Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 In the matters of eggshells, I am just like my father, I sometimes forget to be careful and I bite into the shell get angry but since I am the one who boils eggs, indeed... In the conviction of apples and oranges, the chances of correctly selecting one based on colour, taste, shape and form, are exactly the same as the fragrance to one without arms, blind, What came first the chicken or the egg? Do ya think it mattered to Humpty Dumpty? So if you smell rotten eggs, or you're the king's horses or men, trying to put the good egg back in the basket, remember this rhyme of once upon a time: A tisket a tasket, a green and yellow basket, I sent a letter to my love, and on the way I dropped it... And if you have a cart full of apples and oranges, make sure you don't put the cart before the horse or you'll never take the fruit to the market. By the way, did your Lover ever find the letter? Wink!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it supposed to convey some kind of meaning? Or is it just a compilation of words? In regard to poetry, I don't usually feel that I grasp the true meaning of the author because so often it seams like it could mean anything or nothing at all. I suppose that this is because I'm a bit dense. Peace and Love, michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
