Well, I was just reacting to Orchid's post, and figured the rest of the ladies felt the same way.
Okey...if you want, send them all in to me...Then I'll post them without the author's name...and if it's only three or four submissions...who cares, we are all winners.

Thanks so much for doing this. I had to get in on the action. Here is my attempt from the hotel room in Chicago at 5:39 AM. Short and sweet. Have a great day. I tried to email it but the dang computer isn't set up for email.

Embrace the good in one another.
If you stay home,
Embrace those who climb the corporate ladder.
If you climb the corporate ladder,
Embrace those who stay home.
If you are fair skinned,
Embrace women of color.
If you are a woman of color,
Embrace those who are fair skinned.
If you vote one party line,
Embrace those who vote another.
If you embrace God,
embrace those who don't.
If you don't embrace God,
Embrace those who do.
We have more similarities than differences.
Embrace them.
Look for the good in all women.
Embrace one another.

Your welcome Dotsie. And thanks for submitting your beautiful poem. Did you just write it now? At 5:39 AM?
I'd be lucky to hit my teeth with a toothbrush at that hour.

Hello girls!

Ah, just want to let you know...at the risk of getting on your nerves...heh heh..
that it's the FINAL countdown; -- till midnight tonight!

I've been having a ball with the submissions so far...but we need more, REALLY more....and who knows...maybe this will be our first group-book! And then we'll make millions and zillions...and we'll all meet at some ritzy spa, let gorgeous hunks massage us and bathe our feet....pant pant...

Okay...It will be published tomorrow...hold on to your heads, er, hats.
