Writing’ Tweetin’ Bloggin’
Those who can Write
Those who can’t Tweet
Those who do neither Blog
If you are following me you know which category I fall in. It takes too much time and effort to write. Not enough time and effort to tweet. A blog suits me fine. I can give it as little or as much time and effort as I want. I am out to please myself and no one else. But I will be very pleased if you get trapped here in my blog.
I once used the word twat and really got called on it. That word coming from the keyboard from such a nice old lady? I wasn’t about to back peddle and produced the definition from some English Dictionary. a foolish or despicable person
I hate it when words have meanings that make it hard to use in nice company. Take the word gay. In the community I live in you better not be speaking that word and you best not be one either.
I like the word gay. It is short and it rhymes with so many words. I need that word for my gay silly poems. And I do use it but often get a silent reprimand.
Here’s hoping and wishing happiness and good fortune to all gay gays.
Let’s go to the movie or a theater play
Or sail in a schooner on the ocean bay
Let’s go to the florist and buy a bouquet
But please don’t tell me that you are gay
Let’s visit Calcutta or even Bombay
Or climb the Alps and stay in a chalet
Let’s go fishing and fry a fillet
But please don’t tell me that you are gay
Let’s go to the malt shoppe and enjoy a parfait
Or get a telescope and see the Milky Way
Let’s visit Alice and play some croquet
But please don’t tell me that you are gay
I wanted to ask you to a cafe
I wanted to invite you to enjoy a buffet
But you betrayed and led me astray
On the Lord’s Day you told me you were gay
I did write the above poem but found the following in the newspaper and liked it. Don’t know whom to give credit.
There once was a limerick fan
Who claimed to be a good Christian man
But he growled at the gays
And their different ways
Claiming gays are not part of God’s plan
Opinions this man has plenty
But insights he hasn’t many
For if God hates gays
And their different ways
Then why has God made so many
i dont have any problem with mutual love of two adults, in any form as long as they belong to same species and are not betraying someone third, i dont know how will i react to interspecies love though….
loved your poem and the one you shared.
Yes, the interspecies would also be questionable to me also.
It is about mutual consent of adults and without the betraying.
The subject is more than my little blog can solve.
Meme, this is a brilliant, absolutely wonderful post and I loved it!
Love is to be and should be so wonderful and rewarding.
Don’t no why some want to make it hurtful and shameful.
Brilliant!Let’s celebrate the freedom of words! I love the thoughts here and the words used and, to arjaybe, wish I’d written that too. Wish I had half the wit shown in this blog!
Cheers to you
Yes, freedom of words. It is easy to forget that not everyone has that privilege.
Each blog has its own flavor. I will come to yours and try to look beautiful and you can come to mine and be witty. lol
I presume that is your picture? Beautiful!
You are a star!
And thank you for the compliment! 
I don’t tweet, but I do write, and lately I’ve begun to blog, although the blogging was begun strictly in support of the writing. But i still don’t tweet, although I have noticed that sometimes people use tweets to twit twerps, which I might enjoy. Especially those twits who like to spend their time trying to take the gaiety out of things. Twats!

I wish I had written that. LOL
You need to start another blog.
Another blog? I would need a pseudonym. Maybe Sue Dohnim. Or Fah Seachuss. Hey, with names like that I might be eligible for the Sisterhood Award.-)
But the work! -shudder-

I think it is like many things……once you openly say it/do it, there is this feeling of relief. But I don’t know about saying you are gay. Yes, takes bravery.
Yes, it is just another way of being. And will continue to be way after some of us beings are no long being.
This is wonderful, the idea and the poem … to the glorious freedom of words … and ALL the words at that!
Cheers!

There are all different ways of saying it. And it needs to be said in all different ways so the message reaches many different people.
Thanks!
Using the word “twat” is so gay…
Because being gay is awesome, if you ask me. I’m not gay personally, of course, but good for anyone self-aware enough and brave enough to realize this about himself.
