One thing I've discovered as I proceed

On this program which sometimes fills me

With wonder, and at others - makes me bleed

Is the following one develops who do heed



The sensible rules which have been outlined

And those who come regularly are not blind

To the realization civilized behavior makes

For some really good conversation which takes



Interesting turns and thus fills me with pride

For the regulars do not ever yell, run & hide

As many do who run around on these chatlines

For they're beating a drum they only shine



Whilst others look on and choose to dismiss

Those characters who have thus so displeased

And then tend to a return to normal good chat

Which fills me with good and warm feelings that



Brings me back on constantly again and yet again

For good friends like these are well worth the train

And some day, I suspect I might even use this method

Of getting together with at least one who's assured



Me - there is little more important in life than

The positive vibes true (I mean true) friends can

Give each other just by being there and supporting

Everything you do, (I mean all) just by enjoying



Sharing time with you, and by feeling good to be

Part of your sphere, & like a very good cuppa tea

Makes you come back yet again and again and again

For everything you share and do, becomes part -

                               of the master plan.
