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 guide
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...

But dearest sis, you "don't count" as an adventure, but an accepted hazard of the job.
EXCEPT when you're having rock brained lunks run in circles looking for me while I stand and watch them look for me, or when you're having me *ahem* 'dispose' of annoyances..

[StarCMC]

oooh! Scary!! You two are related! LOL!! Nice to "meet" you - are you as warped (in a good way) as your brother??

Good afternoon to everyone at the Lair. It's warm and a tad humid here in Oregon, just finished grocery shopping and now it's time for a break. ;-)

[snippy_about_it]

The Original Star Trek series was good. Didn't care for any of the Spin offs. My wife loved the Voyager series.

Like minds. I only liked the original.

[Soaring Feather]

Oh yuk. it's wet overcast and dreary here. Don't you just hate grocery shopping, I do.

Ode To Spot is a poem that Leiutenant Commander Data wrote and recited in the episode "Schisms."

Ode to Spot

Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.

A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.

O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.


Data, "Schisms"

Good afternoon, ms feather.

[Soaring Feather]

LoL Now that is a good cat poem.

I tried to get into the Data and that bunch, but they never held the magic of the cast of Star Trek.

[Soaring Feather]

Good afternoon Kathy, thank you for the lovely Pansies.

[SAMWolf]

I tried to get into the Data and that bunch, but they never held the magic of the cast of Star Trek.

Yep, the only good part about the later series was the technology for doing makeup and special effects.

[snippy_about_it]

Don't you just hate grocery shopping, I do.

LOL. It's different out here with Sam. Shopping goes by lickity-split, especially if you have a list. Sam just grabs the items and before you know it you're in line ready to check out! No chance for shelf shopping, just git and go!

I tease him about it but I really do spend less that way and he's so much fun I can't complain.

[Darkchylde]

Well, I'm more "normal" than he is...
Does that count?

[StarCMC]

Hmmmm..... I'm thinking that's not saying much! LOL!! Seriously - he cracks me up! Glad to have met you!

[Soaring Feather]

Converging lights
a scene crossed a canvas
white breath turned
to steel
on red lips

[StarCMC]

I know people like that! ;o)

BTW - Josh Groban is on Jay Leno tonight!

[Soaring Feather]

Good nite poets

May the sweet aroma of Lily of the Valley
fill your dreams
caress your face
tenderly lull you to sleep
in the safety of knowing love...

~ Dream a Little ~ Love a Lot ~

I remember the color your hair was...
the color of spiced rum
With memories of you
walking without me
in gentle oriental rain
Left me with dreams
of being lost in your embrace.
The peace in your eyes
shone through
I was lost, lost
in your eyes
..........lost
in your embrace...
Dreams of you at Indian Twilight...

We're The Riders



It's a thankless life we lead
‘cause nobody knows our names.
We are silhouettes on the hills
and shadows on the plains.

What we carry runs the nation
and we execute our duty well.
We're the Pony Express riders,
the boys that carry the mail.

We've been shot at and ambushed,
chased down and almost kilt,
soaked through and frozed,
survived heat that made us wilt.

The food is a little scarce
and the pay is hardly scale.
We're the Pony Express riders,
the boys that carry the mail.

We're all excellent horsemen
and the mustang is our ride . . .
the wilder and faster the better
to get the job done in stride.

An oath we all took in earnest
and made a promise not to fail.
We're the Pony Express riders,
the boys that carry the mail.

You could say that we are brave
and we have all been scared,
but mostly we're just too young
to know what should be feared.

Racing time and the telegraph
out here on the lonely trail . . .
we're the Pony Express riders,
the boys that carry the mail.

Good morning, Sam.

Good poem, guess I never thought about Pony Express Riders like this. They did have a rough life.

Tried to play the tunes, all code. :-( Thank You for Breakfast.
