The Princess gazed down from her ivory balcony
And in the garden there was a tiger to see
"Why, that is absolutely the pet for me,"
(She was quite taken with the feline beauty).

And so through the garden she did walk
The tiger meekly purred and did not balk
The gardeners to a man did gawk,
Calling warnings about the tiger they did talk.

Growing bolder and bolder with every stride
The Princess ignored the warnings at her cried
And setting out on the tiger, she did ride,
Only to come back quite completely inside...

Figure one way to stimulate activity is to be active. Not my best, but as my first in several years - not my worst either.

Had to go back and read "Should I post?" before I clicked!

Truer words of wisdom seldom said Master P.

Methinks I may take a swing at your example... :)

Need to write more myself, will do as soon as I get back home!

Lol.

Great stuff here P.
Does 'pride before the fall' realy mix into the 'Should I post?' philosophy though? ;)

If only that were the case...
But it's "a haughty look before a fall, and pride before destruction."

But you raise an interesting point. hmmm
