The Daily Bug
It's Poetry, Silly!

If I can't come up with a serious blog entry, it's time to do something silly!

Nothing To Do?

Nothing to do? Nothing to do?
Put some mustard in your shoe,
Fill your pockets full of soot,
Drive a nail into your foot,
Put some sugar in your hair,
Place your toys upon the stair,
Smear some jelly on the latch,
Eat some mud and strike a match,
Draw a picture on the wall,
Roll some marbles down the hall,
Pour some ink in Daddy's cap---
Now go upstairs and take a nap.

Shelley Silverstein


Celery

Celery, raw
Develops the jaw,
But celery, stewed,
Is more quietly chewed.

Ogden Nash


Willie in his roguish way
Tipped Grandpa on the fire one day.
Mother said “My dear that’s cruel!
But of course it does save on fuel.”

Unknown

He proposed out of doors, suitor Ed
With a poem he'd written, which said:
"Love, I've no Diamond ring
But the Heart - that's the thing"
Then the Club from her Spade knocked him dead

Graham Lester

Saturday Afternoon at the Westerns
Posted by: palmettobug53, Saat: 09:59 PM GMT Tarih: 20 Nisan 2013 +0
Hubby can sit in his recliner all day long on Saturdays, watching his Westerns. He watches them all but his favorite is Gunsmoke starring James Arness as U.S. Marshall Matt Dillon.

I've watched my share of them over the years, as well.

When I noticed this morning that AMC was going to 'premier' reruns of Rawhide this afternoon, I started trying to remember all the other Westerns that we've watched.

P.S. It's been fun today watchin...

Good bye, Maudie Frickert!

I've been trying to come up with an idea for a new thread. Sadly, my allergies have got my brain rather fuzzy and unimaginative. It's simply too hard to think right now.

I'm going to take the easy way out and do an olio.

Though the first definition sounds yummy, I'm sticking with 2a, for the time being. Odds and ends and things that have piqued my interest lately.

OLIO

n. pl. olios
1. A heavily spiced stew of meat...

Women's History Month
Posted by: palmettobug53, Saat: 01:13 AM GMT Tarih: 04 Mart 2013 +2
In case you didn't know, March is Women's History Month


Last Sunday, I watched the documentary, "Makers," on PBS. It was quite the trip down memory lane: Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, NOW, feminism, ERA, Roe vs Wade, MS magazine.

After watching the film, I started thinking about how much has changed for women since then and how far we still have to go.

You do see more women in politics, sports and as business owners and CEOs...

Very cool link post # 102 - Back to Offbeat and Odd
Posted by: palmettobug53, Saat: 02:18 AM GMT Tarih: 01 Şubat 2013 +2
After reading about the Spam Museum in Shore's WP entry the other day, I got to thinking about other offbeat and odd museums I've read about or seen on TV.

There's the prickly Barbed Wire Museum.

How about the electrifying SPARK Museum of Electrical Invention?

There's the morbidly fascinating Mutter Museum.

You can yearn for a hot dog at the National Mustard Museum.

You can cringe at the Museum of Bad Art (MOBA)...
