~Flipping The Bird~  You flipped this bird right off his perch I’m hanging on by twig of birch I’ve always done just what you asked I mimicked you with every task And now you leave me hanging here I ask you why ~ I want to hear Could it be something that I said What was the reason that you fled I only spoke the words you taught And echoed back your every thought I was your puppet on a stage Ventriloquist’s dummy in wired cage So, come back, dear ~ don’t fly the coop You’ve really thrown me for a loop What’s that you say ~ you went for seed I should not worry ~ there’s no need I thank my lucky stars you’re back While in your care, I nothing lack You are the wind beneath my wings You are the tune my bird brain sings You’ve flown into my little heart I knew I loved you from the start So, read my beak ~ I’ll tell you true The bird you flipped has flipped for you ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 08-31-2001).] |

Vicky~ This has got to be the cutest thing I've seen in a month of Saturday's ! Your vivid imagination, creativity, and downright insanity is an absolute delight to me~ Is it any wonder we stay up half the night laughing back and forth ?????? Well ... for YOU half the night - for ME the whole darned night~ It's already printed out ~ and will hang in the aviary room~ Now I think I've figured out why DG~ calls ya' Tricks ! LOL ! Girl ... you rock the pages ! You are one flipping chick~  Love ya' bunches and bunches~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Like this lots, Vic. I see it as the comical side,as it apparently is meant, and also as the sad woman afraid of being left no matter how hard she tried to please. Very interesting. Sandra |

Oh my sweet Vicky do you hear How could you do that to me dear Exposing me here like a fool Swinging on my playing tool I just was showing off for you And you let people watch me do Oh dear oh dear I should have known To maturety your mind has never grown But I'll love you sweety for being you Keep in the laughter is what you do Actually I'm proud being subject to your wit So I think I'll keep hanging here for a bit TitiaA rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

Hey, Phoenix lady, fly to me, My sexy, sultry chickadee! Flap those flipping feathers south.. Paste a smiley on my mouth! You're robin me of sanity With all the things you do to me. Wing your way here and I will bet It's something you will not egret! I'll gladly swallow all my pride To have you winging at my side. A cardinal sin 'twould be, indeed If our love were to go to seed. Oreole me with your touch My limbs are needing you so much. Migrate to me and then perch-ance We'll build our love nest of romance! I took the road less traveled..now where the hell AM I??? |

Sweet Balladeer I'm on my way Can't wait for you another day My wings are set on turbo boost I'll be there soon with you to roost I'm looking forward to the time we're beak to beak in lover's rhyme To stay with you in feathered nest Would simply have to be the best So open wide your wings of love I'll see you soon my turtle dove We'll be the sweetest lovebirds known When straight into your heart I've flown Titia, dear, you flatter me To have me in your library It makes me smile each time I see Your name on a reply to me. Lady In White, he left indeed And I was hungry with no seed But he's returned from golfer's land With lots of birdie treats in hand.
