A Productive Morning

Feeling a bit more energetic today. Started the day early, updating web sites and initiating discussions on forums. Reader responses to my question on whether you would want to know if your partner was cheating on you was very interesting, in that, most people on the forums where I posted the question, including FB, foscussed on the potential for disillusionment and pain. It was only later that Gaynor Paynter mentioned the fact that actually, none of us have the luxury of not wanting to know, because of HIV. If you don't know he/she is cheating, you won't think about using a condom, and heaven knows who else the other partner is seeing:-)

Also check out Richard de Nooy's profile on the Read SA micro site. Richard is rather funny, so please take a moment to enjoy him as he tells you about himself, and his book. As I said in my last post, the idea is to introduce you to South African authors you may not know, and their works. You might discover a new author to fall in love with.

I'm planning to spend the rest of the morning/day writing copy for a newsletter. And when I'm done, hopefully I'll still have some brain cells left over to write some fiction. Meanwhile, let me introduce you to Baby's rhyming poetry:-)

If a birdie in the sky
Makes a poopy in your eye
Don’t be sad, don’t cry
Just be glad that elephants don’t fly

There was once a spook
Who was hung on a hook
On a tree by the brook.
Cos he took the mayor’s wife’s doek
While she sat reading a book
And threw it in the brook
Cos he thought it was a hoot.
