Rest assured, I normally would...


But it would have been misunderstood.


When the mods gave a view,


they'd say, "Pawtuck you',


and I would have been banned for good!



Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

And Superheroes
Have come to feast...
To taste the flesh...
not yet deceased...
And all I know...
Is still the beast is
Feeding....

(oooooooooh oooooooooh....)
"Stop the world, I wanna get off!"
*flings self into theater side wall when globe is stopped.*

What shall we do about poor little Tigger?
If he never eats nothing he'll never get bigger
He doesn't like honey, or haycorns and thistles
Because of the taste and because of the bristles
And all the good things that an animal likes
Have the wrong sort of swallow or too many spikes
But whatever his weight in pounds, shillings and ounces
He always seems bigger because of his bounces
Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

There's no need to fear! Underdog is here!  [No, not that horrid movie one, the REAL one...]

When criminals in this world appear
and break the laws that they should fear,
and frighten all who see or hear,
the cry goes up both far and near
for Underdog! (Underdog!) Underdog! (Underdog!)

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog. Underdog!

Happy toothless wonder!

Last night when I was sound asleep,
My little brother Keith
Tiptoed into my bedroom
And pulled out all my teeth.

You'd think that I would be upset
And jump and spit and swear.
You'd think that I would tackle Keith
And pull out all his hair.

But no!   I'm glad he did it.
So what if people stare.
Now, thanks to the Tooth Fairy,
I'll be a millionaire!
Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

(I never read this poem all the way through...now that I have...well, does anyone else see COH in this? Even a little bit??)

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And here were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

How about we hunt for phobias?

like:

Arachibutyrophobia: Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

What...we're not going to finish rhymes first?  No "Y" or "Z" poetry?

And where did the idea of song lyrics go?  I'm fine with phobias if that's what people are feeling like doing...(shrug).  Whatever ya'll want is fine.

No.  Not done yet...

The color of the submarine is Yellow
And it held four fine singing fellows
It then cruised under the sea
To go after Blue Meanies
And they won when their songs they did bellow.

/Well, ok maybe I'm not the best poet, but I think I did pretty dang good for 'Y'. :D

oops.....my bad.  /em standincorner

Down at the zoo
Early in the morning,
You can see the animals
Standing in a row.
You can see me cleaning
One and then other.
I am the zoo keeper,
Watch me go!
Listen to the 'mustn'ts'. Listen to the 'don'ts'. Listen to the 'shouldn'ts', the 'impossibles', the 'won'ts'. Listen to the 'you'll never haves', then listen close to me... Anything can happen . Anything can be.

May I suggest, dear Houtex, that you never EVER go to a convention.  Because well....yeah.

Anyone who has Hellenologophobia (the fear of Greek terms or complex scientific terminology) is in the wrong place with the current "Alphabet Hunt."

So close! I was gonna wait for H and go with Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.

...The fear of long words. :o



That one's not real though, a TV show made it up. So I went with the balloon one instead. *shrug*
