out of pearly Bill Gates then
iCloud windows crash
when pearly bill's gates are closed
and angels dare fear.
Just an aside: My angels feared to rush...

For fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Distrustful sense with modest caution speaks,
It still looks home, and short excursions makes;
But rattling nonsense in full volleys breaks,
And, never shocked, and never turned aside.

Thank you for playing, Karren. I remember when poetry flourished here and now the posts either die or are dier.
The fresh faced may not get it and Old Geezers are past it.
here's to the new
who may not get what we do
and the oldies who don't even care

Now, that brings back very fond memories of the shampoo and conditioner thread from awhile back (which began with a list, as I recall...).solongleonard wrote: ...here’s to the shampoo

False or forced; modesty is not a word I would associate with you.solongleonard wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:56 pm
you have persuaded me you are right and have forced modesty where this is normally false modesty.

You are right
I have always meant to ask you this. I am sorry it is in public but, of course, there is no private message service on this forum. What is the real story about you and Norman? Your signature above suggest to me that there is an identity crisis going on for you and I hope it is both major and interesting.Karren B wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2017 11:20 pmFalse or forced; modesty is not a word I would associate with you.solongleonard wrote: ↑Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:56 pm

Modest; expressing a moderate estimation of one’s own merits or achievements… (Yeah right! ) Diffident, bashful, retiring… (Stop me if you recognise any of these traits )… decorous in manner and conduct, (ok I’ll give you that one) … moderate or restrained in amount, extent etc. not excessive or exaggerated…
Apart from all that I doubt if you could be persuaded by anyone!
I am tempted to save and quote you, when you wrote ‘You are right’ and use it whenever I need reassurance… but I would never do that!
'Being ‘Norman’ is not necessarily a virtue; it rather denotes a lack of courage!
