Feeling partial to Neil Young today
Neil young
Lets roll
I know I said I love you
I know you know its true
I got to put the phone down
And do what we got to do
One is standing in the aisle way
Two more at the door
We got to get inside there
Before they kill some more
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll
No time for indecision we got to make a move
I hope that were forgiven for what we got to do
How this all got started I'll never understand
Hope someone can fly this thing and get us back to land
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll
No one has the answer but one thing is true
You got to turn on evil when it's coming after you
You gotta face it down and when it tries to hide
We gotta go in after it and never be denied
Time is runnin out lets roll
Lets roll for freedom
Lets roll for love
Going after Satin on the wings of a dove
Lets roll for justice
Lets roll for truth
Lets not let our children grow up fearful in their youth
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll
Time is runnin out lets roll

contrary to the aspersions you both cast on xspup's maleness, he does NOT like men. he will not menace a woman coming into the yard (many of his friend's "moms" come and play with him while walking them in our neighborhood) but any male that comes in the yard has some snarling going on at their heels.

Try this. A limerick in french using the WFTD.
Onze Septembre, les vies garder,
Bon hommes mortant pour liberté.
Je suis revanchist,
Demander justice,
Pour mauvais, le guerre sans pitié.
Au revoir, mes amis mort! Nous, les vivant, garde la foi toujour.
(Good bye fallen friends! We, the living, will keep the faith forever.)>
