G'mornin backatcha!
My eyelids are screamin for a pair of toothpicks or a good night's sleep... I like the latter better!

Thanks for the kind words... what a way to end the day.
Have a sweet snooze!

[Mama_Bear]

His poem worked so perfectly.

It really did.

I am off to bed. I have to host the Finest Thread tomorrow (or rather later this morning), guess I better get some sleep.

Good night to Amy and any "Amy's Place" lurkers and night owls.

The Whistling Girl

Back of my back, they talk of me,
Gabble and honk and hiss;
Let them batten, and let them be-
Me, I can sing them this:

"Better to shiver beneath the stars,
Head on a faithless breast,
Than peer at the night through rusted bars,
And share an irksome rest.

"Better to see the dawn come up,
Along of a trifling one,
Than set a steady man's cloth and cup
And pray the day be done.

"Better be left by twenty dears
Than lie in a loveless bed;
Better a loaf that's wet with tears
Than cold, unsalted bread."

Back of my back, they wag their chins,
Whinny and bleat and sigh;
But better a heart a-bloom with sins
Than hearts gone yellow and dry!

Dorothy Parker

Good night, Lori. Sweet dreams.

See you tomorrow.

Penguins Everywhere

There's a penguin on the table.
There's a penguin on the chair.
There's a penguin eating popcorn.
There are penguins everywhere!

There's a penguin on the ladder.
There's a penguin on the ground.
There's a penguin on the rooftop.
There are penguins all around!

There's a penguin in the mirror.
There's a penguin next to me.
There are penguins everywhere
That only I can see!

It would cost more to produce than the one copy that would be bought by my mom would cover.

But thanks so much for your comments.

Morning Mama Bear. Thanks for the graphic, it was inspiring. Thanks to JustAmy for putting us together. With JustAmy coordinating you, me, and NicknamedBob, we could do a Free Republic E Book.

Hah -- that Jimmy Cross -- a darkhorse candidate for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if there ever was one. And Napoleon XIV could empty a room faster than a charging rhino -- I do remember that flip side of "They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha Ha" -- if memory serves, not only was it played backwards, it was spelled that way too. The whole album was great -- "Split Level Head" and "The Place Where The Nuts Chase The Squirrels" -- music at its finest and most meaningful.

For the record, that "Carrying A Torch" etc. was the B-side of "Deep Purple" by Nino Tempo and April Stevens. Not exactly Crabby Appleton, were they? Remember they had a hit several years later with "All Strung Out Over You"?

Man, you are the source of all info. Astounding. Maybe we can discuss The Illusion sometime. Or Count Five. If you know The Kit Kats, we have to talk. Okay, work is about to start interfering with my fun time. See you later. Play other side. Hah.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Godd = good.
