Said the fly to his mate I thinks its too late My legs they can hardly move His mate answered back Thank God for that My rear end is Battered and bruised With wings I can fly But as hard as I try A lift off I cannot achieve Believe it of not I’d rather die hot In the weather outside we would freeze That’s right said his mate We are stuck to our fate All you can do now is blether When the chips are down I always have found We always start blaming the weather [This message has been edited by Fairplay (10-04-2007 01:17 AM).] |

LOL, even the flies get lazy at this time of year. I enjoyed the meter in this Fairplay - a wonderful, whimsical flow! ![]() Best wishes, /Kit |
