They say the words you steal from one
make you a plagiarist
But, "borrowing" from many is
just "research", that's the gist

of this, my little rant today
which I'll attempt to save
by stating what we know is true
that all my rants get raves

George Carlin put it this way folks
more "research" and not "theft"
Just 'cause the monkey's off your back
don't mean the circus left.

Sunshine,
Thanks lol, just my little take on a serious subject. I got to thinking, here I am paraphrasing all these lines and working them into poetic form, but, in doing so am I not doing a disservice to some of the original authors? Now I've got to go back and make sure to give credit where credit is due. Ah, the trials and tribulations of trying to be a humorist.
Doc

Serenity,

Doc

JL,
Thanks, just hopin' my musings continue to be amusing without steppin' on any toes ('cept maybe Toes' now that he's back, lol.)

(((click, click, click)))

Had to push you back to the top.

After all, you did say:
"by stating what we know is true
that all my rants get raves"


You need more raves...

Well, Doc, I don't know if you're doing a disservice to the original authors but you're definitely doing one to whoever created English!!

Balladeer,
Lol, I think you're just jealous 'cuz I can get away with it for a laugh. Besides, I did make some comment a while back about us having to wallow around in our own ignorance for want of proper instruction in the "Workshop".
