You all rock!!!!

Why thank you, thank you, my friend AGP

For your kindest words and generosity

In this we do, we try to do well

Rhyming at times, is not easy to tell

These verses we make, inspired by

Give us that feeling of a "Secret Touch"

That we may tap into the mind of the lyrical wonder

The one known as The Professor, the God of Thunder

Try as we might, we may never succeed

To come close to the perfection that he has percieved

We will continue, in this, our lyrical rant

Just as Lerxst does, in his usual pant

To you, men of we give great thanks to thee

For the many years of music, to make us feel free

So come all you talents, come all you wannabe's

For this thread will not die if we keep adding our piece

Let us wax poetic on the band we all admire

And keep this thread going, the lyrics on fire!!

Excellent LM! This is lotsa fun!

________________________________

I pondered an answer, as plain as can be

But didn't seem right, to add just a smilie

RR has does it, well why cannot I?

'Cause now even he, will let the verse fly!

Well now that I think, what will I try next?

These simple couplets have me really vexed

So on to more tough and challenging styles

Whatever is needed to invoke lots of smiles

Some free verse perhaps or maybe haiku

A ballad sounds nice, rhyme lines 4 and 2

Limericks, didactic, the fun never ends

Just get off your duff, and share with your friends

I know, isn't it? I'm having a great time with this

Though Im thinking of this as I add this reply

How can I respond with words that don't rhyme!!

It would'nt be something like Lakeside to do

To leave a thread bare, and some with no clue!

So as I add these last lines, I say unto thee

A hearty bravo! Those are nice lines BSG!

Thank you so much, you're really too kind

And now off to work, lest I lose my mind!

And have I said yet? How I love your stuff?

It's really quite great! I can't get enough!

Why yes, BSG, you have said these things

But I can keep listening, so come on and bring!

Not often does my work get noticed so brightly

Nor commented on so very, very nicely

Have fun at your work, try not to be mad

Fighting with computers is a no win fad

Try as I might, try as I may

My hubbehs opinion I just cannot sway

He feels that my time here is spent all in vain

That all that I do today could be thrown out into the rain

He has no comprehension of the friends Ive made here

And how that I hold them very, very dear

Its not often you find friends of the same mind

And I'd not want to lose any of you, or leave this behind

So thank you dear friends, for my time I've spent here

And know that I will always hold it quite dear

I will keep on keeping on until I am through

For driving my hubbeh nuts IS a fun thing to do

He will eventually understand, this I do know

Though not soon enough, to my hearts sorrow

But I will be here until the end

To sit up talking late nights with my friends

No rhyme here, folks...I just had to say how cool it is to refer to my main man Neil as "The God of Thunder."

And, AGP, here's the clapping smiley...he's just hidden down toward the bottom, I think:

**Alsgalpal** · September 23, 2004

Thanks GG!!!! Here is a standing ovation for you all!!!

I thought the reference to God of Thunder was so cool too....WTG!!!!!

Well, dearest GG, as long as I can tell

Those words come to mind, and describe him quite well

My sister and I have long referred to him thusly

For who else could wear that Mantle robustly

The God of Thunder he has been all along

Reffered to now in the verse of this 'song'

And we will call him this for now and evermore

What else, my dear friends, do you have in store?

This rhyming seems to only come from BSG and I

Where are the rest of our members replies?

I've said it before and I'll say it again,

Come all you dear people, women and men

Post any you like, and please make it rhyme

And we will keep this rant going with in our minds!

**madra sneachta** · September 23, 2004

With clever words and exquisite timing

Lakeside Maiden keeps on rhyming.

It makes me wonder, just like Page and Plant

should she get a job next tour writing Alex's rant!!!!!

My dear friend Madra, what a wonderful idea!

You pitch it to Lerxst, makes sure it's quite clear.

I will write for him rants, in the usual style

Quite crazy in fact, I could go on for miles!

That would be a most fun job indeed

To work with my boys so fantastically

We will speak of his habits and of the Meat Bees

and of his True Jazz, that he plays with such ease.

So make this idea come to great life

And I will enjoy it (even if I'm not Geddy's Wife!)

