Fun Email Exchange

It's not every day you get someone's personal email in poetic verse. But yesterday I got one from Toby and Kelly, which amused me to no end, and I had to reply in kind.

Here goes the exchange:

Dear friends,

Toby's got a new cell,

and Kelly has one as well.

So to give us a call,

you'd best be on the ball;

take care not slumber,

but use our new number.

So update your contacts,

then sit back and relax;

that's all that needs doing

- please leave off the booing

My poetry is poor; Christ's love is perfect,

love in Christ,

Toby

to which I replied...


Someone's got time
To make up a rhyme
That he judges poor at best.
But it made me smile--
it's an email with style--
My inbox has surely been blessed.


I'll make a note
of the changes you wrote
and will keep your rhyme in my drafts,
But don't be surprised
If I call you, disguised
As a publisher wanting your crafts!


Zo

To which Kelly replied,

"You worry me - truly. :) "
