Empires rise and fall

Kingdoms flourish for a season and then decay.

Trees grow from small acorns and eventually succumb to the woodsperson's axe.

And still this thread continues ...

Must be a slow news day.

[Boris]

Poor Sticks !

Here you are Rach

[Boris]

My word old chap , that IS a shiny one.

You will have to keep it well polished.


However.....it is only permissable to wear it on ceremonial occasions.

Right ho !

On Parade Now
left right, left right,Company Atteeeeeenntion


By the way Captain Kaz, I will be on manouvers in the AM. I trust we can cope with the Troops........?

[Kaz]

Very good work, Lance Corporals Amy and Rachb.

That's more like it! With such alert and diligent troops, this mission WILL not fail.

It may be tough, it may be difficult, but we WILL prevail.

Shoulders back, lovely gals (and guys)!

[Boris]

That's the ticket....

[Kaz]

All part of the service, Boris.

Nothing's too much trouble
And everything is in hand
The troops are ready and willing
My trusty, faithful band.

[kaphc]

Ode to Kaz...

So you think you'll be the last
To post upon this thread
But I bet that someone comes along
And mucks it up instead!

[Boris]

Captain Kaz is on the case,
She will not let it rest,
To be the one ,
Not be outdone,
She'll do her VERY best !

[steve_o]

Yep me, here's another one for the post pot.

[Janette]

965 now Steve, keep it up and you'll be on 1000 in no time!!!!!

[Boris]

Yep me, here's another one for the post pot.

At the post you will have to be 'Pipped',
A taste of success ,not be sipped,


We just cannot let our Kaz down,
Twill will make her pretty face frown !

[Kaz]

Come on, Steve - at least give us a poem the next time.

Boris, this mission is under control
You really need not fear
If ever your name's at the end of the thread
The troops and I are here

To save you from the terrible shame
Of being the last to post
To see my name there instead of yours
Is what I want the most.

[Boris]

You're good,
It's true,
I'll rely
On you !!!

[Kaz]

Thank you
My friend,
I'll be here
at the end
Faithful and true
Just for you.

[Boris]

[Sticks]

Don't you ever feel like just disappearing to some quiet place to hide away from the stress of keeping this thread going ?

[Janette]

Has this turned into the poetry thread?


Ok, here's one from me:-

Mum

The very first words I ever spoke
according to my mum
were 'brachial plexus bronchiolitis'
and then I sucked my thumb.

From thereon my mother thought
that I'd become a doctor
but I didn't fancy that
and my reluctance shocked 'er.

She's still convinced I meant to say
those multi-syllabic words
but I was only six weeks old
so find this quite absurd.

Don't get me wrong, I love my mum
but not her expectations
I'm happy in my dead end job
as Head of The United Nations

Sticks, if you'd like to apply for leave of absence from duty, then it'll be given due consideration.

I like to think that I'm firm but fair . . . .

But nothing and no-one will stop me from carrying out this mission. A promise cannot be broken.

[Boris]

Don't you ever feel like just disappearing to some quiet place to hide away from the stress of keeping this thread going ?

YES !!!!!

but don't tell Kaz.........can you arrange trasport as you have found the destination ?
