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

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.

Hi, Amy!

I'll risk one post on the computer at work to say this, I might be "cyber" grounded right now and can only lurk until I get a new modem or a new PC whichever comes first but please put me on your ping list for this thread.

Hi, Misty and Victoria and Louie and Lori and everyone else.

Hope to be posting again soon!

Thanks, JustAmy. :)

One of my favorite pastimes is writing "spoof" songs and/or poetry... I'll try to think of something good. :)

[SassyMom]

WOW! What a GREAT new addition to FR. I'm not a poet, but I do enjoy reading poetry. Thanks for giving us a place to come and relax from the business of the day.

[SassyMom]

Thanks Jen for the ping. This will be a nice place to come and relax! Have a great day!

[JustAmy]

Welcome to the new Belv, Sassy.

Come by and share a joke or a story. It is great to see you again.

[Darksheare]

I'm always about.
Somewhere.
But where is the question.
Of course I'll come in once in awhile, if nothing more than to drop in and see what's going on.

Jerry Falwell was seated next to President Clinton on AirForce One in 1999. After the plane was airborne, the stewardess came around to take drink orders.

"Mr. President, we are serving drinks from the bar now, what would you like?" The President said "In honor of Hillary running for Senate, I'll have a Manhattan"." The stewardess left and returned, and placed the drink before him.

As Clinton was taking a sip, the stewardess asked the minister what he would like to drink from the bar.

The minister replied in disgust, "Ma'am, I'd rather be savagely whipped and beaten by a brazen whore wearing leather undergarments and spike heels than let liquor touch these lips!"

The President quickly stopped sippping and pushed his drink back toward the attendant and said,

"I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a choice, I'll have what he's having."

And if you ever get the chance to board the Orient Express for real, you really MUST!

I saw a program about the Orient Express on the travel channel, I think. It is definitely on my 'to do' list. I'm sure it would be the trip of a lifetime.

[Jen]

Sassy!! It's been ages since I've *seen* you at FR. {{{{{hug}}}}} Yep, I too think this is a great thead and am so glad JustAmy started it. Still working on my poem... How about you? ;-)

Hey! We can post our dollz and logos here! WooHoo!!

[dansangel]

You are *cookin* ((((((Carlo))))) - in more ways than one! :-)
