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

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.

Hi, DD! Hey, I heard that vick's vapor rub is also good for mosquito bites!

Best of the luck with the new gig!

Alas, poetry makes me think of someone I'd rather not,like a bad case of recurring foot fungus,but if this thread causes her any angst, well, bring it on! LOL

Have fun and enjoy yourselves :)

Good Morning, Diver!!

I will meet you in the dining car for coffee. Thanks for the invite. It's nice to meet old friends for coffee and to share a story or two.

[MistyCA]

Hiya, Habs! As the name says, you will be Habs4ever! :) Too funny. LOL!

Hey, it's on vacation from my head at the moment, so if it inspires you during the football game that's entirely it's own business.
*chuckle*

My head will feel better, I think, once this weather passes by.

Thank you all for the kind words. I'll keep you posted.

Now, ST.LOUIE1, I'm confused. I am not sure who you were where I knew you before?? Care to share? BTW thank you for the welcome.

Hi Sfan ....

Welcome to the Poetry and Potpourri!! I'm sure I missed welcoming you yesterday.

I hope you stop by often.

[MistyCA]

Interesting......just heard Larry Klayman stepped down from his position on Judicial Watch. Wonder what that is all about.

[MistyCA]

In case Louie isn't around right now, he was responding to the original ping to you and quoting the friend who pinged you. :)

[MistyCA]

BTW, it was the quote from Proud American in Canada when she introduced you to all of us. :)

[Pippin]

Afternoon :O)!

[Dubya]

Thanks for the ping. And renewing it.

[Pippin]

Hey Carl!

IT's TEA!!!!

[Pippin]

I saw all of it

(for once)

They were both great! :O)

Two horses were walking back to the paddock after a day's training.

One says to the other, "I can't understand why we are so slow, we come from good stock, we have the best of food, great trainers, and yet we come last in every race."

There was a dog running along side them who overheard and said, "I know what your problem is. I have seen you race and it looks to me as if you race off at the start really fast and use up all your energy and then you have nothing left. What you should do is pace yourselves and when all the other horses are exhausted, put in a spurt and you're sure to win. What do you think of that?"

The horses looked at one another and said, "WOW, a talking dog!"

Habs ...... Forget about the someone else and come by and enjoy some jokes. Do you have any that you can share?

Thanks for the good wishes.
