Thanks

Did you ever ask yourselves..."How the hell did that happen???".....have a good weekend guys!!

[PamelaR]

Yeh, I did Moon. Came up empty of answers!! TBT, not sure where the discussion is going. I feel somewhat like smith in space.

You all have a good weekend too.

[Croix]

Dear PamelaR et al.~

I can think of two smiths in space - Dr. Zachary Smith from 'Lost in Space', and Steven Lee Smith from Real Life™. I do hope you mean the latter, the former was a most unpleasant character:)

Incidentally which discussion? The ones here just meander along.

Moon~ It would have happened because your true worth shone though - as Cecily would say "That certainly seems a satisfactory explanation, does it not?"

Croix

[PamelaR]

LOL Croix. Must confess - I was thinking of Zachary 🙂 However the Real Life character is good.

Okay, I'm good with meandering conversations / discussions.

That does not affect the wonderful beauty of his {your response} answer.

Croix....I noticed you mentioned the Mona Lisa on another thread....have you seen the real Mona Lisa in the Louvre? I used to be crazy about her in my teen years....also like that old Nat King Cole song "Mona Lisa"...

.read a great book Dinners with Edward.....and see it's to be made into a movie with David Suchet (Hercule Poirot)...should be a beauty. I like movies about mismatched friends, couples...platonic and far apart in ages but each finding such sustenance and sharing in their friendship.....

Read the book Tuesdays with Morrie recently too...it was made into a film too....with Jack Lemmon.

Dear Moon et al.~

Yes I had the obligatory look during a school outing, though at that age I had no appreciation at all, frankly I was much more interested in the street markets that abounded in those days, plus one of my freinds had a cigarette lighter that converted petrol to gas - fascinating, at least to me at the time:)

I tried the Tuesdays with Morrie book, but returned it half unread. I was all too conscious of the ending which alternately made me want to hurry up and stall.

"mismatched friends", did I ever mention to you the Les Intouchables ? If there were ever mismatched friends this is it. My apologies if I have cited it before.

Talking of apologies, fancy misquoting the inestimable OW! Tut tut. Still as he himself said "A poet can survive everything but a misprint"

Croix...do you like Haiku style poetry? can you write any? what about Rumi, the great Persian (I think) poet...one of his is quoted at the end of the film, Diana, after she died....."somewhere there is a garden, beyond right and wrong...I will meet you there"

I like the Haiku one that J.D Salinger wrote in one of his brilliant books.

"the little girl on the plane

who turned her doll's head around

to look at me".......................

Her escape and distraction
One wonders at bowl

Croix (who finds Haiku too deep - what did you expect of a walrus anyway?)

[Moonstruck]

Croix...dear sweet Walrus....I don't think your haiku was quite constructed 100% adequately...i.e. number of syllables in the 2nd and 3rd lines....but full marks for trying!! when inspiration hits...I will put one of mine up here...not as easy as it looks!
