Marry,
Funny and true.
Thanks

am trying to become a cerebral poet of distinction so tht I will receive long expostulations in convoluted language about the nuances of the phonetics that accent the dramatic elements and the esoteric allusons to fatality in life

Good one, mary
Mary C Legg Sep 4, 2006, 4:06pm EDT

It makes me itch just to consider it.
Mary C Legg Sep 4, 2006, 6:35pm EDT
well-- there hs to be a bit opf realism in this world with all those simulationists running amok, don't you think?
John L. Sep 4, 2006, 7:44pm EDT
My god you mean a real bug was harmed in the making of this poem??????
Thanks, I got a good laugh out of this one. Not that I am anti bug....just anti bite.

I admit I m not always a pro-life person, there are times when I fall into mortal sin and I suppose this is one.

love the loons..how can I learn to add my own pictures to my articles?

Great idea
Mary C Legg Sep 5, 2006, 6:44pm EDT
they is very perplexed coots, not ducks-- and they act like old coots, too. they sing almost as nicely as a split bassoon reed
Mary C Legg Sep 5, 2006, 7:06pm EDT
not ducks, not loons, but coots-- agreed that coots are probably as crazy as loons, but we say the person is an old coor and not an old loon, but we say that the person is looney and ought to go to the looney bin


and if not sure of this, read

Thurber and his famouus story about a unicorn...

and I'm sure that Thurber will clarify the difference for you for the rest of your life... have no idea where my Thurber is other than one of 43 boxes in the next room

so much better with the link!
kissing your fingertips as always.

I hate simulating anything--it's so much better to be the real thing, don't you agree?
