Hmmmmm, you both got a head start. As i'm wading through all my email, i'm thinking of a time frame - and you two got ahead of me. i am still able to work (don't know for how long) so i'm just reading my email now. i get very little sleep, and since my doctor has me on a pretty strict schedule, i'm up before time to take meds-- i admit i'm a little stiff and my fingers don't hit the right keys-- but i am fortunate to be this way so far. jp i think bern just blew us away with his 'curse of the wind.' that wasn't exactly the topic i was thinking of bern, but it gave me a really good laugh when i needed one. let's see what else we can come up with. do you guys want to continue this off-list so we won't bore the others? i have been reminded that 1900 other people don't really want to read my verses. so it might be best if we conduct this off-list. also, jp & bern i have some web addresses for writers and poetry you both would find helpful. might be a good outlet for you both. i've been told writing is good therapy. anyway, let me know. and i promise to have something for you tomorrow. i just didn't expect you guys to be so quick. anyone else care to join us? bk At 05:04 PM 11/29/00 -0500, you wrote: >At 20:21 2000/11/29 +0100, bern wrote: > >The Curse Of The Wind. > > > >The curse of the wind, > >The Baked Beans were tinned. > >It just had to go, > >So I let it blow. > >My apologies to all, > >For having a ball. > >Beans are natures gift, > >They work exceedingly swift. > >So if I should smell, > >Or am as loud as a bell. > >It is not my fault, > >Too many beans and not enough salt. > >I do not have to run, > >Although I am as loud as a gun. > >And if I have sinned, > >It was The Curse Of The Wind. > > Bernard Shaw. > > > >Peace in every sense of the word.
