Ho Hum I vacillate in what I write. And oscillate from day to night. I cannot stay a steady source Nor can I steer a steady course. Perhaps it is my way of thought The effervesce of my wrought The flimsy of my boat of sail The size of my personal whale I try but I am much too small Or else the problem much too tall I drive my wagon in the light And ride my dragon in the night. The trouble is they both are old Too cold the car and dragon bold And I can’t trust either one. It seems that way since I begun. So now you know my problems sweep Ho hum, it feels like time for sleep. |

There is nothing "ho-hum" about this lovely weave of thought, Sy ... you keep that dragon purring, and that car humming, my friend ... we love them both. Wonderful to get a chance to say good morning to you!  Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

Place another sail on the mast And grab the railing to hold fast Then perhaps a magic wind Will carry you to dreams spin Gloom |

 Randy is flying round the room snorting NO NO NO!!!! he wants you to know he's got lots of get up and go!!! He says you never needed that old car ... just jump on his back ... he'll take you far. He says to tell you this is no jesters joke ... he's ready to burn ... he's not blowing smoke. He's not hearing these rhymes of being old ... he's come in from the cold ... he's feeling bold.  He swears hes not being randy, not boastin' or braggin' ... he says beware for there is NO "ho hum' in this dandy dragon.  *ww*   |

JM, Randy thanks you much indeed. He says that he's in dire need. He says he starts but then stalls out He thinks he's lost a little clout. I saw him take some jeritol And now he's waiting for the call. LOL WWRS  |

 (sigh) Ho-hum seems like a pretty lifeless and steady expression to me, your poetry is more like yee-hah and zip-a-dee-doo-dah! (big hugggssssssss) You always have the magic in you, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (02-06-2003 08:56 AM).] |

Sy--I know this feeling, only my wagon is a flower delivery van and my dragon is a pussy cat.  |

With speedometer pegged at zero Drippin' quarts of oil My car ain't doin' to good And my dragon ain't much more than a three inch lizard found under the hood But hey, It still gets me where I need to be And liz gets us the carpool lane free |

 Seymour, this is delightful...lol Your poem, as well as the replies... And, do you know what? I was late getting on here this morning, and I lost you until somebody answered and bumped you back up to the top. I always look for you first thing, as soon as I get on here. I was beginning to wonder where Randy had took you off to, when I found you....  Hugs from Ethel |
