Ah Letty, curried horse, a fine delicacy that will give you the trots, if not the gallops.

Well, John. The world is a carousel of color; At least that's what Walt said.

Please don't change your avatar,
'Cause it still shows us who you are.
And when you do go round about,
Take a pint of Guinness Stout.
Stick quite closely to the rail,
Or you'll end up in Reading Gael.

The hamster
He is so strong
And wise along
He's in no doubt
He'll clear that pout
And when he does
He looks up,
full with glee
The hamster is happy

When a hamster has gone up ones leg, one knows, oh yes one knows.

Also true for a corgi.

Could Freddie Starr eat a corgi?

Do you like babies?
-Yes, but I can't finish a whole one.

Sorry Letty

McTag, McTag. Tsk tsk. Shades of Swift's Modest Proposal. Never had a corgi nor a hamster run up my leg, but I did awaken one night to a mouse on my pillow. It didn't take these legs long to get out of bed. Laughing

Seeking adventure, or what I get into,
Whether good or bad, I do not care,
For whatever happens, musta, been meant to, Cool

I made another one for my avatar (more about me than my avatar):

In nature,
sits the wonderfull one,
that will lift your spirits
into the sun.
He will mystify, and mystify
even after you will die.
He'll sit there,
pumping ions,
thinking of
those cryptic thoughts...

And when he comes out
he'll finally
solve those riddles.
those slippy, slappy,
sincere riddles;
those cryptic bogglers,
those 'fusing thoughts,
and says "That's what
I ought!"

At the end,
he'll sit right there
thinking, solving, and
many more, until
he drops to the floor.
And die he will
of old age,
but those sincere riddles
he thought about,
those weird puzzles,
that he inspected with
his lovely snout,
the thoughts he thought,
the words he wrote,
the sounds he spoke,
those will always be preserved
in his heart, and his mind,
and his spirit.

The tiger,
no matter where he is right now,
people will remember
and so will thou!


Comments:
pumping ions - pumping means weightlifting, and when you think, you exchange ions in your brain. That explains that.
'fusing - is abbreviation of confusing
Tiger - The last paragraph starts with tiger. This is my initials, where the vowels stand in just to make it sound better:
Tiger --> TiGeR --> TGR --> TechnoGuyRob

Boo, loved that bit of verse. Laughing

Hey, man. Who you callin' old girl? Smile Or was that John whathisname? :wink:

Hey, Guy,
Pay no attention to those two blokes. They've got their eyes on Christine. Laughing

I read your "ode" several times and came away with the sense of esoterica and gossamer-- Beautifully arcane, Guy.

Thanks Letty Razz
Was there a bad part in my 'ode'? It's always better hearing it from someone else.
