Something Borrowed

I'm afraid the poetry I write would make everyone yawn. So, I hope you enjoy some wit from one of our (the States) greatest spokesmen.

He that lives upon Hope,
dies Farting.

---Benjamin Franklin,
Poor Richard's Almanack, 1736


The Antediluvians Were All Very Sober

The Antediluvians were all very sober
For they had no Wine, and they brewed no October;
All wicked, bad Livers, on Mischief still thinking,
For there can't be good Living where there is not
good Drinking,

'Twas honest old Noah first planted the Vine
And mended his Morals by drinking its Wine;
He justly the drinking of Water decried;
For he knew that all Mankind, by drinking it, died.

From this Piece of History plainly we find
That Water's good neither for Body or Mind;
That Virtue and Safety in Wine-bibbing's found
While all that drink Water deserve to be drowned.

So For Safety and Honesty put the Glass round.

---Benjamin Franklin

very touching go ahead write your own next time i'll get you started

lay your soft head
downd on the pillowly bead;
fan your body out;
let the sun softly carres your skin
and let the rays carress your cares
into a heavenly bliss

Oh Baby! Can you give me a couple of days?

[ScottishLassie2]

Irish_highlander, oh baby!! That was a hot one. Becca are you sure your up to it? Irish honey if Becca can't do it I will.

Highlander, I think we need to leave your poem just as it is.
