Ever read something that made you smile, made you go 'awww'...then when you thought about it a bit more, 'hey, I think I've been slammed?'.  ROFL  Ok, well, at least you said dummies and Duncan, not dummies including Duncan.  
Yep, I'm in...though, I'll have to get back to you with an idea.  
Oh and notice who's first to class Teachyone.  Yeah, and it's even Saturday.  
Where are those slackers...wake up boys and girls.

Does that mean I have to write a poem about Duncan, or a poem about dummies, or is it the same thing???? ROFLMAO. Sorry Duncan, couldn't resist there!!! And look at the brown noser showing up first to class. Did he bring you an apple too teach????

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

First day of class and we've already got a troublemaker.  Marge, Titia, Cindy, where are you?  You're supposed to be protecting me.  That girl called me a dummy, I think...

I, taking this class seriously, as Teachyone likes us to do, had this thought.  What if we each picked a type of poetry and wrote a poem, with a bit of a lesson attached, explaining the form, it's origin, how it is accomplished, etc.
Just an idea, may have already been done.
And btw, I brought Nan the whole appletree.
So there, Tracey.

Hey Dundun I'm here to protect you. Lucky for you I got back in time from my meeting today with all the sheeppeople.

Now, let's see:

Do I write a combination
Underlined with explanation
Mixing Duncan with a Dummy
My oh my that would be funny
Is this really a request
Eagerly I will do my best
Sure teach Nan do count me in

Hey Duncan, don't run from them girls, it ain't cool and it messes up your hair . I'll cover ya buddy . As for requests, I prefer to be challenged by letting someone else pick, otherwise I'd just pick something easy.

Hey Titia, Doc----Glad ya finally got here.

I like that idea, Doc.  Is there a thread somewhere, that may help with choices?  
So is this what we want to do?  Where is everybody?  Oh yeah, I forgot, it's Sunday.  

I sure hope this doesn't mean I have to sit on Walts lap.  Hey, maybe Tracey could be the dumm...I mean the lucky talking puppet.

Hey Duncan!
I'm here, would you stop running away from me? I'm trying to protect you here!  Hey can I have one of those apples from the tree?  Teacher Nan, I must still be in World Series bliss, cause I'm not sure if I understand the assignment or is there one yet?  Dummies and Duncan? I think I'm the dummy she's talking about duncan!
I'm in Teach!

Sorry folks, I won't be joining you this month since I'm in the middle of moving my stuff to a new apartment, not to mention the painting that needs to be done! I'll be back A.S.A.P. though, with paint still in my hair! Ummm perhaps I'm allowed to suggest Limericks (in anapestic) for this class? The subject and form seem to go together very well.  
Just a thought! Just a thought! No need to start throwing things! ~running for the door~ I'll be checking in from time to time!
