Way back then when time began The Lord created all. He filled the Earth and universe With creatures great and small. Amoeba to tyrannasuarus Came by His command And Earth was blessed with living things Created by His hand. He worked six days, the Good Book says Then rested on the next And though it seemed He did quite well He really was perplexed He said, "Saint Peter, I don't know... With everything Earth has There still is something it could use To give it some pazzazz!" The peacock was quite beautiful. Gazelles were blessed with grace. The lion's smile was filled with style Upon a regal face. But He still sighed, dissatisfied Then smiled and said with glee, "I'll make pefection!" That is how Our Mushy came to be. She shared her soup with Alley Oop, Designed the leaf for Eve, The Tower of Babel was all her Idea, some believe. When Noah did his very best To keep the ark afloat For forty days and forty nights.. Just guess who steered the boat! Some people think she built the Sphinx And all the pyramids While rumor has it she's the one Who breastfed Pharaoh's kids. Throughout the course of history Some species came and went But Mushy's indestructible Because she's Heaven-sent. The dinosaur will roam no more It up and disappeared. The Do-Do bird? Gone! That's absurd! Well, it was kind of wierd. The sabre-tooth? Gone! That's the truth!!! So is the unicorn But Mushy is still going since The day that she was born. So, on this day we join to say Best wishes to this lass Who's blessed us in so many ways With charm and style and class. Let's raise our glass to her, enmasse And fill her with our cheers With hopes that she will live to see Another million years!  |

You are ever so right, for her to tell me to write about the Phoenix and then about Persephone, why who indeed would have known she had been around to see?! Happy Birthday, Girl! |

’Deer dearest heart Oh my I knew you were good, but I never knew you were this good. To write such utter fiction about me and make it sound believable YOU have to be the best. I’m not denying I was there you understand I’m just saying it was more that I was the fly in the eye than the oil in the engine if you know what I mean. Wonderful pressie darling boy as always sheer poetic perfection, unlike me who couldn’t do perfect if it fell on me. Truly the line and flow in this is absolutely excellent Thank You a poetic reply I could write a rhyme packed with praise galore Or say you’re wonderful and mean so much more I could offer to bake a cake to show you I’m sweet Or say that reading you is a perfect poetic treat I could blow you a kiss from across the deep sea Or say that I’m awed by your skill with poetry I could make this simple and say Oh I do thank you Because in this instance it is utterly utterly true Your use of metre is unsurpassed my dear friend And I ask that you continue to write without end You spread delight and happiness with every word You make poetry a thing felt as well as heard Never before has starlight settled on a page like this It’s like being enclosed in light or an angel's kiss Whether sad or happy written short or long I will ever want to listen to a ‘Deer poetic song To say thank you that’s not enough for this treat This is a delight that is more than merely sweet A poem that had me laughing with sheer delight It brought magic and gaiety into my wondering sight You are a master of your art that much is clear And I thank you for this my marvellous friend ‘Deer A friend of skill who delights and entertains me I thank you so much for my wonderful poetic pressie Marsha You do know I love it don’t you? Mmmmmm it is utterly utterly excellent  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 [This message has been edited by Marsha (01-20-2002 06:35 PM).] |

Deer, you got her in one...except I'm not sure comparing her to gazelles is a good idea...galumphs maybe. And Mushy, do I wish you happy...mmmmm you know I do, everyday of the year. Keth. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
