Poet Strategy Sonnet

First, I will exist.
Then I will cease to exist.
But I will peek out from non-existence
like a cat stalking a bird.
I shall be coy with my non-existence.
I may make a feint of existing,
then suddenly dash back into my leafy bower.

Many lifetimes will pass
where I will remain in a suspect abeyance,
a sort of CLUB MED between existence and non-existence.
Then I will be launched at last
not by myself, obnoxiously, repeatedly,
as when I lived, but by others, gloriously,
others I consider vastly inferior to myself,

because they exist. They weather poorly.

Thank You, Kind Sir and Creator.

I gotta see what you're up to.

Didn't blog check your creations lately.

Your cards from the other day are really good enough to be "a line," you know.

I know nothing about marketing but I know they'd sell...

Not sure if you have TARGET over there but they're so TARGET....

If Martha Stewart ever met you, she'd snap you up in a second. I mean that as a compliment...don't take it the wrong way...she knows native design talent....

And I love TARGET...

I like thinking of you as the English Martha Stewart.

You'll have to do your version of the book ENTERTAINING to start.

Things have changed a lot since she published hers.

IT's more netiquette than etiquette now, and people are quite different...

I trust Ramjet will appear in many of the t.v. specials and in your special BUMPOS magazine layouts.

Fully retrofitted, of course.
