To all on the Parkinsn List


I received this little poem recently from a friend who I met in DollChat#1,
a very friendly little chat room for people who like dolls.  I thought you
might like to share it.

Stay happy

   FRIENDS WITHOUT FACES

   We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens
   We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.

   With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze
   Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.

   We chat with each other, we type all our woes
   Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.

   We wait for somebody, to type out our name
   We want recognition, but it is always the same.

   We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt
   In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.

   We do form friendships - but - why we don't know
   But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

   Why is it on screen, we can be so bold
   Telling our secrets, that have never been told.

   Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind
   With those we can't see, as though we were blind.

   The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
   We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.

   We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
   So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.

   Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
   They are Friends Without Faces, and odd little names.


   Happy Online Friendship Week!
