Give me a story,do you have the time

Take a momement and give me a rhyme

I'll tell you a tale, it's strange but it's true,
Tell me if this has ever happened to you

I went to the park for a tiny stroll
When round a corner came a troll

He was dressed all in green from his head to his toe
And I was so scared I knew not where to go!

I turned to run, but couldn't move
For my feet were heavy as a canoe

He gave me a smile and a nod of his head
And said "My dear, you have nothing to dread!"

I don't eat humans, while his belly he did pat.

What I really like to eat is a big old cat.

You can eat what you like, but not my sweet kitty,
'Cause she's big and she's mean; it just wouldn't be pretty!

So I bid him farewell,feeling a bit gitty
and went on with my day,pondering this little ditty.

Good one!

Let's start another:

The sun is rising, an orb of fire,
What will this day bring, what is my desire?

The birds are singing,a song of insprire
And the suns heat,has made me perspire.

The clouds are drifting across the sky,
Bright colors and sights delight the eye.

As the day will turn to night
I will swim in the moment, of this delight.

The birds are soaring in joyous flight
My soul well fed at such a sight.

All the splenders of natures might
Cover the night sky,with blankets of light.

Celestial lanterns shine in the ebony dome,
Guiding my path as I wander alone.

Never alone when you walk the land
reach towards the sky,he'll give you a hand.

The gifts of the senses are gifts divine
To enjoy such pleasure is surely sublime.

Reeds of wind and scented smiles
accompany the traveler along the miles.

The weary traveler carries a heavy load
As he wends his long and winding road.

Did you ever try to pry away a human mask?
I can tell you it's a herculean task.

Though we try to hide 'neath a fragile facade,
We can never hide from the eyes of God.

I agree with your statement, and you give you a nod.
For fear if i didn't I would see the lightning rod.

I pray you'll heed this sage advice,
Lightning never strikes the same place twice.

You say that lightning never strikes twice in the same place in your tale.
But just to let you know twice it did me nail.
sorry I could not resist

But were you in the same location each time?

Just kidding!

That was a good one Harleygal

My dad also was struck 2 x, strange stuff.

Ok starting again..

Fat free words thin the mind
While expensive taste is left behind

Talk is cheap but the cost is high,
Use great caution before words fly.

This indeed,is true my friend
Without the mind to mouth connect, there is no end.

Goning back to the privious one for a second:
New York was the first 25 years later, Wisconsin was the next. Both times while I was inside my house the lightning decided into my right arm it would vest.

Okay now onto the new one:

When one speaks without taking time to think, most of the time the words value are the same as spilled ink.

Words once spoken can never be retrieved,
And we may not know the souls that we have grieved.

Sometimes the mouth spews idle blather
And I myself,then choose silence rather

Hi Angie!! Looks like this is a good place to end this one!

New One....

A greatful heart is a joyful heart,
so remember to give thanks
appreciate all that you have , and want not from your neighbor's ranks

Count life's blessings everyday--
We have far more than we know;
And as we travel on life's path,
Seeds of kindness we should sow.

Teach the children about how to live
So inturn when they grow older they know what to give.

A kiss of kindness upon the face
Can heal sorrows and fill with grace.

Don't miss an opportunity for kindness you can share,
It comes back to you multiplied when you're most unaware.

People are busy and seem not to care
Yet, one act of kindness is easy to spare.

with grateful hearts comes kindness returned
and those who have it a lesson was learned.
That Kindness allows us humbley to be
the person most thankful , and sings joyfully.

OK, all my gaming buds
I wish I had a catchy rhyme
Sadly at this point it is not the time
You see I feel like a bag of poo
It seems to be a strain of flu.

Oh Angie I'm sooo sorry you feel like po
Im sooo far away - but what can I do?
Oh I know!! I can give you {{{{HUGS}}} !
Now safely I won't catch that flu bug!

My dear angel
I thank you so...
I only wish this flu would go.

But your thoughts and kind hugs
may nip this thing, we call the bug....

You know i have been up 2 or 3 x in 2 days, and i feel better seeing you all...although, not 2 be yucky, my pc is 5 steps from my bed, and 10 from the potty, shall i tell you which one ive seem more...

Dang Angie! What are you taking for it??
Are you running a fever too?
can you drink broth and hold it down
or does it come up too?
I'm pleased to hear we keep you company
thru this time that you feel bad
we'll try to make you laugh, not cough
and get you back to glad!

Your an angel this is true
but, I would be so glad if you could cure the flu
I am off 2 bed,as it's time 4 meds
They wear off the clock work,leaving a hurting head
So on this note, I'm off 2 bed..
In hopes of relief of this banging head

I pray for Angels of healing hands to rest upon your pillow
so you may sleep in comfort Ang' and dream of blooming meadows.
I pray again upon your wake
that you will feel much better
you get with us back on the line
and make my poems much greater!




