I wake up in the morning,
And can hardly wait to see
If I've received a mailing,
Addressed from you to me.

I get my 'puter running
And much to my delight,
Your poems, jokes and other things
Come quickly into sight.

Please keep those emails coming,
They are so enjoyable you see
Funny things, frien dly things
Those things you mail to me.

But most of all the fun of it,
Is knowing that they came.
From you, my friend,
The one I need not name.

This is a test of the
Emergency Friendship System

(F)orgives your mistakes
(G)ives unconditionally
(H)elps you
