Internet illiteracy has got to the stage where Wordsworth is a fail? Dear oh dear…

LINES WRITTEN IN EARLY SPRING

I HEARD a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.

Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths; 10
And ’tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.

The birds around me hopped and played,
Their thoughts I cannot measure:–
But the least motion which they made
It seemed a thrill of pleasure.

The budding twigs spread out their fan,
To catch the breezy air;
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there. 20

If this belief from heaven be sent,
If such be Nature’s holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?

In this case, on site, out of mind.

No, it’s the site. It keeps trying to slip it past me.

Too late, there’s no point in explaining what it was since both cats on this site already liked it off my body.

I just saw Dave and Steve! They were with Mike.

No, but Steve was.

Was he carrying strawberries when he left?

By: la conejita

la conejita — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:32:27 +0000

Dammit, he went out for meat to the supermarket and hasn’t returned. Should I be worried that he’s with another woman?

Dave’s not here, man.

By: la conejita

Who has Dave?

That works. But have you made a permanent name change now?

OK. Do you have Tommy?

Maybe I linked to the homepage. The last link there is probably the one you posted.

And now for something completely different.

It’s!

Hey, I need to knead!

That wasn’t cream…

Which, as we all know, tastes like a Lexus. Although you only need a knife to cut it, in contrast with a blow torch.

Here I sit, broken hearted.
Came to sh!t and only farted.

See, I read a lot of poetry, too!

I was worried sick, but knowing you are a cat, I told myself not to overreact. if you’re going to come home, you’ll do it, if not, there’s nothing we can do. Either you’ve been hit by a car, or you found a better place to hang.
You can sit in my lap while I’m resting if you promise not to poke with your claws when you do that happy thing.

Yech, Chaucer.
I’ve been a bookworm since I was very young but I detested Chaucer. It was assigned in H.S. by a teacher who absolutely adored him. It had been only time I had to resort to Cliff notes. If she hadn’t become ill we would have spent more than half the year on him.

But I did bring back some gang stars from God, so I guess the weekend wasn’t a total loss.

Neither was I, but while I was, la conejita covered herself in strawberries and got cream on her whip. Boy, did we sure miss some party!

Well, now that she is gome, maybe you will need to be the call bunny!

I wasn’t gone very long…

That would not be the Link I posted. I think the one I posted was something about how to post emoticons.

Let us all pray for the day when we can take this in college or high school instead of having to slog through Chaucer. (You are exempt from this injunction, of course, Dr. H, since you like Chaucer and don’t like prayer.)

“Ammused”: Is that the name for previously fired spent plutonium shells?

Oh, that site requires a translator!! Thank you, kind sir!

What is going on? This used to work just fine.
I am on the hop, but will peruse that site.
That video is a favorite, SSs’ poem reminded me of it.
The archival footage is from 1960. Heh, pre-image stabilization.
SS, where did that come from? Did you mash that up?
I found some of the lines elsewhere, but it was completely different.