From this onerous task I know you won't shirk,

especially if it gets you closer to Dirk.

And once he sees all the talent you've got,

I'm sure he'll invite you into his shrimp cot

Oh no, friend Madra, I certainly wouldn't balk

at keeping Ged warm in his shrimp cot

Who knows if this truly will happen to me

But if it does, it will surely be a sight to see...

Writing rants for Lerxst through the day,

Keeping Dirk company by night in the hay

This all sounds like a great plan to me

and I'll keep my fingers crossed that it succeeds

Here's a little one bout the Meat Bees... (threw you off with 3 lines didnt I? lol)

The fly round and round, searching for meat

To cut from the bodies of those on the street

Circular pieces to take off to their homes

To feed on and feed on while they are alone

Oh the mean meat bees, they swarm as they fly

On into the night, not a care in their eyes

They will be back, all too soon it seems

To eat from the flesh of all humanity!

**madra sneachta** · September 25, 2004

When e'r my heart is heavily laden,

I read the posts of Lakeside Maiden.

The warmth and joy within them glows,

as enthusiastic rhythm flows.

Some might think as they're perusing

her depth of meaning is confusing.

But I'll translate them if you're ready

>

>SHE WANTS TO &*%$ GEDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might think "He writes quite well"

but I had to edit 'cause I can't spell!!!!

This thread continues like a Ring of Fire

And now even Madra knows of my desires

I've tried and tried to keep them out of my rhymes

But what can you do when Ged looks so damn FINE?!!

So trying to keep him out of this text

Is really starting to make me feel vexed

So shall I compose one on his wit and charm

or one on his fantasticly strong upper arms?

Or should I just go back to the subject at hand

And write of all three that make up this great band?

Let us combine our wits here with this

and expound and lyricise on both topics

The Professor and Lerxst would be a wonderful prize

But they dont do nothin' here for Lakeside

The passion I feel is for Dirk all alone

But to jam with all three, now that I condone!

I have long since dreamed of sitting down to play

With Dirk, Lerxst and Pratt in a professional way.

For they are the Gods of this Music they rule

And we are but servants, worshipping their Shoes!!

**The Notorious B.S.G.** · September 25, 2004

I s'pose it's my turn, as I've been long gone

From this lyrical thread. I must carry on

The fine good tradition that we've begun here

And I'll do it all with nary a beer

You see I've not purchased the goodly red ale

Which often inspires so many a tale

So I will trudge on, quite stone cold sober

From now 'till at least the end of October

Or later perhaps, if we carry on

To many new pages, and much more good fun

So let's raise a glass to me, thee, and she

When really by this, I truly mean "we"

So thanks for the effort and thanks to you all

We'll keep you informed when Anthem does call

They will want your poems so give 'em up nice

You will get top dollar just heed my advice

Hold out for the peak hold out for the most

When you have a deal then you can boast

That you did tell Ged just what he should sing

And gave form and shape to Lerxst's ranting

BSG, in dreams, your words ring quite true

And Lakeside does hope they will follow thru

That they will petition of me to write for them stanzas

But, please, not of songs! That is Pratt's extravaganza!

He's the one of great mind, and lyrics so deep

Of this I do know, I could never compete!

But writing the craziness of Lerxsts mirthful rants

Of comical lyrics I could defintely decant!

Be that as it may, I am not so well known

To bring the attention of our Gods on their thrones

I will end this, this night, with these final verses

And so I will sputter, muttering curses!

That I am not in this position already is sad

And we're it to happen, it would make me right glad

So will it to happen, friends, if you are so inclined

To focus great will, for our fates to be intertwined!

The time is now to let it be known

Our thread will be moved to another place

A thread of its own, A Poetry Space

So look hard under RUSH, and you will find

A place to post all your lyrics and rhymes!

Bad phraseology on my part - yankeeyankeezulu's post was made a year ago, I responded this morning agreeing with his observation.

I did have an ulterior motive for bumping the thread, which Slaine sussed out this morning!!!!.

Yet again Madra answers one question and in doing so raises three others.
