By: Not Me I have not written in ages Although I’ve mounds of pages When they fall they dot my eye And across my tee splashed some dye From the ink in my old pen There I’ve lost the words again From my heart the ink is leaking To write them down in need of tweaking I have not written in ages Blank pages line birdcages The parrots don’t utter verses Only words of sailors curses When they poop I don’t get mad I read their work it ain’t half bad! I pay them all minimum wages They quickly fill up all the pages And although it’s all manure Its message is strong and pure To the birds I am indebted Every work here you have read it Although I’ve not written in ages My poems sprinkle all these pages And if you don’t like the words I guess I’ll hafta shoot the birds!

*lol* hmmm may try, does it work. Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

Ok Walt, I have one question. Who taught the birds to say dirty words? |

LOL, Walty, thanks for the laughs hehe enjoyed Maree I may know the word but not say it I may know the truth but not face it I may hear a sound a whisper sacred and profound but turn my head indifferent. Natalie Merchant [This message has been edited by Dark Angel (edited 03-10-2001).] |

I like how you think of a subject and jest write and CD-Rite and CD-ReWrite! I like the blank pages lining bird cages and the indebtedness (if thats a werd)to your audience. Are both your ii's dotted and are all yer tee's crossed? OK, leak some more of that ink from your heart and allow us to get smart once again from reading your art. later, ps start studying for GEOL (cruz silly erase my cookies when I'm at your house. good thing i know your password) |
