Stillness settles o'er the field where the throngs are now amassed T'will stongly test their mettle as they joust unto the last The Knights of Passions order thrust their pages now aside And write outside the borders trust that words will true abide To instill a sense of wonder o'er both foe and maiden fair Spill of ink as hooves a-thunder quoth from heart-felt image shared With lance of wit held sharply poised to deal the final blow One takes a chance and lowers it with recognition his eyes glow "Why doth we fight to prove a point on which we all agree ?" "Sweet maidens fair of Passions site anointed by gods must be !" (Ahem ! Sir Balladeer , Perhaps 'twould be best if ye were to buckle that swash . I'm quite certain they said "chivalrous" not " shriveled thus "! |

To impress or not to impress, 'tis a question fair, To get them maidens swoon, with knight's caress so rare... Interesting point, Dr. Moose, very interesting... regards, sudhir My heart is pounding, my stomach's inside out I'm feeling kind-a-shaky, my mind is full of doubt All I ever think about, is fearing fear itself, Wish I could unscrew my head and put it on the shelf Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Don't know what I'm looking at, the lights are all too bright My brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor Sweep 'em up. Throw 'em away, don't want 'em anymore Clouds race across the sky, day turns into night, Still there are the questions, no answers in sight Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight, Starin' out the window, everything is just too bright Brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor, Wish I could unscrew my head, and kick it out the door... You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange ~ Strange ~ Joe Satriani (Flying in a Blue Dream) |

Sir Moose... no better words could one state. Most excellent. I bow to you and yours and would gladdly bestow the crown of PIP to you were I able to steel it from the almighty Ron.  Ahhh... its good to be back. |

Dr. Moose, thou hast indeed penned a thought-provoking poem and cast a challenge to one of Passions own! So now, good Balladeer, a challenge has been made Wilt thou accept, or art thou afraid?? Superb Dr. Moose!!! ---------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
