This was really one send off that won't be soon forgotten. You did a great job with this send off with this pictapoem to Dr. Dip. I enjoyed the read but poor dr dip came to one horrid end! Sararb :)

Oh, I'm sure he loved it. He became a part of the very thing he cherishes over everything but his dear family. A smelly part of it, sure. But a part of it, nonetheless, LOL!

Thanks for the great review, Sararb!

If I still had a "six" this would have gotten one! Great send off to a friend!

Is this Dr. Dip, that daSilva guy you told me about?

Cutely humorous, tight, quick moving... all in all, a thoroughly enjoyable ode! Anyone not taking the time to read this will be missing out on a treat!

No, two different guys entirely, PW. But I hold both of them in the highest regard. You too, my friend. I hope you're not going anywhere!

Thanks for the great review! I do appreciate it.

reply by poet.wayne on 23-Aug-2013

I thank you for that sentiment- you're putting me in some pretty good company- where I don't feel I come close to measuring up!

The only way I'll go anywhere is if they kick my insane ass off here! I'm having too much fun here... I'm on several other sites, and none of them comes close to this in the way of feedback, helpfulness, things like that. And that's what this fumbling scribbler needs- those who know what they're doing to help me learn!

With friends like this...heh heh heh. Seriously funny, filled with your usual flair for the macabre. I don't know the good doctor, but I'm sure he is honored to have such a friend.
Take care.

Well, you should look up his work sometime, TJ. He's a very funny guy, he could always be counted on for a good laugh, or two. Now, let me ask you, who doesn't need a good laugh these days?

Thanks for that graciously kind review, my friend!

reply by Twilightspire on 23-Aug-2013

I think I will. Thanks. I could always use a.laugh. By the way, the pic you made for.me was a big.hit. thanks again!

reply by the author on 23-Aug-2013

My pleasure, TJ. I don't do that for everyone, although many have asked, LOL...

Tale /tail, this is something that I like to do with titles 2/too.

So Dr dip is leaving us, I had no idea.

An interesting poem of how a man returns to his basic elements via a sharks digestive organ. LOL.

I like the way that you overlaid the text onto the picture.

Thanks, Mel, and yes, sadly he's moving on down that proverbial cosmic highway. I do wish him all the best...

I appreciate your very kind review.

You knew of him, Sueellen? Then you're aware of just what a special and unique talent he truly is. His wit and humor will be greatly missed around here...

Thanks for your wonderful review. And be sure to drop dip a note to say, "so long"...

Thank you so much, seken58. He has nerves of steel. He must have, because he has read and reviewed every single thing I have done on FS, without fail. And you're more than aware, I'm sure, of how my writing can be, at times, LOL!
Thank you for you most generous review, my friend...

The theme form Jaws, yeah, I got it, and it was gr-r-r-r-e-a-t-t, rebekka! Thanks for the enthusiastic review, yours are the best kind!

Great tribute to your friend, I think! And a wonderfully colourful and humorous picture to accompany it.

Come to think of it, most of us are going to end up as worm shit, so maybe shark shit is higher up the evolutionary plane - it's just the being eaten while you're still alive that may put some people off! :o)
