Well, why don’t we all sit in a circle,
And pass around a bottle,
And I will play guitar,
You, the air will throttle.
The key to our enjoyment,
Is a song, a drink, a laugh.
Let’s invite all the FReepers,
And Jim and all his staff.
Our jolly camaraderie,
Will only flourish if,
We put aside contentions,
As we pass around the fifth.
Forget Putin! Forget Clintoon!
Forget Erdogan! Forget Merkel!
Tis a night of fellowship,
As we sit around the circle.
Let Major FRiendship be our mode,
Even if our gifts are minor,
Since everything is relative,
Just don’t play a guitar if it’s made in China.
Gibsons! Fenders!
There aren’t any finer!
I play all my scales
On my cushy recliner.
And, speaking of scales,
Let’s have some class,
I want to go Phish-ing
For Tuner and Bass.
So come sit in the circle,
Pass that Fifth around,
Cuz Air guitar
Makes a glorious sound! :-)
You can tune a piano but you can’t tuna fish...............
BUT, they both have scales!
But I’m not going to fret about it! LOL!
You’re way too high strung.................
You got me pegged!
Well, I won’t be picky....................
hehehe.
I’m just stringing you along...
I’ll let it slide...............
Nancy Pelosi was a debutante
and a political dilettante
Abortion, sacred ground
She religiously did expound
To the delight of the church militant.
The woman calls herself a Catholic......bah. Too many of her kind in my church. Too many.
CINO.................Excellent!...A+++!.............
