    Ode to LJ...

    There once was a Lad named Len,
    In the Carolinas he searched for Gin,
    Found Posty's Whistle instead,
    And upon it he plead
    But it sent his poor ass straight to bed.

    Down on the couch he sat
    Probably thinking of his cat
    The shine kicked in hard
    Had the whistle been barred
    He probably would not have fell flat

    I could never remember all the rules for odes, so I'll have to go for a limerick.

    Ol' Ticboy I'll tell you about,
    He found Postie's whistle too stout.
    No one noticed him leave,
    Thought he'd just gone to heave,
    But they found him in bed, passed out.

    Ode: a lyric poem in the form of an address to a particular subject.
    ie: LJ passing out.

    Yep. it's the rules and forms that baffle me ...

    "A classic ode is structured in three major parts: the strophe, the antistrophe, and the epode. Different forms such as the homostrophic ode and the irregular ode also exist. There are three typical forms of odes: the Pindaric, Horatian, and irregular. Irregular odes use rhyme, but not the three-part form of the Pindaric ode, nor the two- or four-line stanza of the Horatian ode. Huh?

    There once was a group of goodhunters,
    Whose best chance at getting laid was to crawl up a chickens ass and wait.

    With the big-boys, Len wanted to hang,
    To be cool and part of the gang.
    But the more whistle he drank,
    The lower he sank,
    'Til he hit the floor with a bang!

    Hey! Let the record show I made it to the bed without falling! I had to close one eye and lean in to it but I made it!

    For Len to recall what he reads
    Paying attention he would need
    But he just skims the text
    And becomes quite perplexed
    Then runs off and smokes all his weed.

    A Noticer Len wanted to be,
    But details he never could see.
    His attention was lax,
    He'd skip over the facts,
    Then he'd beg for his badge on one knee.

    Yeah, but hitting the BED with a bang, just didn't sound right. (It's called "poetic license")

    Poetic License - n. - The liberty taken by an artist or a writer in deviating from conventional form or fact to achieve a desired effect.

    He got in trouble for picking on Bucky ... so he's a bit gun shy now.

    (THAT should bring that stubborn old Okie mule out into the open)

    I've not noticed anyone treating me with kid gloves here when you have a mouth like mine, you gotta be willing to lean in to the strike zone!

    I think he's been playing his grandsons guitar all day!

    Oh, and bite me.

    Cappy that's the 64,000$ question.
    You know posty is the quiet and secret type. He'd never reveal such details on a forum like this.
    If you don't believe me ask Len.
