My Dragonfly 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...

Okay, I yield.

[Soaring Feather]

I had a bowl of frozen Raspberries with a little sugar, yum.

[NY Attitude]

Those are tasty and good at any time of the day.

[Soaring Feather]

My favorite berry.

[Lady Jag]

We’re going to chill out tonight, too. It’s 59 now. I love this weather.

[NY Attitude]

bilberries and blue berries are good for the eyes.

[NY Attitude]

Good sleeping weather indeed.

[Soaring Feather]

Good sleeping and breathing, but Lady it’s chilly! I have to wear my fleece gown tonight. I always have two comforters on my bed year around.

[Soaring Feather]

Heck, I thought it was carrots.

[NY Attitude]

Bilberry and blue berries increase the visual acuity at night. The British used to give this to the air crews before going on a nighttime bombing mission.

[NY Attitude]

Hell, that almost reminds me of a line on Spike Jones’ record “Chloe”.

[Soaring Feather]

Spike Jones was funny.

[NY Attitude]

Yes he was. Leiberstrom, Dance of the hours and My old flame were some of his best. Do you remember Kay Kaiser and Ishkibibble?

[Soaring Feather]

Do you remember Kay Kaiser and Ishkibibble?

Just the name Kay Kaiser, not familiar with the last name.

[Soaring Feather]

Good night all!

[NY Attitude]

I spelled his name incorrectly It is Kay Kyser and his College of musical knowledge. If I remember correctly Kay Kyser woud mention Ishkibibble on his radio shows.

[NY Attitude]

Ish Kabibble
- Everyone’s heard the name, but from where? Ish (Merwyn Bogue) got it from his comedy version of an old Yiddish song, “Isch Ga Bibble” (loosely translated, it means “I should worry?”), which he performed after joining Kay in 1931. The public (and band) began calling HIM Ish and the name stuck. Raised in Erie, Penn., the fine cornetist developed the rural “Ish” character with pudding bowl hair, who constantly interrupted the show to recite nonsensical poems to a frustrated Kay, becoming his onstage comedy foil. But he was no dummy offstage- he handled the payroll! Ish stayed with the band ‘til Kay’s retirement. He then went on to a solo career, sold real estate, and played Vegas with his fine Dixieland outfit, The Shy Guys. LSU Press published his autobiography written w/ his sister in 1989. No book has been published on Kay himself. Ish died shortly after Ginny in 1994

Good night. Rest well.

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone!



"If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awake - Aye, what then? "

-Samuel Coleridge

Good morning Soaring Feather. What? Does this mean we are not living in paradise? If not, my bubble has burst.
