         A word to the Wise

I washed my pride in the tears of my bride
And hung it to dry by her side.
But she wrung it through a manglers ride and
That was the down of the up side.

Now she has turned me a lower backside
Even though I tried and I tried.
So when I wash it's on the ebb tide and
That is the up of the down side.

As to the moral of this tale,
Wash your wash in your own wash pail.

Seymour, is this "airing your dirty laundry"?
Your poem glides now pass the Tide.

take a word, what was heard
turn it wise, and in my eyes
a poem by Sy, reasons why
I learn who's wise, through Sy's eyes...

Yes, Sy, very funny in the whole of it, but this section is priceless:

I washed my pride in the tears of my bride
And hung it to dry by her side.
But she wrung it through a manglers ride

===================================

So the Rose of your suppose...
is keeping ya on your toes
This sounds like the work of Randy to me
did he break out od his cage and fly free
Me thinks your dandy dragon has you in the dog house again
You better take your medicine like a man, this game you wont win
Put Randy back in his cage and write her a pretty poem
Tell her Randys to blame, sometimes he needs to roam
If the poem doesnt work...give her a *winkiewinkie*
No one can resist the charms of Randy and Sweet Stinky
   LOL

OH..and you need to change the title of this to a A Word FROMThe Wise

Dulcinea,
Thank you so much.

Voiceless,
Seperate wash pails that's what it's all about.

Ariana,
Worse than that, I had to do my own wash there too. LOL
