Posted on 09/23/2002 6:40:44 AM PDT by Bella_Bru

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Scal made another post last night,
And she said, Before I go....
There's something about our word today,
That I have a right to know......
I said, Let's not stand out here like this,
What would the neighbors think?
Why don't we just step inside,
And I'll fix us both a drink.

My Scal Gal
My, my, Scal Gal
Can't say enough about the way I feel,
About my gal..... my Scal Gal.

Scally’s hands were shaking,
As she made her second post.
And I could see we both felt the same,
It don’t mind who loves the most,
I said, Who we love and why we love,
It's hard to understand.
Let's just sit here on the couch,
And post this, poem, man.

My Scal Gal
My, my, Scal Gal
Can't say enough about the way I feel,
About my gal..... my Scal Gal.

Scal, you know we just left that site,
And we know what XS said.
She doesn't want to your overbitee,
And she wishes you were Fred!
Now, I know we both post here,
And I guess we always will.
But you're gonna have to find more beer,
'Cause she's my gal ........ Scal!

My Scal Gal
My, my, Scal Gal
Can't say enough about the way I feel,
About my gal..... talkin' 'bout my little gal,
My gal, Scal.

I just can't understand that.... I would prefer the crab every time!!

The obvious good news is that you can feed them much more cheaply from now on.
