No, it is not Halloween or any other holiday. It is not a birthday or anniversary. It is just a day that I am thinking about the bright and talented people in our Family.
We have dancers and choreographers, singers, musicians, a journalist, chessplayers, minds brilliant with numbers and figures, debaters, creative writers and actors, gymnasts and athletes, bloggers, and our social butterflies.
So, my ever so clever grandchildren, I WANT MORE PARTICIPATION FROM EACH OF YOU ON OUR FAMILY NEWSWIRE!!
Don't be so modest
There's no reason why
To hide your light
That shines so bright
Just because you're a little shy.
So can we add POET to the list?
Guys and girls, I challenge you to add a couple of lines to that poem.

THIS IS AN EDIT FROM MY BLOG!
The magic word is
PARTICIPATE!
So kids, even if you don't add some lines of poetry, let's hear from you!
And you grown-up kids of all ages you too can be a Bard!
Here is the poem that I added some lines to-
Don't be so modest
There's no reason why
To hide your light
That shines so bright
Just because you're a little shy
If you don't participate, you'll make me sigh
Have some fun
Or you better run
Post like crazy
Don't be lazy
So join the newswire
Don't you dare be a liar
Don't make an excuse
Like I am so busy
So go, and show
News about your life
There is nothing to lose
POST, POST, POST
Here's one from back in my learnin' days - matter of fact, and rightly so, kinda remember Missy Crabtree teachin' us youngins' this when we was done ciphering. Goes something like this: (and it's kinda' short)...I once had a heifer - she sure was purty. Now she's a gone - now ain't that a pity...........Now there's some good old fashioned Cowboy purty talk Missy Betty....Much obliged, Cowboy Mitch (and his buckaroos)
Nicole,
I like it:
"Don't be lazy
Post like crazy" etc.
Good poem, thanks for responding (Uncle Mitch did also. Now I am going to get after the others.
But first, Cowboy Mitch, you know I LOVE that cowboy talk! But, but,"when we was done ciphering" I dunno the meanin'of it. And I'm sure all the rest of the big city folks on this website don't know it neither.
Thanks for participatin'tho.
Cipherin' is sorta' like 1+1, 1+2, 1+3.....I did real good in cipherin'...Cowboy Mitch
