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...

Thank you, wrote it while laying in bed with the flu this weekend, (temp of 101 really leaves you tied as all get out!)
Surprising what you can come up with while coughing, sweating, and grumbling like a disgruntled grizzly!

Nothing wrong with being an Olympic Junkie, (better then an Olympia (as in the beer) addict!)

Good morning, everyone!


The Owl and the Pussycat


The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey, and plenty of money.
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
The Owl looked up to the stars above,
And sang to a small guitar,
'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy, my love,
What a beautiful Pussy you are,
You are
You are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are!'


Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl!
How charmingly sweet you sing!
O let us be married! too long we have tarried:
But what shall we do for a ring?'
They sailed away, for a year and a day,
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose,
His nose,
His nose,
With a ring at the end of his nose.


'Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.'
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill.
They dined on mince, and slices of quince,
Which they ate with a runcible spoon;
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.


Edward Lear (1812 - 1888)

leaves you tied as all get out!) How kinky! LOL. Some sailors will do anything. Morning Johnn, hope that you are feeling better.

[MEG33]

LOL!

[MEG33]

Charming! Morning, Ms Feather.

[Soaring Feather]

Meg, loved the graphic you posted! So how are games going, I have not watched one episode. I know we have a champion swimmer Gold Medal winner many times over, but that is about it.

[Soaring Feather]

Mernin’ Tude, how much coffee have you had this morning??
I made one pot at 700 AM - I’ve had two cups.

[WayzataJOHNN]

“How kinky! LOL. Some sailors will do anything”

Yes that is true, hence one of the very good reason it took me 9 years and 9 months to get a good conduct medal most folks got in three years! (And it was as big a surprise to the office who pinned it on me as it was to me!)

Medal count..China has been ahead in gold all along but it looks like they have us tied now in total medals.

There are glorious successes and heartbreaking diappointments as is usual..Hoping to taper off on interest and get some sleep!

[Soaring Feather]

Ah, you are truly dedicated!

[MEG33]

Insanely..Only the Olympics would have me watching some of the sports I’ve watched!

[Soaring Feather]

I don’t suppose there is Hockey is there, that I would watch. LOL

[NY Attitude]

Good morning Soaring Feather. I need more coffee! I already went through my second cup and the cobwebs are still there. I have to stop all these late hours and early risings. Hope that all is well.

[Soaring Feather]

Well, sure all is well, I go to bed early! LOL

Retire, then the coffee drinking will be leisurely. ROTFLOL.

Unfortunately, I am like the old Dalmation Fire Dog, have to respond to the alarm bells. I have been considering scaling back to a 30 hour week (down from 80+). I do not know if my system could stand the shock. And then there is Calli. I would have to make sure that she is awake during the time that I am home. A body needs something to do. LOL.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Between now and the vernal equinox, trust anyone with freckles. After that, trust no one.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Today you will decide to have a bit of illicit fun, and will slip bits of dry pasta into other people's pockets, shoes, etc., when they're not looking. My advice: don't get caught.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Today you will suddenly and quite unexpectedly become fascinated by fishing. You'll spend all your spare time looking through lures, and will videotape all the fishing shows. Don't lose hope, though -- while there is no known cure for your condition, there's a team working on it at MIT.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

High winds today. Good day to try out your new cement kite!

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

You will become embroiled in yet another argument about crustaceans today. You will easily trounce your opponent, who will leave in a huff. He's just being crabby, if you ask me.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Today you will rescue several hostages from a life-or-death situation, using only a banana milkshake and a length of twine. Film at 11.

Libra (September 22 - October 22)

Let a smile be your umbrella, today. Tomorrow: letting a grimace be a pair of hip-waders.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

You should give your car a name, so people will be more impressed when you give them a ride. I think you should call yours "The Federation Starship Intrepid." And always do that little two-finger wave and say "engage", when you start off, of course.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

You will have a nightmare tonight, in which you find yourself dangling from the ceiling, while brightly colored paper maché animals with glowing eyes file into the room. One of them will be carrying a stick. Perhaps you shouldn't eat so much candy before going to bed?

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

Time for a career change. Have you considered the exciting and lucrative career of "despot"? One of the nice perks about that is that you can wear a ridiculous hat without people laughing at you.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)

You will hear a mysterious "whapping" sound as you are passing by a church today. Curiosity will get the better of you, and you will peek inside. To your relief you will discover it's only the nuns, playing a quick game of dodge-ball.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Tiddly wink day. Make it count.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22) High winds today. Good day to try out your new cement kite!
ROTFLMAO!

Aries: Between now and the vernal equinox, trust anyone with freckles. After that, trust no one. Now you tell me. I was kind of getting tired of playing "Connect the Dots". LOL.
