Beverly,
If you were a car
I'd drive you
If you were a plane
I'd fly you
If you were an olive
I'd eat you
If you were a martini
I'd drink you
If you were a song
I'd sing you
If you were a poem
I'd write you
But you're Beverly
so I'll love you
Max.

Max,
Thank you for the poem. I loved it. I wish I could write one for you, but I'm not very good at writing poetry.
How can I return the favor?

Maybe you could try to write a poem for me someday.

I don't know, Max. I'm good at a lot of things but writing poetry ain't one of 'em.
How else can I entertain you?

Okay...but I feel kinda funny doing it when I'm here at work.
Let me think about it a little bit and write a message to you from home.

No, you said you would be waiting with *baited* breath, and I think you meant that you'll be waiting with *bated* breath.
Unless you have worms in your mouth or something.

Beverly, sometimes you annoy the hell out of me.
Love,
Max
p.s. Do you always go around correcting people's grammar and spelling? Some people might not find that amusing, you know.

And here I was the one who was always saying how *you* annoyed the hell out of *me*. Looks like the tables have finally turned. <g>
xoxo,
Bev
p.s. Yes, I'm a compulsive member of the grammar and spelling police. I try to refrain from correcting people at cocktail parties, but I don't always succeed. Trying not to edit restaurant menus is enough to make me crazy.

Well I still find you amusing. And you even got me to look up "bated" in my dictionary.
I'm learning a lot from you.
Max.
