PRATTLE I drivel here, I drivel there. I pen my prattle everywhere, And truly hope that what I say Will make some sense to me today. For if I can't enlighten me, How shall the sundry ever see? I'll jot my thoughts where e'er I go My tablet's filled before I know. So leave I shall, my quill o-penned; And writely prattled spill to fend, I'll then peruse the words I wrote. Perhaps my drivel's worthy quote. ![]() [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 02-02-2000).] |

At last! A poem written just for me. Thanks Nan Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

Nan what a wonderful poem I thought of me when I read it, sometime's the words just keep going through my mind no matter where I am or what I'm doing and I must write it down straight away or it's lost forever..Tracie ![]() |

Nan- This is so cute. Nice to see a lady in the frozen tundra maintaining a sense of humor. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

What a wonderful poem (and sense of humor) I couldn't post some true drivel here, but it is somewhere else. (needed to shake up 'ole Brian, hopefully was worth a chuckle.see "Profile") |

What seperates the drivel from the deep Is what the words in reader's heart inspires; What part it gleans from secrets spirits keep, And how it chimes with innermost desires -- In this, your "prattle" might be called profound, So brightly burns what you considered faint; For even in your most "discordant" sound, Dear Lady, I have yet to find complaint. ![]() (Um -- and yanno, they have bibs for that dribbling thing ... or was that drivel..? ![]() --Kess ![]() Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |
