garter gathering

[Mommy2many]

You'll have me there, as I only have my camera phone. Even if I had the best camera available, photography is not my proficiency. I enjoy the photos posted by others, as I don't have the eye or a still hand! (I would suck at surgery too)

I do enjoy the prose and verse, however.

Oh, flowing rhymes our John did spin,
to celebrate those slithering things,
whose genus, taxa much ingored,
leave fashionable keepers bored.

Much joy and laughter these rhymes did bring,
as John's passion put words into a spin,
blending of knowledge and observation,
to show our choice for elevation.

"Thamnophis" we cry, "are irreplacable!",
yet sometimes, sadly, unobtainable,
we scour the lands for these limited rations,
that wear skins of variety in an elegant fashion.

Those lovable faces and interesting quirks,
enchant and perplex (these just some of the perks),
and with mountains of passion the most willing seeker,
will always be the Thamnophis snake keeper.

my master plan is working, i am slowly getting the members to reveal their artistic sides which for so long they have struggled to keep hidden. LOL

we expect nothing less from the LAND of RABBIE BURNS

I think I will wait on the sidelines and enjoy the talents of the other members.
I don't think I can assess the creativity section of my brain or maybe it's not there(old war injury)
I'm not fretting as I have other talents like..........well at least I can...... or if I have to I could........... never mind I have to go feed some snakes

you have once again just shown us all, at least one of your talents, your irrepressible sense of humour, this post gave me a mental picture of you sitting at your computer trying desperately to think of some ability you might have, and failing miserably [absolutely priceless] i happened to be drinking coffee when reading it ,i nearly choked
dont ever change steve

[PINJOHN]

hey steve i forgot to ask for your address i will need to send the bill from) the guy who has to clean all the coffee out of my keyboard

[guidofatherof5]

I don't believe I can be held liable for that damage as we all know that liquids are not to be comsumed around computers. Don't weeee.

[ConcinusMan]

That's why I got a keyboard I can put through the dishwasher.

[Hornets23]

Nice..this stuff is quite amusing

[Mommy2many]

A most excellent poem, Greg! Steve, we all do enjoy your sense of humor as John pointed out. The use of imagery, well, let's say you get the point across. (Evidence lies in the coffee in the keyboards across the world)

This thread has been most enjoyable! I think we should keep it going!
