Good morning cotesweet ... I hope TMP and I don't get accused of highjacking this thread! We're innocent I tell ya! LOL


Highjack all you like - as we found out from yesterday's thread that migrated from the sublime of Browning's Love Among the Ruins to the ridiculous Unknown's Ode to a Pizza , anything goes .

Good Morning Everybody.

Maypole Song


Rise and greet the morning sun, my kind and gentle knight,
Golden dawn has risen, the darkness taken flight.

Green and purple dragonflies dance in the meadow's glow,
Leaves shiver brilliantly in autumn's windy flow.

A chipmonk sits so patiently upon the oak tree's base,
Waiting for the gentle one to wake and show his face.

The horses stamp impatiently, the birds practice their songs,
Waiting for the one they love to wake refreshed and strong.

Rise and greet the morning sun, my kind and gentle knight,
The world is dark and scary still, but you will make it right.

J. Goodman

I got this from EDS from Free Dominion (aka NorthernRight) last night. I think it is priceless! It was seen just outside of Fort St. John, British Columbia.

MAY


Oh verdant temptress, dressed in green,
Makes me forget old winter's scene;
Of northwind blowing its loud gale,
With sleet and snow, of cold and hail.

Your yellow daffodils make me
Forget the churning winter sea;
Your forest clumps of sweet morels,
Obliterate December chills.

Young calves who frolic in the dale,
Dim the thoughts of winter's gale;
Dandelions dressed in yellow,
Make thoughts poetic, always mellow.

You jezebel! Your lies sublime
Destroy my memories of time!
Your promised days so warm, serene;
Belie the winter, wild and mean.

Your morning showers do often drench
The Earth's desire to be quenched;
Your evening breezes so sublime,
Remind me of an older time.

The robin's early morning song,
Wakes me to days both warm and long;
The cardinal in evening's breeze,
Sings Mother Nature's symphonies.

Oh May, you have so captured me,
I fear no time that I'll be free;
Nay, let me linger in your arms,
Enamored with your many charms.

Long let me lie beneath your soil,
My days long past of earthly toil;
That I may gaze upon your trees,
My soul inhale your evening breeze.


Michael J. Larkin

It is not Always May

The sun is bright,--the air is clear,
The darting swallows soar and sing.
And from the stately elms I hear
The bluebird prophesying Spring.

So blue you winding river flows,
It seems an outlet from the sky,
Where waiting till the west-wind blows,
The freighted clouds at anchor lie.

All things are new;--the buds, the leaves,
That gild the elm-tree's nodding crest,
And even the nest beneath the eaves;--
There are no birds in last year's nest!

All things rejoice in youth and love,
The fulness of their first delight!
And learn from the soft heavens above
The melting tenderness of night.

Maiden, that read'st this simple rhyme,
Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay;
Enjoy the fragrance of thy prime,
For oh, it is not always May!

Enjoy the Spring of Love and Youth,
To some good angel leave the rest;
For Time will teach thee soon the truth,
There are no birds in last year's nest!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Was lurking on a thread about old cars over at Free Republic. A poster named Anamensis posted this poem about his first love. No title. I think it's great. Here it is.


I had me
a 73 Vega
All rusty, crusty bronze
with big white patches
where the scabs fell off
and the leathery, vinyl sunburnt skin on the roof
peeled back in strips
and flapped all free
when I really let 'er rip down I-63.
The windshield was cracked
and the old beige seats
erupted from boils
in the cracks of the seats
where the mildew grew
but the drive shaft was fine
from what I could see
through the hole in the floor.
Oh I loved my crusty old Vega,
her rear end wobbled like a hoochy-coochy dancer
but it didn't bother me;
I couldn't see.
That Vega didn't have no
rear-view mirror.....whee!





Your assignment (should you choose to take it), is to come up with a title.

Evil weeds in the garden invade,
With silent predatory roots
Encircling the life earth’s love has made
Smothering dreams of her tender young shoots.

Yet still in morning’s garden blossoms hope
Drinking light beyond weedy finger’s grope
_________________
NOT A haiku FOR A SATURDAY NIGHT

Did someone order pizza?
You owe me twelve bucks.
One large pie, no anchovies…

VENUS IN VEGA RISING, of course.

Any requests?



If you would please,
Play "Kitten on the Keys",
I get to feelin' such elation,
Whenever I hear that syncopation.

So bang away those eighty eights,
With a beat that really syncopates,
And just in case my twostep lingers,
Launch right into "Dizzy Fingers"

Hey everyone

Keep the home fires burning. I am going to have to leave for a while. I will be back later this afternoon.

Have fun. Be good.

I know, I know.

Cote,

Have a wonderful time in the Stang!!!

Wish I was there to tear up the highway with you!!

Hey Hey Broken,

Where were you about 2 hours ago with that Stang?
I had to walk to do my errands!!!
Just like a cowboy never around when you need them

I went and got all pretty for you. Ask MBY. And you want to say I'm not there for you. I'm hurt! I think it's going to take some time for this heart to mend, or some real good cooking.

Well Cote, seems I've been cast aside. How about you and me hit the range? Your stang or mine?

I love those! Saw them earlier in another place, ahem. I tried to copy and send to friends but I couldn't. It gives me the flag that say there is no application to open it.

It isn't like she cast you aside. She just cast you down a bit. You know nothing about women.

He does look really nice today. Cleans up real well. His outfit almost perfectly matches the cowboy in the little GIF.

Awwwwww gee whizzers I didn't mean to break your heart!! Awwwwwwww!!!

Broken, don't take it so hard, I don't know what day of the week it is!

This should give you a clue about my mental state today!!!

I saw a commercial the other day with a guy in it that looks just like BA. It was a progressive.com commercial, and the guy was at his computer with a broken arm (hah, BA, broken arm), and wished something, and his apartment got all jazzy with nice lights and a dancing gnome-thing. Then his roommate turns into a beautiful girl with a pizza. Well, the guy at the computer looks a lot like BA. Could be his evil twin in fact.

I need to go home before I'm in trouble again.

Well, since you have to go by my desk to get out of here, I think it would be best.
