One of the more sublime observations of life ever written by an American poet:

''Pouring ketchup
''From the bottle
''None'll come
''And then a lot'll.''

-- Ogden Nash

Graphic by MamaBear

It has been a given throughout the years
That comets are actually God's Own Tears.
Shed to send a message to lesser forms
That things are erring from the Norm.
While others panic and scream
"The End Is Near!"

When looked at in ways Analytic
With a healthy dose of the Scientific.
The Universe is just some kid's Humongous bedroom floor
Littered with GameBoys, Hot Wheels, Blocks and Army Men
Becoming comets and meteors, the toys are kicked,
Sail, skitter wildly but very rarely score.

To make it even simpler for the Trekkie Geek
The atmosphere protects us as we speak.
Miles of air make a strong defense.
The Object must hit the air just right
Or it skips off like a Line Drive for the fence.
Creating a disrpution that surely is a sight!

Think of God and Saint Peter in A Friendly Game.
Peter breaks the rack and the balls go insane.
Clacking loud amongst the countless Ricochets.
In order to sink the Eight you count the dots
Between the pockets. If the ball doesn't hit
Beside it. Drop in the pocket it will not.

So, the next time you see a Light In The Sky
The odds are excellent that you'll not die
Forget the ideas of people bizarre and Tantric
Just look up in awe and smile and sigh
"Amy's Place" will here, by and by.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide" is correct: "Do Not Panic!"

LOL ... Now that is a poem that I can relate to.

Welcome to Amy's Place, SAJ.
Hope you will come back soon and often.

Have a great day.

[Kudsman]

Morning Amy from the right coast. Interesting times keep me up but it is a pleasure to see you again. Especially back at your own place.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for the Welcome Poem and Graphic.
I went back a few years to find it but it is worth repeating.

Thank you again.

[JustAmy]

Hey there, Kuds. It's been a long time. So good to see you. Welcome Back!!!
Can you believe that I started missing this place after 3 years?

Do you still listen to Nat King Cole?
I need to find a server where I can upload music.
We had fun playing music in the evenings ... and keeping you up at odd hours.

I hope you stop by again soon and often.

[JustAmy]

Yikes .... I forgot that today is FRiday. Guess that’s what happens after spending all day in March. LOL

As you can see, I’m confused!! That’s what happens when you are suffering withdrawal symptoms.

Looks like we need two Welcome Graphics today.

[Kudsman]

yes,yes, and I’m here once in a while, I just don’t “check in” very much anymore. But now that you’re back regularly I will make it a point to say Hello more often.

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

From an email on June 10th, 2006 - the author is unknown.

I’m not always here as late as I used to be. Sometimes I’m here lurking in the evenings but not posting much.

I will look forward to seeing you here in the future.

[JustAmy]

Thank you for the pledge graphics.

I promise to take care of them. :)

[Defiant]

There’s a little-known poet named Barry Obama who has a composition on another FR thread. It’s very .... interesting.

[JustAmy]

Good morning. Welcome to Amy's Place, Defiant.
Hope to see you back soon and often.

A new poet on another thread? Hmmmmm
Is he trying to appear presidential .... writing poems while fixing the economy,
running a campaign and flapping his mouth about racism?

[JustAmy]

It looks like the missing threads are now restored.
