A Real Lady would not refer to a man of that distinction as a "thing". Get a grip...

Oh woe and thrice woe. To be redused to 'thingness.'

An inanimate object with no personality! Sniff-sniff.

But wait!! at least I'm not several inanimate objects with no multiple personalities. Woohoo....

"Albert! break open the Chatoo Nuff du Pup and dig out my old Nina Simone cd's, you know the ones? she recorded them when she was old."

What joy, what bliss, what the hell am I going on about?




"MATRON!!!.........."

Oh hi C2,

That was a nice tribute to Joe that you wrote. How many years in the pen do you people over there usually do for Copyright Infringement?

Byron: Go back to bed, I'm getting tired.

Oh! And what's your problem with Nina Simone. Are you nuts or something?

Some 'thing' !! There you go again.

I used the play on words around Nina's musical output to encourage a more cosmopolitan response from learned contributers, but if certain ladies keep falling asleep, I cannot be held responsible for the plague of three-legged, one-eyed, kamikaze, pieballed ferrets, that even now are hurling themselves from a glider, once created in the loft of the Colditz Prison camp, onto the unsuspecting public who ski across the wide open spaces of Wizziconsin.

My conscience is clear, as is my mind and my bank acount.

Albert! what have you done with my money? Not more flamin' kittens?

yes, i'm nuts. shhh....

Hi Nan,

It's a shame about your missing the deadline. Your poem was a good one. You should post it in a seperate thread. It will get lost in all the banter here. It is well worth reading.

Hi Isobel,

I think Nan did post it somewhere. I could be wrong, but I'm sure I saw it in one of the threads. Good poem, indeed.

Byron, I re-read your dread post and did find something of a connection betwix Ms. Simone and the rest of the things you said. Time to pop open a bottle of Chatoo Nuff Sed.

Thing is an 'empty' word. When you become old and infirm (such as yourself) and begin to forget the true meaning of another word you simply say thing instead. That way, everybody thinks you know what you're talking about.

See how easy living can be?

By gosh, I thing she's got it!!

Isobel,

Nan's poem is on the previous page.

No Byron, you got it. The biscuit, the cookie, the treat for my wake-up tea. I found bear hair in the carpet.

Yes, Linda, you're right that it's on the previous page. However, it's on the same thread as C2's tribute. Isobel's suggestion was that Nan create her own thread for posting it. Hence, it'll be the very first thing on the thread, and won't be lost within it .

I agree that this is something you should do, Nan. Meanwhile, C2, I can't believe you would actually miss a deadline! Wonderful lament, nonetheless .

You're right Lady Liz, Nan should post in her own thread in the Poetry Place. This isn't the poetry place, is it? I get lost when I follow topic notificatons.

Anyway, NAN, BY ALL MEANS POST YOUR POEM. POST IT IN EVERY THREAD YOU FEEL LIKE. JUST DO IT. SEND US A MEMO IF YOU LIKE. WE ALL WANT TO READ YOUR POEM AGAIN.

Best Wishes,
~ Linda

I thing, therefore, I forgot ? Eat yer heart out Rooooseau!
