    Wow! Just came in to read more responses, and what do I see!?
    So many of them have turned poets due to RGS !
    Surely, your poems induce many of us to try and reply in your style,
    but of course, it can never get close to the way you respond each time poetically :)
    Way to go ! :)

    Should I say that your feedback
    Gives me joy so much that I ask
    You to read my snippets and blogs
    And respond if they are not slack?

    :)
    Thanks a lot for yet another feedback to this thread, OutOfTheBox. And, as I said earlier, writing a verse is .... -rgs

    How true you are!! We don't even know how many things in life we take it for granted.

    The person I wonder about every morning is the man who comes sharp by 6 to pick up garbage. My DH makes sure that our bin is hung on the gate as soon as he hears his whistle so as to not make him wait. If on some days I hand over the bin, I say 'Thanks" while he is returning it. But hate the moment when he demands extra money even to remove a little extra bag of our garden garbage.

    Regards
    Manjukps

    :) :rotfl :thumbsup



    Gurujee sir! Wah wah! What poetry and what verse!:bowdown
    Ok, got the message. Shall not trouble you further with my attempt at verses! Prose versus poetry, I opt for prose any day. Shall leave the spinning of superlicious poems to our RGS. But then, he is also to blame, prodding ALL of us to rhyme in with his rhymes!
    Sorry to digress in your thread RGS, I just couldn't help but retort..ahem, reply!

    L, Kamla

    very true rgs. Its the truth that we take many things for granted and completely the ignore the services we receive either from outside people or from the ones at our home...................An eye opener actually................

    Thanks a lot ManjuKPS, for your feedback. And coming to the garbage pickup man - Well. Sometimes we have to ignore such shortcomings if they are really prompt and do their job. Very glad to receive your feedback here. -rgs

    Thanks a lot Dhivya. Very happy to receive your feedback.
    And yes, we often retort, saying that we are taken for granted, but continue to ignore those who are taken for granted by us. -rgs
