Depends on when Snippy will miss them, I suppose. Maybe she can miss them while she's asleep.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Well I stole them from midday 11:30am to 1:30pm. But if she isn't looking at a clock when it happens, she'll think that those two hours went fast.

Thanks for pinging me Sarge~ I'm glad your muse has been around lately -- I've been enjoying your stuff!!

I love this place Ms. Feather!! Thanks for keeping it going!!

[Soaring Feather]

Oh boy, I failed your flippin' test!!

LOL

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Star!! Thank You for the lovely words.

It's the poets who keep The Lair running not me.

The Boy and the Flag

Author: Edgar Guest

I want my boy to be the best,
I want him to be great;
I want him in Life's distant West,
Prepared for any fate.
I want him to be simple, too,
Though clever, ne'er to brag,
But, Oh! I want him, through and through,
To love his country's flag.

[Conspiracy Guy]

You didn't fail. I graded you with a 75%

[Soaring Feather]

Oh good, that makes me feel grand. :-)

The Boy and the Flag

Author: Edgar Guest


This is a wonderful poem. Short, to the point and so true.

[Conspiracy Guy]

One's ability to take a test proves one's ability to take a test.

"Knowledge without application is pointless and a waste."

[StarCMC]

And, because I can, I've GOTTA Post this -- have you seen it before?? It's one of my faves for scrapbooking....



Crowded Tub

Author: Shel Silverstein

There's too many kids in this tub
There's too many elbows to scrub
I just washed a behind that I'm sure wasn't mine
There's too many kids in this tub.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Trivia.... What is the origin of the underlined portion of this saying? "Good Lord willing and the Creek don't rise".

[Old Sarge]

That's FUNNY! Thank you, Star

[Conspiracy Guy]

Did I share this with yall? Me and Laura Earl on our wedding day.

[Soaring Feather]

LOL I have never seen this before now!!

[Soaring Feather]

Oh thank you so much. Laura is beautiful, a handsome couple..

[StarCMC]

**whistling!!**

Glad I stopped by the Lair today -- you two look GREAT together!! :o) HUGS!!

[Soaring Feather]

"Good Lord willing and the Creek don't rise".

Oh my goodness. I don't know this. Well, I'll guess, in times past they had to cross a creek to get to church-thus the adage-and the creek don't rise??