Sleep well Angie Here's hoping you'll feel better really soon!!!!!!

I hope today finds you on the mend,
And that your flu troubles are at an end;
Homemade chicken soup I'd surely send,
To soothe the tummy of a sick friend!

Thanks angel and Pam, so nice

Well today, I am not with a frown
as so far so good food stayed down
Feeling better this is true
I would not even give my worst enemy the flu.

So Glad to have you back my friend
So glad your on the mend
Let's get this thread here going again
Poetic rhymes to be
Make a point. stake your claim, work your words herein
lets get started you know how
you ready?? Lets start now!!


The warmth of the Sun incased me in it's rays
After Winters harsh harsh cold I longed for warmer days...

Ok angel, here we go
a poetic rhyme I may know
It is approaching midnight time
I hand over to you, this time of rhyme


not up to speed yet,still on cold/flu med buzzzzzzzzzzzzz

go ahead. I tried to post at a different part.sorry.

Start again


It is almost midnight
and no ones in sight
So quite,not even a peep
I should pack it in and go to sleep

The moon shines bright
A lunar delight
On a night dark and deep
Where sweet dreams may creep.

And a star shines bright
In the dark, still night.

The wind's easy sweep
Dries the tears that I weep

I've cried over you for far too long,
I will promise myself to always be strong,

For you took my heart and soul
our love has taken too big of a toll
on my spirt and my mind
I need someone that's kind.

OH,Loz the mind
Such a strange one in kind
The older we get
The more we forget...

There are times I forget, yes I do
exactly where I left my other shoe
Was it here or there or in the hall?
I wish it would answer when I call!

I couldn't answer if I tried
Can't you see my tongue is tied.

Oh you poor gal, what's the matter?

I guess that makes it hard to chatter

But shoes should answer
When we call,
For they have tongues
After all!!

those with tongues also have strings

while loafers have no such things

those with tongues can get tied

while lazy loafers slip and slide

I like the flip flop kind, I do
It is my favorite kind of shoe
Easy off, and easy on
Step in and go
Life moves on..

Moving always to and fro
Sometimes fast , sometimes slow
with shoes off or with shoes on
or even barefoot on the lawn

The grass underfoot felt all to fine
Then I found a doggy landmine
I pissed and moaned, and had to yell
Now my feet did truly smell

I searched the yard, found another surprise
scooped it up, now drawing flies
At the neighbors house, I took aim and flung
landed on a window and there it clung

It clung and then began to slide
And left a streak a mile wide
I laughed so hard I fell to the ground
Oh no! Another one I've found!

the neighbor saw me hit the ground
now he's laughing at the mound I found
I stood right up - redeemed my pride
this o' neighbor was fit to be tied
he yelled at me to clean his glass
I politely pointed to my

My Sister called me and made me write that , I want to go to KY in a month so I had to do what she said!! :rolleyes:

(Good one!! I'll take it and run)


As I'm bent over pointing with my first finger
my toes are still squishy they start to linger
I turned and looked back, HE HAD A SHOTGUN!!!
my feet slipped and slid, I COULD NOT RUN!!!
His aim was true, he pulled the hair trigger
my butt is real sore, now swelling much bigger
I can stand but not sit, bird shot was the reason
I'm lucky he wasn't loaded for the coming deer season

Now he walks his dog daily just for the fun
and raises his hand telling 'me' I'm #1
I learned one hard lesson, don't retaliate in anger
Planning your attacks keeps your butt out of danger
He won the first round but I got him later
Lemme tell you about that 8 foot gator

He's big and fat and looks real mean
His teeth are sharp and always seen
He scares my neighbor and his dog
even when laying still as a log
He snaps at them on demand
Yes, he is the ruler of my land

I like my gator, I really do
No more doggy landmines on my shoe!
I think I'll get a couple more
next time I'm at the electronic pet store

I'm a friendly person, I try real hard
Although some people think I'm a crazy wild card
What would you do if this happened to you?
If your shoes don't answer and your feet smell too?

I'm built upside down,
Or so they say;
My nose runs
And my feet smell most days!

You're upside down, that makes me sad
We need some help here really bad




We've got the 8 foot mean green gator
Where or where is our friend Mater?

Just got back from next door, she must be a blonde
I caught her swimming in my green gators pond
My gator didn't move, she thought it was dead
I think she's got something wrong in her head

All the chickens are gone, neighbors dog has been eaten
I win, I win, My neighbors been beaten.
Now what to do now, my plan had only one glitch
I guess I'll make a Green Gator Sandwich
This reptile is so big I'll have for plenty later
This is how it went down, or my name is not Mater!

oh no! Not the gator!

