Man! ----Just when I was starting to feel good about leaving when I did, now I find I have nothing firsthand to bring to this thread. It does remind me of a funny OFF TOPIC story though. It seems I was having a conversation with a bluesman who had been around for a long time. I asked him why he thought audiences were able to relate so easily to him. He told me that early in his career, he decided never to sing about anything that wasn't real for him. "For example", he said, "I never sing about picking cotton because the closest I ever got to that was picking it out of aspirin bottles on Sunday mornings."

Some Rosie's seem dead,
At least her southern drawl,
No longer gets in my crawl,
So glad I don't have to hear it,
or even be near it,
or indeed fear it,
I certainly don't endear it,
The Way of Rosie has no merit,
For they haven't Holy Spirit.
Just my humble thoughts if you will permit it!!!!!!!!!

Here we have a figure of speech
Rosie thinks that she's a peach
Or we can use a metaphor
She munches carpet (not on the floor!)
What's that? You want a simile?
She looks like a chimpanzee.
I've stretched this poem long enough
I better go do important stuff.

The Guru of Ham requested rhyme
He seeks Rosie to malalign.
He needn't worry the task is light
For Rosie is her very own plight.
So, "Mirror, mirror on the wall.
Who is the fairest one of all?"
New Knoxville is not the place to look
'Tho queens may rule fools on a hook.

Rosie is so full of gas
that her face looks just like an foot
when she stands in the pulpit
she looks like a culprit
who's about to conduct a black mass

Our friend Groucho makes a point.
Rosie can stink up the joint.
Her face is not the pretty sort,
Her eyes are dead, her teeth are short.
What ever where they thinking
When they thought she could save the cult from sinking?

There was an old girl named Rosie
Who thought her life smelled like a posie.
She became prez
And they do what she says
And she acts like old Rosie is cozy

but she had but the face of a llama

Rosie came from North Carolina,
She never wanted to marry a miner.
New Knoxville was her goal
She wanted it all
And she got it - with her vag......

What rhymes with "hypocatastasis?"
Well, this question is aces.
Dogs! You say
This was one way
To insult all those "Rosie-ish" faces.

There once was a guy named waysider
Who met an old dude playing git-tar
He said "The blues are my basis
And that's just the way 'tis"
Now this rhymes with hypocatastasis
I know, I know it's a big stretch.....but waysider made me do it!!
