~The Dragon Flies Lair III~
October 18, 2003 | bentfeather

Posted on 10/18/2003 7:27:28 AM PDT by Soaring Feather

My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guides
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and I...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Howdy.

Sick and Tired

I’m sick of being sick and tired,
Yes something has to give.
It could not be my lifestyle,
You know the way I live.
So if I say, “I’m sick and tired”,
Please take it with a grain.
I’m really only sick and tired,
Of folks without a brain.
The democrats, the lib’ral press,
The folks in Hollywood.
They really want to wreck this land,
These folks aren’t up to good.
Don’t vote for dems, they mean you harm,
Don’t buy the New York Times.
Don’t go to see the movie show,
Please don’t support these slimes.
You see they need your money to,
Continue their crusade.
Let’s cut them off and then we’ll see,
The idiot’s parade.
They’ll whine and squeal that we aren’t fair,
That we have censored speech.
No they can say what they will say,
But they aren’t out of reach.
The reach of Free America,
To say enough’s, enough.
They’ll find that down here on the ground,
Life can sure be tough.

4 hours sleep in 48, and 4 more to snore now, and then the last of my 12 hour shifts for a few days. Maybe I'll be able to get some poems out then that I've been working on!?!

Sleep, oh how I crave thee,
sweet gift from Morphus so dear,
that time of inner repair to body and mind.

To rest, and from consiousness to flee,
surrounded by caressing flannel near,
the soul's recharge, to catch up from behind.

So until that wonerous moment let me be,
and in sleep let me rest without fear,
to leave me bright eyed with face unlined.

Later!

Oh my goodness Trike, and you write poetry, too.

Beautiful work as usual and thank you for remembering us in the Lair.

Take care of you, friend.

People are fickle by nature; and it is simple to convince
them of something, but difficult to hold them in that
conviction.
--Niccolò Macchiavelli (1469-1527) Italian philosopher

Nice. I like Roger Miller. The photos are great. But my favorite Roger Miller song is "Husbands and Wifes". I like the lyrics and the melody.

A Poem Upon Tea



Hail, Drink of life! How justly shou'd our Lyres
Resound the Praises which thy pow'r inspires!
Thy Charms alone can equal Thoughts infuse:
Be thou my Theme, me Nectar, and my Muse

Tea, heav'ns Delight, and Nature's truest Wealth,
That pleasing Physic, and sure Pledge of Health:
The Statesman's Councellor, the Virgin's Love,
The Muse's Nectar, and the Drink of Love

Immortals, hear, said Jove, and cease to jar!
Tea must succeed to wine as Peace to War:
Nor by the Grape let Men let man be set at odds,
But share in Tea, the Nectar of the Gods

Tea is good. I don't know if it's that good, but I like it with cream and sugar hot, or black with lemon iced. :)

Thanks for the music too.

No tea for me.

It grows on little bushes,
Not trees or even vine.
The bean needs to be roasted,
Then brewed into fine wine.
Colombia, does grow the best,
I like mine mountain grown.
No cream, no sugar in it,
Starbucks, yeech, I moan.
Just hot and fresh and in a cup,
I really like it black.
You keep your Cappuccino,
I’d want my money back.
