Time for another S.T C.

[Angeline]

I'm with ya Ange, as long as it's a sonnet

we'll write one together and dedicate it to Spike, ok?

(great. now i'm gonna have to try to explain this to ee. lol.)

 

[*Catbabe*]

I'd go with "She made me say it and I have no idea what she is talking about."


Umm, speaking of explaining things...we might need to explain why we dedicated a poem about giraffes to Spike

i'm not sure i ever did understand it. lol.

That makes two of us.

Although by bringing it up here, we have probably avoided the responsibility of STC decisions for the rest of our lives.

I'm watching you two, cackling away. I think, since you're both such smarty-pants, you should come up with the next STC.

 

[*Catbabe*]

Heyyy now!! There was no cackling. There may have been snickering and giggling, but there was no cackling.

Ange started it. She's the guilty smarty-pants

The giraffe was the one cackling.

And Tess after my last suggestion, Disco Inferno (which you may recall even Eve crapped out on), I don't think you'll muster support for my being a title picker.

I missed out on that one too but my muse immediately saw piles of disco discs on a huge bonfire.


Cat - it looks like 6 of one and 1/2 dozen of the other. You both need a good spanking.

YOUR FEET'S TOO BIG
(Benson / Fisher)
Fats Waller - 1939


SPOKEN:
Who's that walkin' 'round here?
Mercy!
Sounds like baby patter
Baby elephant patter, that's what I calls it]

Say, up in Harlem, at a table for two,
There were four of us, me, your big feet and you
From your ankles up, I say you sure are sweet,
From there down, there's just too much feet!

Yes, your feet's too big!
Don't want ya 'cause your feet's too big!
Can't use ya 'cause your feet's too big!
I really hate ya 'cause your feet's too big!
Yeah!

Lah-dee-doo-dah,
Nah-dah-nah-dah
Where d'ya get 'em?
Nah-dee-ah-dah

Your girl, she likes ya, she thinks you're nice,
Got what it takes to be in paradise
She said she likes your face, she likes your rig,
But, man, oh, man, them things are too big

Oh, your feet's too big
Don't want ya 'cause your feet's too big!
Mad at ya 'cause your feet's too big
I hate ya 'cause your feet's too big

SPOKEN:
My goodness, gun the gunboats!
Shift! Shift! Shift!]

Oh, your pedal extremities are colossal
To me you look just like a fossil
You got me walkin', talkin' and squawkin',
'Cause your feet's too big, yeah

SPOKEN:
Come on and walk that thing
Oh, I never heard o' such walkin', Mercy!
You know your pedal extremities really are obnoxious.
One never knows, do one?

[inginant] It's a half-moon [/indignant]

I just found a book of ghazals by that poet. It's really rather nice.


Fats is nice in small doses.

PS - Thanks for the PM.

Please please change your avatar. I get no work done, no sleep...

I am not really even a ladies lady and cannot concentrate with that damn fine ass tempting me every time I try to scroll......


maybe I should write it an ode
make her come to life here for me
like Pygmalian


My Fair Lady


Fats IS nice in small doses
and when in all the right places....


Anna is steamin' tonight, somebody get me some water.....

I posted this in the "new poems" thread but it should be here really.

I'd like to say what an incredible harvest of poems "Still" produced.

I had no idea that a) so many poets would take the challenge and b) that the works would be so wonderfull diverse and so GOOD .

I've been tossing out fives as if they were confetti.

Thanks everyone.



anna ~ *laughing* in the interest of you producing a latterday Pygmalion I'm leaving my AV in place


anna is - indeed - steaming.....too much coffee?

*Gives Ange all the eggs*

Nope. See it was all Ange, Tess. I am the good one


BTW, thanks for the lovely PC and a great STC Tess Covering my behind to avoid any stray swats

 

[BooMerengue]

How about Quantum Mechanics?

Cordelia would wrap that up in a heartbeat!

 

[Cordelia]

Cordelia would wrap that up in a heartbeat!

Then Rybka would pull me aside and point out the errors in my science. <chuckle>

I'm a mathematics nerd.

Physics is just a passion of mine. I read a lot about it, but never "studied" it. I only sound like I know what I'm talking about.

But thanks for the vote of confidence...

Hugs,


Cordelia

If I missed some (more), please let me know.


I noticed that everyone seems to be using the associated public comment boards for putting down their thoughts. I think I like the forum style better, but on the other hand it does link comments to work more closely.

[TheDR4KE]

working my way through them slowly

As there was no public comment board for Maria2394, I'll just add some notes here.

I do love poetry that flows over the tongue with renaissance decoration, all curves, circles and curlicues. I think these could have been highlighted better with the use of punctuation, helping the reader with the flow where sentences fuse at times, but a very pleasurable read for wordies like me.

Thanks!

Quack,

It was--not to mention getting to see The Dr4ke's ruffled black panties.
