La Raza: President Reagan exuded respect, connected powerfully with Latinos

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

You take the strangest things seriously.

You're the strangest thing I take seriously.

A sense of humour is still lacking I see.

Here's a hint. Charisma is not an old wooden ship (even if there is a plaque on the back end that says so).

I missed the funny part about an old guy with Alzheimer's.

Give me another hint because that one doesn't make sense. Reminds of another British guy who told me he had written a short book. Naturally, I fell for it and asked him what it called. He replied, Black People I've Met While Yatching.

Strangely enough, so did I.

What if he was sailing on the Charisma or thought he understood your joke? Would those constitute signs of the illness?

You have to admit though, Alien does go off on these strange flights of fancy - that are barely connected to anything else going on

Are you encouraging this kind of nonsense now Colonel? How very Lear of you

Nonsense? Better change yer diaper, son! I'll show you nonsense.

...and now for something completely different

The Pobble who has no toes

Had once as many as we;

When they said "Some day you may lose them all;"

He replied "Fish, fiddle-de-dee!"

And his Aunt Jobiska made him drink

Lavender water tinged with pink,

For she said "The World in general knows

There's nothing so good for a Pobble's toes!"

The Pobble who has no toes

Swam across the Bristol Channel;

But before he set out he wrapped his nose

In a piece of scarlet flannel.

For his Aunt Jobiska said "No harm

Can come to his toes if his nose is warm;

And it's perfectly known that a Pobble's toes

Are safe, -provided he minds his nose!"

The Pobble swam fast and well,

And when boats or ships came near him,

He tinkledy-blinkledy-winkled a bell,

So that all the world could hear him.

And all the Sailors and Admirals cried,

When they saw him nearing the further side -

"He has gone to fish for his Aunt Jobiska's

Runcible Cat with crimson whiskers!"

But before he touched the shore,

The shore of the Bristol Channel,

A sea-green porpoise carried away

His wrapper of scarlet flannel.

And when he came to observe his feet,

Formerly garnished with toes so neat,

His face at once became forlorn,

On perceiving that all his toes were gone!

And nobody ever knew,

From that dark day to the present,

Whoso had taken the Pobble's toes,

In a manner so far from pleasant.

Whether the shrimps, or crawfish grey,

Or crafty Mermaids stole them away -

Nobody knew: and nobody knows

How the Pobble was robbed of his twice five toes!

The Pobble who has no toes

Was placed in a friendly Bark,

And they rowed him back, and carried him up

To his Aunt Jobiska's Park.

And she made him a feast at his earnest wish

Of eggs and buttercups fried with fish, -

And she said -"It's a fact the whole world knows,

That Pobbles are happier without their toes!"

MC, with all due respect, please post your commie propaganda somewhere where it is appreciated.

There Was an Old Man With a Beard

by Edward Lear

There was an Old Man with a beard,

Who said, "It is just as I feared! -

Two Owls and a Hen,

Four Larks and a Wren,

Have all built their nests in my beard!"

[Peikko 1,575]

How pleasant to know Mr. Lear

a poem by Edward Lear

How pleasant to know Mr. Lear,

Who has written such volumes of stuff.

Some think him ill-tempered and #######,

But a few find him pleasant enough.

His mind is concrete and fastidious,

His nose is remarkably big;

His visage is more or less hideous,

His beard it resembles a wig.

He has ears, and two eyes, and ten fingers,

(Leastways if you reckon two thumbs);

He used to be one of the singers,

But now he is one of the dumbs.

He sits in a beautiful parlour,

With hundreds of books on the wall;

He drinks a great deal of marsala,

But never gets tipsy at all.

He has many friends, laymen and clerical,

Old Foss is the name of his cat;

His body is perfectly spherical,

He weareth a runcible hat.

When he walks in waterproof white,

The children run after him so!

Calling out, "He's gone out in his night-

Gown, that crazy old Englishman, oh!"

He weeps by the side of the ocean,

He weeps on the top of the hill;

He purchases pancakes and lotion,

And chocolate shrimps from the mill.

He reads, but he does not speak, Spanish,

He cannot abide ginger beer;

Ere the days of his pilgrimage vanish,

How pleasant to know Mr. Lear!

[one...two...tree 2,762]

commie.

[Peikko 1,575]

I believe, Sir, he was a Wig!
