When I Fall Banana skins have filled my path And when I fall I take a bath I have not suffered physically But mentally it’s bitter tea. Perhaps I walk a greasy road And croak too loud much like a toad I do not mean to stir the breeze Perhaps sometimes a little tease But teasing is a fine fineness Unless it’s right it turns a mess And there you are you slipped appeal You humpty dumped and broke your seal So I’m clumsy what can I say? It seems to happen every day Hard as I try I slip and slid It’s at a point I can’t abide. Once broken it’s a different song And makes no difference right or wrong. |

My humpty's dumped on me a few times... scrambled eggs, anyone? Bananas on the side, in cream. Toast and coffee at your request. Raspberry Tea a must... Good morning, Sy!  |

Gee Sy...and I just had scrambled eggs for breakfast!  Now about that bitter tea? Wasn't from me I hope. How about some Chai tea today? ~Hugs and smiles along the way~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Could this poem be any cooler??? me thinks not. Love the twist you put on the nursery rhyme theme Sy-babes. As for the teasing...every dragon has his day *winkiewinkie*  |

JM, Yes, every dragon has his day. And Randy thinks it's time to fly away. How about some tea for two Somewhere near the zoo. WWRS |

I love this Sy. I am one who can insult someone, just by paying them what I thought a compliment; diplomacy is not at top of my list of how to make new friends...ever egg on my face. And some of my observations would have been best left unsaid, for having read them later I am sure I didn't say that, did I? What was I thinking!!??? Throw in a genuine Gracie Allan personality and strange sense of humor, and there are days I shoulda stayed home... Ah, well....such is life for us all... Thank goodness we have your poetry to recenter us all. Hugs, Pat |

Banana skins have filled my path And when I fall I take a bath I have not suffered physically But mentally it’s bitter tea. Seymour, I know this in more ways than one...LOL And this is so cute...... Perhaps I walk a greasy road And croak too loud much like a toad I do not mean to stir the breeze Perhaps sometimes a little tease But teasing is a fine fineness Unless it’s right it turns a mess And there you are you slipped appeal You humpty dumped and broke your seal So I’m clumsy what can I say? It seems to happen every day Hard as I try I slip and slid It’s at a point I can’t abide. This gave me some much needed giggles today......along with Duncan's reply. And, isn't Bill sweet? Shoot, I knew I should have read you first this morning. It would've made me feel better......it always does.  And Randy is so cute, too.  Heart hugs to you, friend Ethel (and thank you for your kind offer in your reply to my Tear Drop poem. I really do appreciate you and all your support.)

I do not mean to stir the breeze Perhaps sometimes a little tease But teasing is a fine fineness Unless it’s right it turns a mess How right you are! I just got through having a friend roast my very prime ribs for exactly this..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

You do know you've written my theme song, right??? LOL I've even been called Gracie... and those folks were NOT complimenting my poise! LOL I love this, Seymour! *S* And Duncan's croak and Ratleader's prime rib just added to my grins. *G* |

(big hugggssssssss) Yes indeed, there's nothing right or wrong behind it all, the only moral is how you're going to get back up and how the kings horses and men are going to serve! (sigh) Marvelous, dearest friend, one of my favorites I've read of yours, 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 |
