Antics Where are the antics flighty gay? The ones that molded yesterday Where is the nonsense fenced my head? Those of day and not of bed Where’s the strength powers this maw? Spit in the wind and danced on the floor. Oh where oh where is the power and awe The blade and shield that challenge the door Where is the shela with eyes gleaming sheen? That played in the noon light on grasses of green Where is my shield my sword and my horse? Where is my lance my words of discourse? They all have turned to gray and dismay Left me shriveled and old in display And all that’s left are dreams in the dust And skeletons left in my attic to rust So take me back to the days of yore And let me be that fool once more. Even if it were in seem Even if it be in dream Wake me not to yet explain It is a dragon I have slain. [This message has been edited by Seymour Tabin (02-22-2004 10:54 AM).] |

Yes I know what you mean Seymour I'm feeling it too with each day that passes. I really enjoyed this, just a chance to be careless again as when we were young. Well done Seymour. |

Yes Sir Knight of days of yore, of valiant deeds of explore. Of chivalrous thoughts displayed in search of his chosen maid. Write On Sir SY, write on.... |

Oh Sy, just do what I do, and change the ol’ oil now and again And maybe the fuel, and water pumps every so often... Then again, I did put a whole new engine in last month And my transmission is starting to slip? Oh... and my tires are getting bald, except the spare one, that needs a little air let out! Now my headlights are a little dim, and my left blinker just lights up, but doesn’t blink I think I blew a fuse? But other then that... Dang! I still got another go round or so left... Hang in there Sy They’re getting 2, 3, even 400,000 miles out of us ol jalopies now a days... Just remember to use unleaded Helps with the backfiring... ! ... |

So take me back to the days of yore And let me be that fool once more. Even if it were in seem Even if it be in dream Seymour, aren't memories great to have? Then we can have good dreams. Hugs Ethel |
