Today’s Poetic Masterpiece — A Limerick
I am working on my Egg masterpiece, it’s just not quite finished yet. However, I have amassed a large archive (probably at least 3 or 4 pieces) of completed poetry and various brilliant writings. I plan to gradually post them as I feel led on this someday award-winning blog.
I wrote this in January ’04, soon after I moved to Indiana. I don’t like cold or snow. Winters in Oregon are pretty mild, a little rain but rarely any stinking snow.
I think it was originally published on the by-log.
The cold and the snow are a pain,
And “Frigid’s” the name of the game.
The roads are a mess
and I am depressed,
I long for a sweet gentle rain.

Tom, your limerick is sublime and pertinent. You, however, are impertinent. But I agree, Ag should have a blog.

Tom has tried to convince me…….. sometimes I think I should…….sometimes I don’t want to have anything to do with it…….I just don’t know.
I wonder sometimes if it would be worth it. I wonder if anyone would even read it. I wonder if it would be beneficial. I wonder if I would drive people crazy. I wonder if I would drive myself crazy. I wonder if I would love it. I wonder if I would hate it.
Just don’t know. (But hey Tom, “just don’t know” is progress over “no way Dude, not happening…”)

Ag,
Do you ever read your XANGA coments?

Okay, so what is this? You sign in so you can comment because you can’t sign anon, and they give you site? Please! I knew I hated Xanga!

Yes. Down with xanga. You have to sign up in order to comment, and then you get a page, with guestbook. What’s your username Ag?

That is so stupid! I am so completely unimpressed! I didn’t even know the dumb thing existed, much less…….
Well, from the looks of things, my user name is NitaJ.
My opinion of Xanga is plummeting, and it wasn’t skyrocketing to begin with!
