ghost of miles Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 I was up there at one time...no, really...now I'm being passed by someone new seems like every week...but...ah, hand me that bottle. Yeah, JM, time for us to sit on the porch for a spell and sing an ol' Willard Robison tune to ourselves: Ev’ry one knows him as Old Folks, Like the seasons he’ll come and he’ll go Just as free as a bird, and as good as his word, That’s why ev’rybody loves him so. Always leavin’ his spoon in his coffee, Puts his napkin up under his chin. And that yellow cob pipe, it’s so mellow it’s ripe, But, you needn’t be ashamed of him. In the evening, after supper, what stories he would tell: How he held the speech at Gettysburg For Lincoln that day. I know that one so well. Don’t quite understand about Old Folks. Did he fight for the blue or the gray? For he’s so diplomatic and so democratic, We always let him have his way. We Always know where to find Old Folks, When there’s some little chore he can do At the old liv’ry stable, when ever he’s able, Pitchin’ the shoes with lawd knows who. Then he meets the late train at the station Sits and whittles when it’s overdue. While they’re sortin’ the mail, ev’ry night without fail He’s sneakin’ a little nip or two. Ev’ry Friday he’ll go fishin’ way down on Buzzards Lake. But he only hooks a perch or two. A whale got away, So we warm up the steak. Oh, some day there’ll be no more Old Folks. What a lonely old town this will be. Children’s voices at play, will be stilled for a day, The day that they take Old Folks away. Quote

Brad Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 I haven't seen anything worthy of response. Especially when your responses consist of quotes and adding one or two lines. Quote

alankin Posted February 22, 2005 Report Posted February 22, 2005 (edited) I'm just hoping to hit 1,000 posts before I retire...  Which would be easy if I just add meaningless responses to prior posts. Edited February 22, 2005 by alankin Quote
