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...

...Humor Break?

Subject:  Help Wanted

The insurance firm  put a sign in the window saying "HELP WANTED.  You must be a good typist  and have good computer skills.  Successful applicant must be bilingual. We  are an Equal Opportunity Employer."

A short time later a lovely golden retriever dog trotted up  to the window, saw the sign and went inside.  He looked at the receptionist and  wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it, whined and pawed  the air.

The receptionist called the office manager.  He was  surprised to say the least to see a canine applicant. However, the dog looked  determined so he led him into the office.  Inside, the dog jumped up on a chair  and stared at the manager expectantly.

The manager said, "I can't hire  you.  The sign says you must be able to type."

The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter and proceeded to quickly type a perfect business letter.   He took out the page with his mouth and trotted over to the manager, gave it to him, then jumped back up on the chair wagging his tail.

The  manager was stunned, but told the dog, "That was fantastic, but I'm sorry.   The  sign clearly says that whomever I hire must have computer skills."

The dog jumped down again, went to the computer and  proceeded to demonstrate his expertise with various programs.   He produced a sample Excel spreadsheet, a sample Power Point presentation, retouched a picture with Photo shop, and then printed all of them out for the  manager.

The manager was dumbfounded.  He said to the dog, "Listen, I realize that you are a very intelligent  applicant and have fantastic talent, but you're a dog!  There's no WAY I can hire you!"

The dog jumped  down and went to the sign in the window and pointed his paw at the words, "Equal  Opportunity Employer."

The exasperated manager said, "Yes, I know what the sign says.  But the sign also says you have to be bilingual."



...The dog looked him straight in the eye... and  enthusiastically said... "Meow!!!"

I want to put you in the movies, son!

[Seadog Bytes]

Oh, actually, it was the "Morning has broken" one I was referring to... Great picture!

(We're out in the 'sticks'... so I'm still leaving the music downloads to others... those who are connected to the internet with much 'bigger pipes'... grin)

[Soaring Feather]

Ah, well I got to thinking about it and figured I had things hind side to. Thanks.

Doh, Spring Fever, LOL.

[Seadog Bytes]

Thanks! ...That is TOO funny!

[Seadog Bytes]

"Hind side to...?"

Don't worry. If the 'literature' is any indication, I don't think
ANY of us is likely immune to that...
     

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, too funny. Thanks.

[Cindy]

First laugh for the day.

THANKS Seadog Bytes.

[Soaring Feather]

Good night everyone.

[Seadog Bytes]

RE: "First laugh for the day." ...???

No, it's a good day.

Laughing at this.

Good morning Tomkow, did you put the Peacock in the Palm Tree?

Sunrise on the Hills
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


I stood upon the hills, when heaven's wide arch
Was glorious with the sun's returning march,
And woods were brightened, and soft gales
Went forth to kiss the sun-clad vales.
The clouds were far beneath me; bathed in light,
They gathered mid-way round the wooded height,
And, in their fading glory, shone
Like hosts in battle overthrown.
As many a pinnacle, with shifting glance.
Through the gray mist thrust up its shattered lance,
And rocking on the cliff was left
The dark pine blasted, bare, and cleft.
The veil of cloud was lifted, and below
Glowed the rich valley, and the river's flow
Was darkened by the forest's shade,
Or glistened in the white cascade;
Where upward, in the mellow blush of day,
The noisy bittern wheeled his spiral way.


I heard the distant waters dash,
I saw the current whirl and flash,
And richly, by the blue lake's silver beach,
The woods were bending with a silent reach.
Then o'er the vale, with gentle swell,
The music of the village bell
Came sweetly to the echo-giving hills;
And the wild horn, whose voice the woodland fills,
Was ringing to the merry shout,
That faint and far the glen sent out,
Where, answering to the sudden shot, thin smoke,
Through thick-leaved branches, from the dingle broke.


If thou art worn and hard beset
With sorrows, that thou wouldst forget,
If thou wouldst read a lesson, that will keep
Thy heart from fainting and thy soul from sleep,
Go to the woods and hills! No tears
Dim the sweet look that Nature wears.

[Soaring Feather]

Quote for the day.


"I've learned from experience that the greater part of
our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions
and not on our circumstances. "

Martha Washington

[NY Attitude]

Good afternoon Soaring Feather. It has been a rough day. Just woke up and the coffee is still brewing. .

[Lady Jag]

If thou art worn and hard beset
With sorrows, that thou wouldst forget, ...
Go to the woods and hills! No tears
Dim the sweet look that Nature wears.

Beautiful!!

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Lady, how are you?

Glad you enjoyed the poem.

[Soaring Feather]

Good afternoon to you NYA. I have been busy as a bee, baking and cleaning.

Hope your cob webs are blown away by now.
