The naked rain dance worked!

Rain would be mighty welcome right now. Just *who* is doing the 'naked dance'?

Don't want no nekkid man running around on my property. : )

In the series "The Best Poetry Ever"

The First Kiss Of Love
George Gordon Lord Byron

Away with your fictions of flimsy romance,
Those tissues of falsehood which Folly has wove;
Give me the mild beam of the soul-breathing glance,
Or the rapture which dwells on the first kiss of love.

Ye rhymers, whose bosoms with fantasy glow,
Whose pastoral passions are made for the grove;
From what blest inspiration your sonnets would flow,
Could you ever have tasted the first kiss of love.

If Apollo should e’er his assistance refuse,
Or the Nine be dispos’d from your service to rove,
Invoke them no more, bid adieu to the Muse,
And try the effect, of the first kiss of love.

I hate you, ye cold compositions of art,
Though prudes may condemn me, and bigots reprove;
I court the effusions that spring from the heart,
Which throbs, with delight, to the first kiss of love.

Your shepherds, your flocks, those fantastical themes,
Perhaps may amuse, yet they never can move:
Arcadia displays but a region of dreams;
What are visions like these, to the first kiss of love?

Oh! cease to affirm that man, since his birth,
From Adam, till now, has with wretchedness strove;
Some portion of Paradise still is on earth,
And Eden revives, in the first kiss of love.

When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past—
For years fleet away with the wings of the dove—
The dearest remembrance will still be the last,
Our sweetest memorial, the first kiss of love.

Evening all!

I don't know what we're celebrating today, but you know I like Benny Hill. :-)



Pretty Greek Girl

Oh, listen to the story of a Greek romantic fool,
I fell in love with my teacher when I was at school.
But I knew our love could never be, she could not be mine,
For she was nearly 23, I was 39.

I went to my first dance, and I met sweet Mylene,
She had the loveliest eyes that I have ever seen.
I said, "Within your lovely eyes I could live and die."
She said, "The left one ought to suit you then, 'cause it's got a sty."

One day I was as miserable as I have ever been,
I went into a phone box to try to get in touch with Jean.
A policeman came and turned me out, I still can hear him yell,
Then he went back into the phone box, and he turned her out as well.

She's got eyes that glow like cigarettes, with ashtrays underneath,
And when she bites her fingernails, her mother hides her teeth.
But she wouldn't let me marry Jean, she said it was because
She thought I was effeminate, and compared with her I was.

So come, my pretty Greek girl, come and dance with me,
Shine upon me as the golden sun shines on the sea.
Fill my lonely, eager arms with your sweet ecstasy,
Oh come, my pretty Greek girl, come and dance with me . . .

That looks awful Tipper looks as if she is trying to get away from him. Though I have heard about "the Kiss" that is the first time I have actually seen it.

Somehow I picked a picture with drool. Sorry about that, though no doubt he was salivating over the free publicity the "Big Kiss" would bring him.

Good evening, Victoria.

Thanks for bringing us another Benny Hill.

How was your day?

We were gone part of the day. Marissa's brother had oral surgery this morning. When Marissa got home from school, we picked him up and brought him here. He needed to stay quiet for the rest of the day. He had four front teeth coming in. They removed one but the fourth is fused with one of his permanent front teeth. Will just need to wait to see what it looks like and what the options are.

Oh Snugs. Your graphics are just beautiful.

Are you using your new software to make them?

I need to find some more time so I can practice. I'm jealous.
