Great observations and yup those flows are rollin', both y'all.

That lil' kid aspect helps immensely to balance life - more people would be sooo much happier if they didn't keep stompin it down 'cause they're "all grown up now".

Your writes can MEAN so many different things. People putting their heads in the sand, not wanting to know, just wanting to view with their own brand of rose colored glasses, and NOT get involved.

It's not me, so what does it matter?

An apocalyptic type revelation type thang coming to pass.

Old historical plaque aftermath.


So very many different things
can be found

Have I told ya lately, Jess, I so love the way you think? No, Well, I'm-a-tellin' ya nowwwww

TxsLily, I soo wanna call you a show off! I enjoy the heck out of you!


Mornin', MzEm -- Thanks and would you like some coffee?

I feel like a Clydesdale when I do it; but, here ya go ---------


Deep curtsy to you too, Kace!

No, the Abc rap isn't posted. It wasn't terrifically changed from the normal version, but I bounced them on my knees while lying on the floor and then slid them down to my chest at the very end. I'm surprised they didn't think certain letters were truly said more than once; but they'd sing along and laugh and learn.

Now I know
Ma-ma-my
A B C's
next time
WON't you
sing with me
ba-da-da-boop-bop-boop-bop-ba-da-da-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

With your songs, don't rule the process - it's in you just let it come out, using a tape recorder or computer and just start jammin - it'll fall in place and later you can decide, nahhh, don't like that, but oo, if I try it with this waaaaaLaaaaa!

Thank-you, Joseph. Actually, I started writing as a journal type thing to identify and change aspects of myself and keep track to find walls I kept banging into. Making up rhymes was always a great aid for me in learning or memorizing something, so it was a natural thing to use when I was raising my kids and changing rhythms (ABC song switched to a rap version) to peak their interest just naturally evolved. guess I have been kinda in one form or another, huh? Posting publicly is a new (2 years, here) experience for me.

The mere title of this thread has me droolin' --- ohhhh yummmmmm!

Quite pulling write. I've noticed you're really good at graphic writing.

P.S. what does wow=o mean?

Sounds good and thanks for helping find the ending to this one, I could feel it, I just couldn't express it right earlier!

thanks, mommmmm!

Either that or post both versions, Strickland's labeled and the rewrite the way you feel it should be. Keep 'em both in the same file and that way your memory won't overload and it's all good!

Biff, the wrangler,
went out one day.
Ridin' his ol paint
roundin up strays.

He brought home a calf
wearin' another's brand.
His woman went wild!
Why? He just couldn't understand.

He watched in a-MAZE-ment
as she hog tied that calf,
ignorin' it's cries
as she traced round the brand.

Then she bellowed in a voice
that hit like a 2 x 4.
"Biff, you're a wrangler,
not a rustler, I know this for shore!"

"I strongly urge
you to cowboy up again
and take this one back
to his home pen."

Now, ol Biff,
he was stubborn
with a strong helping of pride
on the side.

Disgruntled and mumbling,
he saddled up to ride.
"Big mouthed woman", he grumbled,
As he caught her eye.

He leaned down to her,
as he passed by, for a kiss
and heard her whisper softly,
"Thank you, Biff, you're better than this."

This is verrry similar to Dee Strickland Johnson's,
"Morning in the High Hills", the inspiration for a more personal rewrite, perhaps??????????

mmmm, you're thoughts are like a breath of fresh air.

Welcome, as Kace says, to this little corner of the world.

Oh Angel, you are priceless

Deep curtsy and a "why thank you so much", Sir Hondo

Nice hot-n-cold effect

As you are for me too!

Gooood morn-in pk and thank you so much!

Yup, ladylid you'll do nicely together when the time's right if its who I'm thinkin of
