Hear that lonesome whip poor will

He sounds too blue to fly.

The midnight train is whining low,

I'm so lonesome I could cry.

I've never seen a night so long

When time goes crawling by.

The moon just went behind a cloud

To hide its face and cry.


Did you ever see a robin weep,

When leaves began to die?

That means he's lost the will to live,

I'm so lonesome I could cry.


The silence of a falling star

Lights up a purple sky.

And as I wonder where you are

I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Perhaps my favorite Hank Williams song-- I once heard a version of it done with just a hammer dulcimer as instrumental backup, and it was achingly beautiful-- but it doesn't reach the pure pathos of Commander Cody's greatest work...

Maybe only stoners can understand, LOL...

Why on earth would PETA offer bodyguards to a carrot??

I'm SOOOOOOOO confused...

because ****** CARROTS NEED LOVE TOO....

 

[5Stars]

And they call the Cowboys losers.

That's OK.

NO! That is not OK!

:starspin

 

[5Stars]

Because this thread sucks, and you got sucked...

Wow...?

When you said this thread sucks. It reminded me of something!

I just can't figure out what it was!

Freaky.

Carrots need to know their place...

That place is in a carrot and raisin salad...

 

[silverbear]

And they call the Cowboys losers.

That's OK.

NO! That is not OK!

:starspin

If we were really losers, could we come up with the inspired lunacy that graces this thread??

I think not...

 

[silverbear]

Wow...?

When you said this thread sucks. It reminded me of something!

I just can't figure out what it was!

Freaky.

A Hoover?? A Dirt Devil?? An Oreck??

That's as much energy as I plan on expending while trying to plumb the recesses of your mind... it's dark in there, and lonely... I nearly didn't make it back out...

Back out, back in... maybe... back down, backdoor, who left the gate open? look a pair of eyes were just left on the ground that they were attached to a face was less disturbing than that face had no body...now who would just leave their head laying around like that and about that gate.

 

[cowboyed]

Not me....

I have a wonderment in my mind that I cannot erase. Something special.

You have two minds, one is lost the other is looking for it...

OMG, I hope 2010 doesn't bring more of this "Hos The Joke Teller."

It's gonna be a LONG year.

 

[coblue]

In the end was the beginning

OMG, I hope 2010 doesn't bring more of this "Hos The Joke Teller."

It's gonna be a LONG year.

Real Long

Here 5Stars just for you...

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And–which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!

Exactly...

I knew you'd understand, Zax-man, and knowing that comforts me...

BTW, I didn't leave the gate open... honest... I think it was Hos...

I cannot believe that a guy (me) cannot have a friendly cold glass of orange juice without being harrassed by a bunch of long neck Cowboys!

And the damn penny was "heads up" when I picked it off the sidewalk. Wow!
