Blog once forgotten...

Yes. I have officially forgotten my blog for some time now. I'm going to try and make it up to my blog by posting on it every day now. It will be glad to know I still care about it. In fact, here's a short poem that I will dedicate to my blog:

Oh sweet & precious blog!
Of mine so long yet so dear.
How wilt I ever truly hog
Another blog so near?

Of joy and of pain have I written on,
Years of service hast thou given.
Now I thank thee once again
For this post to have posted on.

This poem may not satisfy,
The goodness thou hast shown me.
But ever more shalt I be grateful
For a blog to write hello...goodbye.

Books for Young Men

Books are needed terribly
In every man's younger days.
I find it quite extremely important
In, well, actually several ways.

First and foremost,
It increases character.
If you have none, well,
You'll have it when mature.

It doth also strengthen and help
Our weak & troubled vocabulary.
Seeing as how we're not the brightest,
Nor smartest, when we but only query.

And yet another thing I do know
It doth enhance.
Our intellect! 'Tis true.
Ha! Is it not somewhat new?!

Yes, indeed books are wonderful,
But are they good? Do they teach love?
Well, depending on the book that you buy,
I wouldn't plan on the behavior said above.

What kind of Instrument is this?

88 keys stand in a row,
Black and white are they.
One thing that's great to know,
Is each one sounds in a quite different way.

True, all make music together,
When played correctly and in proper order.
But one thing is that they work as a team,
Not separate, but united, they sound as a dream.

At one end, a key is high.
Down yonder, another is low.
When put with each other,
Well, music's made & I think you know why.

Don't get stressed as to what it is
I'm sure you really know.
This ain't exactly a very hard quiz,
You just gotta keep guessing to and fro?

Slow times have come now that speech club is gone...

Slow times have come now that speech club has gone,
And I wonder, "What Shall I do?" at each day's new dawn.
Should I play in the fields with the dogs and such,
Or should I study hard to learn things like...Dutch?
What shall I do without speech club?
Oh, speech club, I miss you terribly so!

Sometimes I wonder while I sit alone in my room,
Is speech club all over and done with so soon?
How could it be that someone like me,
Would like to give speeches with this much glee?
What shall I do without speech club?
Oh, speech club, I miss you terribly so!

Now that this club's year is over,
I find I am picking this Spring's new clover.
'Tis true when I say, "I am now so sad,"
But speech club shall come again and then I'll be glad!
What shall I do without speech club?
Oh, speech club, I miss you terribly so!

I hope you know this is sad but don't take it too seriously. I can live without it. (For a while anyway)
