Moss o ¡No mas! A Reptilian poised shell in stagnant water watching those unseen posed its toothless horny beak to mosquitos at their speak they gathered not the time or place to stop and study natures face but buzzed along their way. Lives were not at mercy tossed The insects rolled with punches Had they gathered moss you see Crispy turtle lunches. [This message has been edited by miscellanea (01-28-2006 10:46 AM).] |

iliana, So you liked my Spanish mas! I tried to figure a way to include Spanish mas (moss), but figure it'd take too long!!! I love making word plays! Glad you enjoyed them. miscellanea |
