Brighter Shade Than Palin
(To the tune of Whiter Shade of Pale – Procol Harum)

She speaks the neo lingo
Can carry cross with flair
You can hardly help but be sick
And run outside for air
It’s now becoming harder
For McCain to get away
Can’t recall if he’s for or against
What he said yesterday

It will dawn on him later
The Wasilla Plan has failed
What this fool’s campaign needs mostly
Is a brighter shade than Palin

The situation he’s in
Telling truths just cannot be
Having pandered to the voting herds
With one now must be
But that’s mixing oil and water
Thought with Sarah he could boast
Someone common that can rope in
With a beauty pageant pose

It will dawn on him later
The Wasilla Plan has failed
What this fool’s campaign needs mostly
Is a brighter shade than Palin

Hoping you're doing well.

29. Brilliant! (as usual...)

And my first chance to choose "must read," though I'm still a little confused about this new-fangled DU...:silly:

But this is just excellent!:applause::yourock:

And timely and appropriate considering today's messed up and depressing developments...:-(

Rhiannon:hi::hug:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

32. Dern fancy techie stuffs

Luddites like myself always holler AW NOW WHAT, then figure it out once all the big words have been explained. Slowly. :)

Very kind of ya hun, it was still in re-write up to when I caved in and finally hit Post.

:hi: :hug: :loveya: :pals:

I didn't mention it before, forgetful fool that I am, thank you for that lovely poem you posted. The thread it's in is now in my journal permanently.

[Rhiannon12866]

41. I'm still looking for Skinner's thread which explains how the changes work...

I hoped that he'd pinned it. Even though I'm technologically challenged, I can follow instructions...:shrug:

And your song is missing nothing, is perfect as it is. After this election, you'll have quite an impressive collection, impressive stuff and well worth keeping!:applause:

And I'm so glad that you enjoyed the poem. It impressed me enough that it stuck in my mind until I had occasion to use it. It really does express the way I feel about people that I've lost, so I hoped that it would resonate with you, too.:hug:

I hope that another great post means that you're doing well, my friend. I'm here if you ever want to talk, though it's probably too soon, if there never is a good time. Some days are better than others for me. I wish you a whole lot of good ones...:pals:

Rhiannon:hug::hi:

Oh, no! Jackie just threw up! He starts a new doggy class on Saturday, am going with malta blue and her new dog, and am looking forward to it. I just hope that my little guy does well this time...:scared:

on edit: Here's the latest of Jack, avoiding looking at the camera, as usual...:loveya:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

42. Got paper towels at the ready

Daisy has off days, but rare as they are, we're always ready for them.

Tell malta I said one of these hugs is from me. Same for wee Jack, from someone who knows discipline sux. :D

There's an idea for verse in my head, I just don't feel it's time to paint that picture yet. It's changing as I think of it, so when the change slows, I'll take stock of it all and scribble.

All I can do is keep reading, keep learning, and keep on.

And we will talk, be assured of that my friend. :hug: :loveya:

Back to the funny papers! Anyone have a rolaid? ;)

[annabanana]

33. Here is one that rises directly up out of my hazily recalled days

in dorms and on mattresses in hippie rooms across the country.

Good times, strange days indeed...
