The Dragonflies'Lair~Thread LIV
The Poets of The Lair | July 1, 2008 | Soaring Feather

Posted on 07/01/2008 3:19:08 PM PDT by Soaring Feather





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...

You must be downright proud of the Cubbies, winning 2 days in a row.

Yep. How about some chicken fried steak with gravy, biscuits, hash browns and a side of grits. Not to forget the copious quantity of dark and rich Columbian coffee

I use only the freshest ingredients. So, I will go out to the farm and get some fresh eggs, milk and the main ingredient; beef. Meanwhile, I will take my laptop with me so that I can still remain in contact with the Lair while I am driving.

“Good morning WazataJOHNN. How is today going after yesterdays turmoil?”

Long walk(!) to the coffee shop, especially pulling my computer bag along like a wandering child! (I need to get wheels for it soon.) Truck is likely a write off, can’t afford to put more into the pump then we owe for the vehicle! Mostly, timing was just so bad, between rent and truck and meds and gas, and only one of us working at present we’re stretched thin like a table spoon of butter on fifty slices of toast! I went out and took a walk to cool own and sat on the bench looking out over the lake and relaxed a bit, then some anti-smoking Nazi stops to tell me that (after war, irate husbands, even more irate boy friends, and some parents wanting their daughters, girlfriends, wives back, car wrecks, motorcycle wrecks, diving accidents, parachute jumps, rock climbing, drag racing, working as a cowboy and working my way around the world doing things I’d never had any training at) my cigar was going to kill me! I do hope he understands that in my present mood, making it a suppository for him while still lit was simply all too likely to happen!

After that, I did feel better.

Okay, that answers it. I hate to chase food around on my plate. It can get pretty dangerous with the fork continually stabbing at it to hold it down before cutting.

Remember, milk only from happy cows.Don't take your eyes off the road to use the laptop.

Lets just say I wasn’t going to burn my fingers poking it in! I really hate such idiots, I’m a big boy, I can make my own decisions and I can live with my own mistakes.

I did tell them that as I was old enough to be their grandfather, I would have told their %%$$##@@ parents to abort ‘the little liberal’ and save decent people from stupidity and having their day at the lake ruined by a perfect example of why there should be retroactive birth control!

I see now that I ought to have taken my flask with me and perhaps a few sips of ‘amber lightening’ would have cooled my rash mood.
