Poetry and Potpourri ........ September 22, 2003

.................................................................

The Poetry Branch has been in limbo since the prior hostess left FreeRepublic April 15th 2003. We've since learned that said hostess has lost her posting privilege. That being the case, and Jim Robinson having given his ok, I wanted to renew the thread.

FreeRepublic is blessed with many fine poets, and we look forward to seeing their poems posted on FR once again. There were many non-poet FReepers who visited the Poetry Branch for the camaraderie; we hope they will return.

I would like to invite everyone to visit and relax at Poetry and Potpourri. Hopefully you will renew old acquaintances for chatting, sharing jokes, telling stories, posting cartoons, etc. Everyone needs a place to escape from the everyday news, make Poetry and Potpourri that place.

Oops. Sorry, Dixie. There was a problem with the graphic size so I had it deleted. Sorry for the confusion, but glad to see you. ;)

PS: I like your graphic, but what is with women and unicorns? Why the fascination? (my wife was fascinated by unicorns when she was younger).

Thoroughly Modern Matthew

I'm a master of the world,
And the world takes care of me.
I got Auto, Fire and Life,
And bunches of M&D.

I don't need no preachey Bible,
To tell me what to do.
I ain't got to beg some Guy on High,
To pull me out of the stew,
'Cause I'm insured.

When I wrap my car around,
That bottle of booze I brought,
I just file a little claim,
On that piece of Faith I bought.

My prayer to the auto boys,
(Premiums up to date),
Will moot the want for a Divine Haunt,
And Bills He'd want me to pay.
So, I'm insured.

As long as I pay the price,
My homeowner's policy,
Covers fire and acts of God,
How free can a fellow be?

Ain't got to live with morals,
Follow no narrow path,
Don't need to believe no Holy See,
My penance is all in cash.
'Cause I'm insured.

I get sick, cut, shot or scared,
It's off to the medical shrine,
Gateway of the Drug Cartels,
And it won't cost me a dime.

With a final paper prayer,
To the gods of Whole Life,
I therewith relieve the Old Might Be,
From taking care of my wife.
Hey, I'm insured.

If I believe the Lord provides,
Then I got to believe in the Lord,
Who wants me to be happy,
When I'm lacking room and board.

I'll stick to a god I can sue,
With a nine digit claim,
Homage to none and MY will be done,
And never my choices blame.
Safe and insured.

Okay ...... glasses on or off? LOL

I don't know! LOL!

Actually you don't exactly cross your eyes, you just kind of stare at it until you are kind of looking through it. You get kind of like you are focusing maybe a foot behind it. You know, how you look at things when you are just staring off into space? I don't know how to explain this!

[MistyCA]

Beautiful. Thanks!

[mtngrl@vrwc]

I am so glad you guys liked it!

Well darn, I have to go to work. Have a nice day, everybody!

[MistyCA]

Nice to see you. :)

Thanks, Alamo. Amy had a great idea, didn't she?

[MistyCA]

Thank you, Archy. Just trying to get the word out about an old thread's revival. Glad you enjoy it.
