My Cradle Ship I asked the wind to blow today To task my cradle soft in sway To wing me through the ocean blue And bring me back to land I knew. She stays me long my mistress sea By touché and her bribery In swoons and little sprightly gusts In tunes that stir my manly lust With velvet nights and gem full skies She lured me with her gentle sighs. And brewed me in her revelry Till blue and green was all I see. She is a shrew when she is mad And brews the green to freighting bad With waging toss and lightening floss And raging seas of chaos force This ole of a sirens hand Stays me with her contraband. |

She stays me long my mistress sea ~*~ brine that sings the song of thee where the wails are salty, true, and the poet's chant is long in blue... [This message has been edited by Lady In White (11-26-2002 09:53 AM).] |

JM, I see Randy has made himself right at home with you. His own chair and trips and God knows what else. I don't think he wants to come home even for the football. LOL Glad you are getting to go to all the places you wanted to see and thank you for thinking of me. By the way only one pictue came through in the email I could not recieve the other email. You seem to be having a good time on the beach. WWS since Randy is there. Deb, Glad you enjoyed. |
