Leakys presence is in doubt
Has he gone somewhere to pout
A sharp rebuff from yesterday
May make him not come to play
Brenda Starr caused the rift
Creating there a little tiff
Silly squeakers is being a nut
I’m going to have to kick his butt
If indeed that is why he’s not here
To bless us with his good cheer.
WW, You get better and better each day. Now responding in verse to every little change in the direction of the wind flows around us.
That’s how the good Trinidad Calypsonians were years ago. Master craftsmen at describing “instantly”, change in the political agenda or in current social events. At times scolding and often with humor.
I’ve finally figured out the best way to read this board. Simply skip over any posting that has the word “Leaky” in it and assume it has something to do with Olduvai Gorge.
Mexico’s best remembered ‘assasination’ was that of former Soviet communist leader Leon Trotsky, a refugee exiled and hidding there, and eventually ‘taken out’ in 1940 by Joe Stalin’s Agents.

Well stated, wndrwrthg. I sure hope leaky is ok and returns soon. It’s not the same without him.
“told ya ! told ya!”
why DO folks say “I told you so” after the fact?
Is it to inform everyone that they were bright or lucky enough to foresee the future?–
and what else?—
nothing- it’s merely a phrase of self praise and self praise only
nothing personal, old bean, EVERYbody at one time or another says it

Leaky’s being shy tonight. ;-)

Maybe leaky is having a problem selecting an avatar to use.

At least they’re on to someone else!

Leaky, like you said with me, there is a fine for not being here. :^)

Gee, thanks, ML. I always liked Walter Brennan. I especially like the song, “Old Rivers”…

Lemme guess…Papa’s a nazi war criminal on the lam. He could’ve found a better hiding place than a Mexican resort.

I doubt it. Any Nazi war criminal would have to be as old as Walt Wallet.
I hope Leaky’s OK.
