Tamara makes me friendship soup; We met long ago at a public interest group. We've seen our kids through poop and croup. Without her love and joy, I definitely would droop. I will end with one big WHOOP!! For awesome Tamara and her fantastic troupe!!

As a token of appreciation, I send each person who donates to my campaign a poem. Sometimes my poems make me laugh - this one did. 

Contemplating Becoming A Grandmother

In contemplating my relationship with a dog,

I came to the delightful realization

that if, in time,

I become a grandmother,

I will rhyme:

Gramma Tamra!

Or Gram Tam for short....Sublime!
