I love this poem. Almost makes me wish I were back in college again. Dorm life was so much fun!
Thanks - I'm loving it. I got lucky, I really like all of my suite mates. I usually do poem, poem, story - I like to try things.

Thanks - I'm SO glad you liked it - I never know what people will like but I like telling stories the best
Your stories have such a ring of truth!
