1a - There once were some people on Godplace
2a - Some of whom had scruff on their face
3b - When someone said "razor"
4b - It's as if they'd said "taze her!"
5a - And the scruff fans all yelled "it's a DISgrace!"

There .was a guy named cheese
who felt like he had to sneeze
so he said achoo
his wig went kerploo
and then he felt the breeze

Some Folks from GP want to meet
Decided it could be a treat
Depended on newsman
to make all the hard plans
That newspaper guy can't be beat!

I have 2 cool friends called RJ

There once was a blogger named Scott
Who was often lost deep in thought
But when Sis got so dizzy
He had to get busy
And write her right out of the plot.

  I don't drink peas!  SIS does!  And she throws them at me, too!

Seth: You're a total riot!

That newspaper guy can't be beat!

It probably depends on what game we're playing.

My pretty tow'l used to be yellow
The color of lemony jell-o
In the washing machine
Mixed with black, it turned GREEN! 
Next time, sorting needs to be more thorough!

(SERIOUSLY!!)

I see this thread got moved to were we can't find it so easily

Glitch was the name that we called him
He moved all the threads--we couldn't find them
We whined and complained
But all 'twas in vain
We searched, but he'd moved them again!

[SippinTea]

I must soon leave for my job
Can't stay here and sit like a blob
I'm moving too slow
I simply must go
Or I'll face the wrath of the mob



P'raps I'd better stick to playing music.

ive decided to start writing
but the suspense is nail biting
so i quit
in a fit
and took up fighting

(my it guy told me I should do a haiku...here was my limerick response)

If I did haiku
no one would thank you
so haiku i wont
and haiku i dont
so no haiku deserves a thank you

[RainbowJingles]

That's brilliant, Minni!!!  lol

And Tia: No way will this replace the haiku thread, girl!  :-)

When Cheese gets his Attack Chickens
You'd better run like the dickens
unless you've got spice
and fry them real nice
and then, man, they are finger-lickin'!

She has posted into the far reaches
She is fruity like freshly-picked peaches
"Over forty" was hard
But now she's a bard
And she looks just like one of the Sneetches!



  When did THAT happen?!?!?!  I am finally outta the "over 40" club!  That was makin' me feel old before my time!  lol

...or not...  looks like I can still be a bard AND be in the over 40 club.  lol

No you dont....you click "Show replies to posts" and then "new" beside each thread... 

Same as before, it just TAKES you to a different spot. I have done nothing different today than any other day....since I got back from Indy that is...thanks to B.

The nuthouse's a strange place to be
Even for someone like Cheese
Those "folks" there that wed
Well, much could be said
But think I'll just let THAT mess be.
