"My AOL Friendz"

There are special characters on my buddylist, I gaze at everyday

New friends and old across the land I sign online hoping just to say

Hi, how are you today, the weathers great or hope your doing fine

Just little things to brighten up a day or cause a smile to shine

With cute phony names to hide behind we think ours is the best

Something special with meaning to us so we are different from the rest

Such diversity in culture can be shared for there is no boundary line

Learning from each other we mix and mingle to get along just fine

Many new doors have been opened here thru the cyber waves of space

Even "Chat Rooms" are provided to help us choose and find our place

But the names we watch have touched our lives in some special way

These are our cyber friends, and bonds are made for they are here to stay

Like the SPARKLE* of the SUNSHINE* it's not HARD2FGURE* who is who

A ROSEBUD*, a CYNDI0* or a MENTALCASE* with GODSGRACE* and a ROSEHIPSTU*

They are unique for who wants to be RAISINL* as a EVELWENCH* while W8ING2CHAT*

Or bark BOWWOWWWW*, have a FREKKLEFCE* or something cute like that

Be animated as a WISHBEAR*, TAZZI*, LADYET* or be a HILBILGAL*

QQAMYSTERY* as a GAAUNTIE* and SAVGANURSE* who is family no a pal

Or some CINAMIN* who let's BLITZ* in to draw with some BIGCHALK*

And MSTHANG* who don't give a TOOT* like my son's LILLCHALK*

Then there is CHERAKEY* who is kin to me and a QTSMILN4U*, COMPDOC*

And smooth SILKSHELZ* that SHELBLITE* to LUVTEECH* as others that I mock

Like LRFUZZ* who writes verse as good as me, we both a POETSDRMR*

IAMCAGEY* is REDEEMIBLE* waiting for NOBLEHANDS* to redeem her

But her YOOST2BE* holds back cause a QUETPIE2U* has his heart

And his best bud BRACK1* is his LANLADY* keeping them apart

So you see you can beat a BONGAROO* until you is a JENNIBOO*

And don't forget a special lady PUNKINN*, whose number should be 42

And ONECHRON28* shares a verse for all to see she really cares

Or goofy as JOZEE1935* and wish upon a star as POOHGIRL* bears

Now most these screen named characters have never seen my ugly face

But in my heart there is a BLUSHROSE* and they each have earned their place

These are not all the names with claim to fame that grace my buddylist

Just some that came to mind for I know 2 dozen more, I'm sure that I have missed

One is TUTTI*, THARRIS512* who dresses backgrounds upon my deeds

They're all my friends on AOL and planted some special permanent seeds

So if you wish to never be included in a DABBLEZ* rabble of silly rhyme

You can POGAMAHOIN* which means don't occupy my time.

The * indicates a screen name

Many names have numbers on them but I chose not to use them to make my

Verses rhyme except where I wanted them. I hope all my friends listed above

Enjoy these words as much as I have putting them together.

I Love You all. D. Sanders
