunately not everyone is on the receiving end on Valentine’s Day.
Recently the Queen of the “love columnists,” Dear Abby’s Abigail Van Buren, passed away. That got us to thinking: who will give advice to the lovelorn now? How about you?
Since it might take some time to write out your advice, no format is suggested this week. Just any poetic way you prefer.
This week the Friday Fling offers poetic advice to the lovelorn!
Be sure to save time to read and comment advisedly on your fellow Pals’ poetic profferings. Then be advised to enjoy this weekend!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for February 8th
Congratulations Barbara!
Welcome everyone to the Friday Fling’s poetic advice column – er blog! Pull up a rhyme and create something with some p[ossibly useful advice in there somehwere! If you want a format suggestion, perhaps a fable, a made up story with a lesson at the end or “moral.” But whatever, let there be love!
DEAR WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
~
This is bout
One of those stories
That lead from one thing to another
Like I waz watchin tv and
The strangest thing happen
While watchin the
Jane and Fred story line
I fell in love with my dentist
And I knew that I hated him for he hurt me so bad
The pain he gives me while tryin to kill the pain and numb my gums
And the after affect when the vovocaine wears off well
As I was watchin
Jane and Fred
Get into who said what
And who was havin an affair
My face began to swell
It was thah dag gum tooth of mine again
Whiles eatin strawberries dipped in my chocolate the pain hit hard
I called in for an appointment knowin I would have to wait
Yet the doctors said
You can come on in sense
Its a walk in day
Well I did
And low and behold
If that doctor
Didnt hurt me more than I was
Came out all swollen and sore face big a a pumpkin
And all I could think of was oh my goodness how love hurts
Is this really just how its suppose to be when your lover walks out on you
Oh how your heart hurt
And the same think hits me
When me when I walked out of the dentist oh how my mouth hurt

SAGE BRUSH
Walking down Valentine Lane.
with nothing but loving to gain,
came a person with little to lose
except for those lonely one blues.
Happening on an old sage,
who symbolized some ancient age,
our protagon stopped and inquired
what advice old sage life had inspired.
“Tweechisown” was his answer at first.
Lonely soul shook sad head as though cursed.
But when pressed for more useful info,
old sage thought till his head gave a glow.
Soul could see him composing inside
a poem like some great rising tide;
till, about to burst forth at next tick,
came full formed shape of this limerick:
“Show the one that you love that you do,
and admire good uniquenesses too.
Bestow moral support,
sell love long, never short;
and be true; that is all you can do!”
Moral: if you want to learn more about love, you could probably do better than asking a lonely old sage.

AS ANY OTHER DAY
I would never presume
to be an expert
in such things
as love and romance
and baubles and blings,
but after all these years
of togetherness’s ups-and-downs,
I have learned a thing or two,
about what’s important in life,
and what’s not.
On Valentine’s Day
I’m reminded once more
that it’s not just jewels
and flowers and chocolate
that I look forward to
or expect at all,
but the caring
and the sharing
among friends
that happens every day.
And on this day
when virtue is
so often choked
by dollar signs
and simple superficiality
masking even
the best intentions
that love and romance
might ever bring,
I remind myself that
it’s just another day,
another chance
to share our hearts
with our friends
and those we love
with no strings attatched
or expectations
just as we would
or should
on any other day.

Congrats to Barbara on the Fickle Finger award. Very well deserved! :love: :love: :love:
I’m not good at giving advise
But I do know that if you care
You should always say something nice
Negativity is hard to bare
Never compare yourself to others
Just be yourself all the time
Never try to outdo your brothers
Just being you is not a crime
A kind word will lift a heart
When someone feels so down and blue
And your smile will give them a start
Of a sunny day because of you
People will love you for who you are
And your kindness will shine like a star
Awww Love Dear Abby
Used to get Saturday paper just to read:)
Sorry missed new ones and on toes
Dear Abby I love this man but, not sure if he loves me
To love is the most beautiful feeling above all
But, it takes two baby it takes two
Both give a little give in a little
Have to grow together , too
If love is to be true
Don`t think you can change one for it is past due
Set in ways and have not a clue
Those that abuse will only keep a fuse
Causing you to loose and no excuse for abuse
Too, if you love give it time to grow
Take it slow then you both will know
Walk away and be friends if not to be
Can`t make one love you
Need to be friends no matter what
Enjoy the moments
(Remember the song Diana Ross I`m Gonna Make You Love Me 🙂 I loved that song)
But, can`t make one love you Just hope:)
Thumbs up left for all…a quick little something! 🙂
