Your pink rose is so pretty, Amy - I think I will 'steal' it! LOL

We gotta watch this gal, don't we?! Not only a graphicsholic - but a song thief, too. :)

Thank you for the precious poem and graphic!

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Billie.

That graphic of President Bush is one of my favorites.
It seemed to go so well with the poem.

Thank you for the use of that and the other's that I stole borrowed.

Hope you are having a wonderful day.

[JustAmy]

I'm off for pre-school orientation ..... I'll be back after lunch.

Have a great day, everyone

You have a lovely day, too, Amy. :^D

Ladies, your Summer reading is now available.


Outlandish!

Tell Me More

A dollop of monster Frankenstein, a dash of Peter Pan,
Who, dangling like Pinnochio, can never be a man.
Who is this creature? Tell me more. What is his rending tale?
Can gentle nature win somehow? And can his love prevail?

A factory of serving sons, and loveless incarnation,
Presented for a pittance price, subject to all temptation.
Can love exist in this low place? And can love ever die?
He does not know he should not love, and therefore, he will try.

The binding of his heart to those who use him as a tool,
Has welded loving to his chains, and makes the master fool.
Short-changed of any manhood, and yet he stands there, proud.
Surrendered to all dishabille, encircled by the crowd.

He is a fabrication, his world a nightmare dream.
A gentle touch, his sole defense, soft voice instead of scream.
He does not know he should not love, or is he right to be,
The gentle answer turning wrath, and setting more souls free?

The answer to these questions, is shortly to be found.
I’ll take you on a journey, beyond conventions bound.
You’ll get a chance to know, for your command will be my wish.
This is a story you can have, I call it Outlandish!
