                            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 guides we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and I...  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...  bentfeather© |  |  |  |  |

Good Morning ping Sam!

    Good morning flurry! 
 
Ohhh my goodness, I'm sorry about the thoughtless remark I made regarding the piece you wrote. I thought it was someone else's work that you had seen someplace and you were using it as an example. 
 
So thoughtless of me. :-(

    I wasn't offended. I was being playful ; )

    Good I'm glad I didn't offend you. :-) 
 
It's a fabulous day today! 
To: bentfeather
    As you can tell by my work I am not a serious person. I wrote this, this morning. 
 
Treason 
 
The dems all hate her every move, 
Theyd like to see her dead. 
On Free Republic everyday, 
Shes on at least one thread. 
Not freeping but the topic of, 
Discussion by the masses. 
Most freepers like her points of view, 
Except a few dumbazzes. 
Bill and Hill cant stand her guts, 
We all know they have reason. 
They cant stand Ann Coulters book, 
Exposing them for TREASON.

    Flurry, that's so good!! 
 
I love it! Unfortunately, she, Hill, is my State Senator. 
 
I was sick when she elected by a few dopes.
To: bentfeather
    Some one asked me if I could write greeting card poems this morning so I wrote these two. 
 
Get Well Soon 
 
I hope youre feeling better now, 
With all the cutting done. 
Lying there in bed is tough, 
I know it isnt fun. 
But now its done and youll get well, 
And back to things that matter. 
Im glad the doctors fixed you up, 
But what is a gall bladder. 
 
Flurry 10/2/3 
 
 
Cataracts 
 
Im glad youre seeing better now, 
But surgery seems silly. 
I guess Im just a simpleton, 
A dummy, a hillbilly. 
It seems to me if you cant see, 
The Cataract is nill. 
Id trade that gashogg in right now, 
And get an Oldsmobile.

 IN THE 1960'S OUR COUNTRY CALLED
 HER SONS AND DAUGHTERS ONE AND ALL.
 TO A TINY COUNTRY ACROSS THE SEA
 TO HELP THE PEOPLE BE FREE.
 IN THE JUNGLE SO TALL AND GREEN,
 TO FIGHT AN ENEMY OFTEN UNSEEN.
 MOST EVERYONE SAW THEIR BUDDIES FALL
 THEY DIED AS HEROES AND GAVE THEIR ALL.
 WE GAVE OUR BLOOD, OUR SOULS,
 MORE THAN ANYONE WILL EVER KNOW.
 WE FOUGHT A WAR NOT ALLOWED TO WIN,
 BUT IF ASKED TO WE WOULD DO IT AGAIN.
 OUR GOVERNMENT SENT US TO THIS PLACE,
 WE CAME BACK HOME THEIR WORST DISGRACE.
 TO A TIME OF PROTEST IN OUR LAND,
 BUT ALL WE DID WAS MAKE A STAND.
 OUR COUNTRY SHUNNED US FROM HER GRACE,
 HOW WILL WE EVER FIND OUR PLACE?
 WE'VE TRIED AND TRIED, BUT WE HAVEN'T YET,
 BUT WE WONT GIVE UP
 CAUSE WE'RE JUST VIETNAM VETS.

    Sorry about the music. It seems the site that I used to get the morning music from disappered over night.

    I wrote this yesterday about a new birth for a freeper on WFTD. 
 
Announcement 
 
Welcome to the earth this day, 
I know youll like it here. 
Smile at mommy, poop on dad, 
Hell even think thats dear. 
At seven and three quarter pounds, 
We know you are a keeper. 
Your mom and dad will love you so, 
Each day it will grow deeper. 
So take good care and grow up strong, 
Be real nice to your mother. 
And if youre really lucky, soon, 
Youll get a little brother. 
So let us say were glad youre here, 
You picked a lovely day. 
To join the Dupa Family, 
Little Margaret Mae

To: SAMWolf
    Thank you SAM. 
 
We'll never be able to right the wrongs done to our Vietnam Veterans. Sad. We can only thank them now and hope it isn't too little too late. 
 
Bummer about the music, hope it's only temporary.

    I'm glad I came to the thread. Good find. I was a Viet Nam Era Vet, (served stateside 72-76), I reserve the term Viet Nam Vet for those who went over there. But I experienced the public reaction to men in uniform firsthand. It was deplorable. I didn't have to add the trauma of real war to that. I wrote a poem about Viet Nam many years ago as a therapeutic excercise. I can not find it. I need to write a new one. It will be my next serious project. Believe it or not I do get serious on occasion.

 i cannot rely on dreams
 i must make my own reality 
   
 i cannot rely on others
 i need to make my own decisions 
   
 i must strive to create my own happiness
 within the window of fate designed for me 
   
 i can only direct my own actions
 based not on other's responses to those actions 
   
 i may not get the response i desire
 and therefore find disappointment 
   
 facing this reality can be difficult 
   
 it's easier to dream
 of what might be based on what i imagine 
   
 i must be careful in this endeavor 
 to find my own road
 my own place in this world
