Poetry and Potpourri .... October 31, 2003, November 1-2, 2003

.................................................................








The Poetry Branch has been in limbo since the prior hostess left FreeRepublic April 15th 2003. We've since learned that said hostess has lost her posting privilege. That being the case, and Jim Robinson having given his ok, I wanted to renew the thread.

FreeRepublic is blessed with many fine poets, and we look forward to seeing their poems posted on FR once again. There were many non-poet FReepers who visited the Poetry Branch for the camaraderie; we hope they will return.

I would like to invite everyone to visit and relax at Poetry and Potpourri. Hopefully you will renew old acquaintances for chatting, sharing jokes, telling stories, posting cartoons, etc. Everyone needs a place to escape from the everyday news, make Poetry and Potpourri that place.

Welcome to Poetry and Potpourri! Hope you can stay awhile.
Enjoy some poetry while you relax with a cup of coffee or maybe Meekie will bring you a beer or a tequila (sp) sunrise.

Okay .... regular FReeping .... how about a joke? It's not by JustFrank but it's the best I could do on short notice.

A fellow came into a bar and ordered a martini. Before drinking it, he removed the olive and carefully put it into a glass jar. Then he ordered another martini and did the same thing. After an hour, when he was full of martinis and the jar was full of olives, he staggered out.

"Well," said a customer, "I never saw anything as peculiar as that!"

"What's so peculiar about it?" the bartender said. "His wife sent him out for a jar of olives."

Have you been in the dog house lately?

The question should have the "in" replaced with "out of".

I have put in a requisition for an electric dog house blanket. Winter is coming. I expect my stay to be a lengthy one.

It is bad when my dog and I swap places, he gets the steak and I get the bone.:>}

I asked that post 269 be removed. I got impatient and did another double post.

You will definitely love Wild Child if you like illustrations.

I will keep When Lightening Comes in a Jar in mind! I haven't read that one.

Another good one for illustrations (and cute fantasy) is Linnea in Monet's Garden.

After we did that one, Amanda painted a lovely oil painting.

Great to see that you have not left us for the evening. Hope you had a wonderful week-end. It is starting to get cold in California's central valley. It's a little early so not sure whether we will get another warm spell or not.

I heard from Misty Friday. I will be calling her tomorrow. She will be in California another week. She said she is going to have to go home to Minnesota to get warm. LOL

Hope you have a great week too, Amy.

Say hello to Misty for me, we really miss her. I love her jokes and sense of humor.

Good to see you too, Amy.

> A POEM FOR COMPUTER USERS OVER 50

A Computer was something on TV From a science fiction show of note A Window was something you hated to clean And a Ram was the father of a goat.

Meg was the name of a girlfriend And Gig was a job for the nights Now they all mean different things And that really Mega Bytes.

An Application was for employment A Program was a TV show A Cursor used profanity A Keyboard was a piano.

A Memory was something that you lost with age A CD was a bank account And if you had a 3-inch floppy You hoped nobody found out.

Compress was something you did to the garbage Not something you did to a file And if you Unzipped anything in public You'd be in jail for a while.

Log On was adding wood to the fire Hard Drive was a long trip on the road A Mouse pad was where a mouse lived And a Backup happened to your commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife Paste you did with glue A Web was a spider's home And a Virus was the flu