Your gator was great,
For he saved your hide,
Now you make a sandwich
With poor gator inside?
And making some shoes
Just wouldn't be right,
If I were that gator
I'd give you a bite!
I think that it's wrong--
You lack gratitude
And some day you'll pay
With that attitude!

So my attitude, Ya think be lack'n?
but ON my chickens, he was a snack'n
Since dozens of my chickens, were fresh for his pick'in
Now the gators the one that I call finger lick'in!


Gator bags, Gator boots, Gator shoes, Gator loffies
My Taxidermist made his head into a trophy!

{Mater starts the background music to this sing-a-long}
{Pirate style sing-a-long}

Come one come all, there's lots of shade in the yard

{scratching my head}

There must have been something in my coffee this morning.....

{scratching my head}

These posts have been forwarded to G.A.G --The Gator Advocates Group! They will be picketing in front of your house soon!!

That was absolutely hilarious!!!!!

Note to self:
***remember to go home and print these pages***

Mater,



Big thanks for the invite
We'll be by for a bite
I told you before that gator ain't tasty
perhaps I was just too hasty

Like chicken you say
well, have it your way
if those picketers come
go out and offer them some

BTW Those from Kentucky have bourbon to bring
I guess Jimmy Beam's what makes those in NC sing

Is this story ending today?
Does anyone else have something to say?
This story is great
the best one to date!

Oh, Mr Mator you are indeed and entertainer
I laughed so hard, after reading your post
I almost lost my morning toast

It tastes like chicken so you say?
But, I won't eat em anyway
You are so kind,to invite the gang
But did you kill him with a bang?

Oh, so funny,with the Beam and Medical Kit.
I thought for a moment,I was going to sh*t
You did it up big time, and made it all rhyme
But , killing a gator is indeed a big crime!
I will not report you,as I am not an old hag.
Besides if I am nice you'll make me a handbag

On that note Mr Mator, you made me smile indeed
I think your post is the new GF Creed..

Tell me another???anyone?

The Willy's were at a convention in town.
There were workers and gardeners and even a clown

Their King had arrived that very day
They all wanted to know what he had to say

was it good news or bad?
was it happy or sad
or Could it be he' taken a wife.
No>>> That can't be!
He pledged on his sword
No wives again in his Life.

Well, lets see, I must ponder this down
A willy, a gardener and even a clown?
What did this king say, without a sword
You bend your knee, I am a lord

I think he said as he looked away
I am the king, as this I shall stay'
I have no need for all this strife
so I ask you? why a wife

We don't know why he came to this region of Kingdom he reins
It was unannounced , quite a surprise,But When HE speaks it's not in vein.
The children giggle , men straighten their back, and women bow with grace
One feels so blessed to have him here when you look upon his face.
The King of Willey's he's known to all
His wisdom we all need.
He gave us this land to grow our foods
our flowers beauty be.

The trumpets are sounding, the jesters abound
the clowns are all juggling as we gather around.

in comes King Willy, his beard is of snow
he's about to speak, we're eager to know

the goat herder yells out of the crowd
My king have we a new Queen, make us proud

The king speaks in his royal tone
no queen for me I must be alone

You know a wife is forbidden to me
Because I've had my limit of three

My wives were all lovely, pretty, and nice
They never got mad and weren't covered with lice

My news is great news, I'm happy to say
Tomorrow the tax laws will all go away

I hear the trumpets and the jesters sound
Those clowns and there juggling hang in the background
Oh, Mr WILLY, with his wisdom and know
Choosing a wife, how shallow you go

What can you offer a wife with no lice
Will you be charming and witty and nice?

Ahhh, yes,no taxes is nice My LORD.
But can you give me a life afford?
I would, be your wife
If you could say/
All my troubles, would go away...

My Dear, said the King, as I stated before
a fourth Queen is forbidden in our Kingdom's lore

I'd bring a great threat if I ever did
The wicked fairy Queen told me that as a kid
She said I'd be sorry if I chose a fourth queen
and as we all know she's really really mean
She said that four queens is way too greedy
and that no King should ever be so needy
She promised a plague, a drought, or much worse
and that I'd be carried home in a hearse

Your offer is kind, it must come from your heart
but as your great king I must do my part

Oh The Grand King, who's wife is a host
Nothing more than a kings right arm host...

The mother in-law stood up to the stand
And made some big changes to this great land.
I, think the great king has met his game
As the mother in law , will put him to shame.

As you well are aware
The mother in law will give you a scare;-0
