~Write Right~ I'm smiling now and saying, 'hi', Before I blow this mood sky high My friends, now that I have you here There's something I'd like you to hear I find the english language odd And often find myself quite awed I sometimes even feel disgust After the language I've discussed It really makes no sense you see That one should see the deep blue sea Or look up in the sky so blue And feel a gentle breeze that blew Some spellings are so hard to bare I'd almost rather fight a bear Before he struck me with his paws I'd simply ask him, 'please', to 'pause' I WILL say, should you send me mail Feel free to Fed-Ex me a male At very least, he'd help me haul The boxes stacked up in the hall And please inform when I'm the one It could be I've already won I love the english language, but Sometimes it simply pains my butt You ask, 'is there some rule you know?' I simply have to answer 'no' To master english is a feat You may find, in your mouth, your feet Which could, in fact, injure your heel But, not to worry, it will heal So, here's the end of my lesson My goal, confusion to lessen Thank you so much for stopping by And, now it's time to tell you, 'bye' [This message has been edited by vlraynes (03-25-2003 10:17 PM).] |

 Language is confusing, that's my principle Either I'll follow the rules or they'll call the principal! (giggles in delight) This is so entertaining, sweet friend, oh my gosh, this MUST be in Reflections so all poets can see exactly your point, hehehe! (kiss on cheek) I love this, sweet friend, you have my tongue-twisted vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Vicky, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

This is cute and obviously intended to be light in tone, so that little bit combined with the fact that you don't have a critique flag leaves me inclined to reserve all criticism for... maybe MSN sometime...  A very lovely little project of yours. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

LOL, Vicky....you sure did write this one right. I love the poem and the replies, too. LOL Heart Hugs, Ethel (I wanted to right something cute, two like Chanson did, but if I get started my reply will get sew long that it might take up two much space. We want to keep piece, on the forums, don't we? LOL) Sorry, Tricky Vicky, I couldn't resist. LOL  |
