Thank you for your poem. Today is a day of infamy. Such needless, senseless suffering.
Thank you for your poem. Today is a day of infamy. Such needless, senseless suffering.
Yes, the terrorists seem to revel in the horrid pain of others.
Yes I know, that is why I chose this particular work . . . to try to describe how I feel about this hideous act against innocent people in this War on the Christian World . . . I want my British Ancestors to fight, fight, fight against this horror . . . I am positively seething!!!! . . .but am unable to put it into my own words in a poem as did you and WayzataJohnn . . God Bless you Both for being so eloquent.
Finding one's voice is a gift indeed. I had much trouble expessing myself prior to the gift of poetry's arrival.
Today you did very well . . . .;-)
Thank You. I just sent it to England.

Finding A Woman
1. It is important to find a woman who works around the house, occasionally cooks, and cleans and who has a job.
2. It is important to find a woman who makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a woman who is dependable and doesn't lie.
4. It is important to find a woman who's loving and passionate
5. It is important that these four women never meet.

Well, what got into you today??
"Well, what got into you today??"
I think I was bitten my a Silly Sod bug, as I am finding everything funny, and acute silliness is becoming way too much to handle with a straight face!
I'm just back from putting some bumper stickers on the bumpers of the ultra-libs in this pretentious burg. They drive their SUV’s and Snob cars downtown here, and park in the ramp at the local coffee shop. Here they spend most of the day, telling each other how their saving the world. A printer friend of mine prints up these stickers for me, and I raid the ramp and tag the snob cars and Hummer’s with them. Some of my favorite stickers to date are:
I voted Liberal to ruin America
Liberal and Proud to hate America
Vote Liberal and be an Elitist
Liberals Lead/Slaves Follow!
Liberal AmeriKa, Comrade!!!
As you can see, I do get in a tear, once in a while. (I’m such a Baaaaaad Boy!)
My, my, you do get the message out don't you??
