I looked out the window and happened to see, A dog cock his leg by my willow tree, At wetting the tree he was quite adept, And that is why the willow wept. The bee is such a busy soul He has no time for birth control, That is why in times like these, There are so many "Son's of Bees" |

You have it all wrong. The tree only was weeping cause it saw you peeking and knew it not to be long before Toerag was out leaking. |

Well, Toerag, I can't begin to top the other comments so I won't try. I thoroughly enjoyed the read though, a bit of Ogden Nash in your groan. He's one of my favorite 'silly/serious' poets! |

This was great! I LOVED it! ~Susie Many people hear voices when no one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up in rooms where they stare at walls all day. Others are calle |

Weeping Willow The willow weeps for you, my friend It’s graceful limbs in sorrow bend And from the dainty teardrop leaves A weeping whisper in the breeze The willow sways it’s arms around That gently brush the summer ground And as you sit and ponder there It’s requiem drifts through the air For weeping is the willow’s part To comfort your unsettled heart Whenever love has set you free Come sit beside the willow tree It whispers sighs the seasons through Today it’s weeping just for you You inspire me, dear friend Liz |

Welcome back, stranger! You brought smiles and inspired a beauty from Elizabeth... (though now that I know why the tree is weeping, sitting under it isn't quite so inviting! LOL) Thanks for explaining the whys and the wherefores so well, Toe... Now couldja stick around? *G* |
