I have my vices,
and I pay the prices,
still I have my devices,
and what I would like is,
to serve you a big ol' slice
of this scrupmtious crow pie!

:p

    Have more than thou showest,
    Speak less than thou knowest,
    Lend less than thou owest,
    Ride more than thou goest,
    Learn more than thou trowest,
    Set less than thou throwest;
    Leave thy drink and thy whore,
    And keep in-a-door,
    And thou shalt have more
    Than two tens to a score.


    The Fool, King Lear, 1.4 (1605) :)


    I thought your poem made a good antidote to this!

    Why thank you, Fins! You're right--it does! That made me smile! :):)

    Hmmm, I heard something about a new offerring from you...*looks left, looks right, looks forward to it* :)

    How's yer noggin'? Hope you're doing well! And certainly glad that rock didn't rattle your marbles around too much--you still got it, Finster! :)

    When I first read your poem, BE, I thought - She's getting fiesty like Fins! Lo and behold, there's Fins! You silly people. :)

    LOL! Well, Ms. H, at least I'm in good company. Never been ashamed of my silliness. In fact, a palli from high school nicknamed me Silly. LOL! She'll still call up and say, "Hey, Silly..." :D

    I'm also proud member #269 of the Silly Walks Society! :p *nyuck, nyuck* ;)

    I want to be fiesty like you guys. I think I need to add more leopard print to my wardrobe.

    I have to say that finding out a bustier purse is NOT a bra with an extra space for change is worth reading all of the poetry I don't understand :D

    I really enjoyed this post and thread...thanks for the smiles! Perhaps I need to get some leopard print as well... :):)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    I read your explanation about the crow.
    having done that I understood better.
    I thought crow pei was you being vindictive as in "The crow" the movie.
    Nice reading!
    thank U.
