Who are you?! Is the question directed at me? rOm, I didn't get that question.... am I looking different? Is my id coming garbled / jumbled? Self - belief is the most potent force.

Oh, Mandrake you are just one hell of a guy. Hats off to your great sense of poetic humor. I am thoroughly enjoying all this & am laughing my guts out. Thou art a magician after my heart. You are definitely a sweet heart. We need more such spontaneous burst of poetry from you.
The magic spell that you had self-imposed has at last been cast aside Now you have enthralled us with the true colours of poetic pride "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
"Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad. " "You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. " George Bernard Shaw |

Mandrake,I missed your poetry as when I hit the page the last post that was by Shivani, came into view. As I was in a hurrry, ready to leave for work, I did'nt notice the one above. I am surely sorry for that. Your post & I should miss, never. With you & Rom around there is never a dull moment. You guys are the life blood of the forum.

QUOTE The one time I chanced my arm(??) at poetry I think I've shot myself in the foot Catch won't be interested in catching my attention and Shivani just doesn't care one hoot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad1.gif) She has to be a girl as she's called 'She'-vani And I better bow down to her tyranny And start praying hard to win some forgiveness For she won't talk to me any I dont care a bit so he says if that's what he thinks fine I am he doesnt read me misinterprets misquotes why should I give a damn my advances are throttled crushed smeared and smashed away and always put in place by witty remarks oh pray! do I have a word left to say and flattered am I you think when a tyrant I am called I ponder over each word I uttered what left him so apalled |

QUOTE Oh, the interesting games we play To solve puzzles, clear as day I am a mystery, so people say It is interesting to leave it that way Imagine a beautiful lass, a 1000 miles yonder with a mischeivous smile, she begins to ponder Whence thy cometh, where thy goes thou art an enigma, nobody knows "We have to live today by what truth we can get today, and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood." -William James |

Who are you?! Is the question directed at me? rOm, I didn't get that question.... am I looking different? Is my id coming garbled / jumbled? No, I can see your ID all right. That question was asked in the style a kid employs in a Louis L'Amour book... asks the big laconic stud who wipes out the local pests with a sudden burst from his six-shooter.

QUOTE Louis L'Amour book Ha, you too are a louis l'amour fan. I never knew there were so many 'Honda the Apache' or 'Cat Ballou' around. "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."

Yes, I guess I can be called a Louis L'Amour fan... though I haven't read many of his books over the last several years. Re-read one last month, though...

QUOTE Forget the falsehoods, let us live for today, Tomorrow may never see the light of day For what is false but truth unexplored and tomorrow will see its glory restored. Rommy..

Hey, is this becoming a new trend?
Will it drive others round the bend? Will poetic post replace prose Will it leave other HFers morose? Will we all end up talking in rhyme? And by habit produce something sublime? Or will this drive my friend rOm crazy? And leave his brain befuddled and hazy? Will the admins suffer us any more? Ya kaat daalenge hamari dor? Gosh!!! Time to vamoose from this thread before Judge Dread hangs me (rOm, I do hope you remember who Judge Dread is. If not, search on HF ) Self - belief is the most potent force.
