NO TEARS



I do not want your tears
When comes my time to go;
A little wine (champagne is fine)
Will be more apropos.

And then I'd much prefer
A funeral quite small,
With flowers few (rosebuds will do),
Pallbearers? . . . none at all.

The service should be short,
The music never sad;
Some Bach to start . . . of course Mozart .
Vivaldi? . . . I'll be glad.

I wish no eulogy,
No mournful sacrament;
Some comments terse . . . a bit of verse .
. . And I shall be content..
John T. Baker

Thanks for the history lesson, bentfeather. I knew he was a sheepherder, but I didn't know he founded over 200 churches.

Good morning Miss Feather . . . thank you for the Irish haiku.

An Irish Blessing

May the saints protect ye-
An' sorrow neglect ye,
An' bad luck to the one
That dosen't respect ye
t' all that belong to ye,
An' long life t' yer honor-
That's the end of the my song t' ye!

Happy St. Patricks Day, bro!

[Mudboy Slim]

I'm about headed out the door to Nags Head, NC to watch hoops, drink heavily, and FReep some songs I enjoy listenin' to...life could be worse. Heck, if one of my buddies has internet access, I may even FReep a bit til Sunday!!

LOL...Lib'rals SUCK...MUD

[Mudboy Slim]

"No Sympathy for the Lib'rals"
(To be sung to the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil")

Please allow me to introduce the World...
To the Left, they feel no shame!
Been around here for forty long years...
Stole many a man's Hope and Faith!
Fascists in Power when Jesus Christ...
Bore our crosses and bore our pain.
Made damn sure our Savior...
Wouldn't threaten their Evil Reign!
Please believe me...Lib'rals are to blame!
Despite their righteous talk, more Power is their aim!!

They saw their chance in St. Petersburg,
When they saw the Monarchy had been shamed.
Killed the Czar and his ministers...
As well as any Man who could think!
They rode the tanks in Heil Hitler's ranks...
When the blitzkrieg raged and all Waco stank!
Please believe me...Socialists are to blame!
Oh, yeah! Bloody failures, yet, they seem oblivious to shame!

They cheered with glee helpin' Pol Pot succeed...
Led by Hanoi Jane, their hands are bloody-stained!
They shouted out, "Who killed the Left's Elite?"
While slaughterin' all who just wished to breathe free!
Let me please clarify myself, these Elites have wealth and "taste"...
But their attacks on Liberty...have become a National Disgrace!!

I swear to you, DemocRATS are to blame!
Oh yeah! But what's puzzlin' me is their arrogant lack of shame!
Ah, yeah!...Go out and get 'em, boys!!

(kewl guitar jammin')

Please believe me, Slick's tyrants are to blame.
Oh yeah! But what's important now is imprisonin' Bill in chains!!!
'Cuz the Prez'dent's just a criminal...and all his critics Saints!
While I could call Slick "Lucifer," I'll exhibit some restraint!
When you see Slick, show due courtesy...
But have no sympathy, 'cuz Bill's a snake!
Condemn all his corrupt politics, or be ashamed to show your face!!

Pleased to meet you...Mudboy Slim's my name!
Uhm, yeah! Bringin' Clinton down is why I must serenade.
Uhmm, I mean it...Get out...Yeehah...Resign!...Get on out, BOY! Ah, yeah!

Tell you Country, Lib'rals are their name.
Tell you, voters, it's something you can change!
Tell us, Willie, where's your shame?!
Tell you one thing, Slick's to blame!!
Ooh Hoo! Ooh Hoo! Wahoo! Alright! Ooh Hoo Ooh! Ooh Hoo Ooh! Ah yeah!

FReegards...MUD

And I learned about the reference of snakes.

Isn't it a curious thing there have not been snakes in Ireland's history. Except of course, for the reference to the Satan, serpent snake.

[Soaring Feather]

Thank You for the Blessing.


HUGS

Hope, I hope (hehehehe) the vines cooperate with you today
the sun is warm on thy back as you burn the grapes of wrath
and the moon to light your path at night
and God's precious hand on thy child in a foreign land.

God Bless You.
