    You had the flow going way back in the day. Glad Paul shared this one on Deep Cuts. It's a great poem with a message that smarts.

  • Unique! I really enjoyed this and it’s totally different format and clever content ❤️

  • I was going to ask, "But what do you love, Kendall?" I guess I finally got my answer, delivered in such a manner as you love.
