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 me...

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...

Advertising poem from 1859

Step up ye gallant fair and brave!
Step up, Torn, Jake and Kate,
Unto my store in Norwalk town,
In Main Street, number eight!

In Main street, number eight, good folks
Things very cheap are sold,
To fat and lean, to rich and poor,
And to the young and old.

It is the cheap Cash Store, my friends:
At J. W. Renoud's, please call,
And find things sold at reason's fee,
To one, to ten, to all!

Yes, find things sold at reason's fee,
Bread, butter, candles, cheese,
Salt, Onions, Crackers, Coffee, Brooms,
And choicest, best of Teas!

Sugar and Allspice, Flour and Pork,
And matches, not the kind
The young folks often, often make,
So pleasing to the mind;

Theirs will light up their future hopes
And gratify desire!
While mine on a cold winter's day,
Will soon light up a fire.

There's Yeast, Molasses, Eggs & Ham
Not Ham, of olden days,
Who lived with Noah in the ark,
And sang sweet sacred lays!

No, this is Ham that fills us up,
And gives us strength to work,
And flog the French, the Spanish and
The Russian and the Turk.

I've fine Codfish, Mackerel & Starch,
Tobacco, choicest brand,
And Ginger, Pepper, Chocolate,
As good as in the land,

And Blue and Oats, & Colgate's Starch,
Made from good Indian Corn
And fit for Shirts of any man,
Of any woman born.

But oh to name all things I keep
Would puzzle even Mars,
But I must not forget to state
I sell the best Segars.

And come my friends my goods are
cheap,
True, true, what I relate,
All kinds of Groceries you'll find
In Main Street, number eight!

J.W. RENOUD.
Norwalk, August 16th, 1859

Sorry Colonel, I forgot to ping you this morning.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning, Sam!

A wonderful poem and graphic today! This man was clever to combine poetry and advertising as a selling tool.

Good tunes today.

Thanks

Morning!

Three Years Later




It’s been three years since we all saw,
The sneak attack unfold.
The cowards killed the innocent,
But fear did not take hold.
We mourned the lost and then set out,
To stop these creatures vile.
We knew the fight would not be quick,
No this would take a while.
Yes just three years have passed since then,
But many have forgot.
They think that we should just come home,
They do not think a lot.
Some say, “Respond if we’re attacked”,
They did not learn a thing.
If we sit back and wait again,
More horrors it will bring.
We can’t forget, we can’t back down,
We must maintain our stand.
Yes, Nine Eleven happened here,
Not in some foreign land.
Please pray for peace and for our troops,
For freedom they do fight.
The Lord will guide us through this all,
If we follow His Light.

It's okay. :) I'm having fun watching CBS implode. How about you?

[Soaring Feather]

Hi, Colonel,

I am fine thanks. Been busy with typesetting duties again this afternoon. Finally have the booklet ready to go to full committee. Up to this point the chairwoman and I have been doing the heavy lifting-well, mostly me. I am the typesetter and designer.


I have been reading the CBS threads here at FR. I can remember watching CBS years ago and believing everything they said. Ugh, can not believe I did that. BC before cable news.

Actually Iam finding this whole Cbs thing a bit amusing
how many of you remember When George Bush Sr. was running for president and Dan Rather grilled him over the coals on several times,but my favorite George Sr comeback was when Rather asked him where he was durin the contra fiasco , and George Sr answered the same place you were for those ten minutes of dead air time when nobody knew where you were,now we all know Dan Rather was making up future documents after all he surmised the Bushs would be a presdential dynasty....

[Soaring Feather]

Hi!

I do remember that episode very well and I cheered George Herbert Walker Bush for the quick come back at Rather.

Nice to see you again.-)

Your dark eyes feast upon
the colors of desire
a love scene framed
a masterpiece
behind your closed eyes

Nice. :-)

[Soaring Feather]

Thank you, Sam.

I'm sorry the song I posted in the FOXHOLE did not play.I had that on my profile page and had to take it off.:-(

[SAMWolf]

Don't worry about it. It happens to me all the time too. ;-)

[snippy_about_it]

I guess we'll be needing an advertising poem. :-)

[SAMWolf]

Good Idea! You're to poet, when will it be ready?
