And a good Day-o to you too, Wordwind, and thanks.
I, the mechanical Praying Mantis, have been lurking and waiting here in the far right side of your computer screen 
for an innocent, beautiful, Golden-Green Jeweled Dragon-fly-ness
like you to become entangled in the sticky crystalline
words of this web thread. NOW I POUNCE...
New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours
I was rolling slowly 'cause of Christmas showers
Up come a flattop he was movin'up with me
Then waved good-bye in a little ole souped up fifty
I put my foot in my tank and I blew my horn
Bye Bye New Jersey I become airborne
'Cause you can't catch me
'Cause if you get to close you know I'm gone
like a COOOOooooooOOOOL Breeze!
THE SONG AFTER MAYBELENE - Chuck Berry
Note: It would have been fitting to follow Wordwind's caribbean theme with
Chuck Berry's Havana Moon - a great song.
But I couldn't find a single word to match.
Besides I wanted to experiment with my wide screen cute-ism.
It worked on my screen, but if it messed up anybodys scroll, PM me and I'll delete it. -mw

Havana moon, Havana moon
Me lay down alone, was good the rum
Me fall asleep, the boat she come
The girl she look till come the dawn
She weep and cry, "Return for home"
The whistle blow, me open me eyes
Was bright the sun, was blue the sky
Me grab me shoes, me jump and run
Me see the boat head for horizon
Havana moon, is gone the rum
The boat she sail, me love she gone
Havana moon, Havana moon
Didn't catch her either!
Havana Moon
Chuck Berry

Don't worry about a thing
cause every little thing is gonna be alright
don't worry about a thing
every little thing is gonna be alright
Rise up this morning
smiled with the rising sun
three little birds
pitch by my door step
singing sweet songs
of melodies pure and true
saying, this is my message to you:
don't worry about a thing...
Three Little Birds -Bob Marley

C'mon angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
"Tonight's The Night"
~~Rod Stewart

Everything dies baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
Looking for a little romance
Given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes
I have been blind
The Lady in red
Is dancing with me
Cheek to cheek
redThere's nobody here
It's just you and me
It's where I want to be
And I hardly know there's beauty by my side
I'll never forget the way you look tonight
The Lady in Red by Chris DeBurgh
This one goes out to our very own Lady in Red.

Hearts of fire creates love desire Take you high and higher to the world you belong Hearts of fire creates love desire High and higher to your place on the throne We’ve come together on this special day To sing our message loud and clear Looking back we’ve touched on sorrowful days Future pass, they disappear You will find peace of mind If you look way down in your heart and soul Don’t hesitate ‘cause the world seems cold Stay young at heart ‘cause you’re never (never, never, ..) old at heart That’s the way of the world Plant your flower and you grow a pearl A child is born with a heart of gold The way of the world makes his heart grow cold THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WORLDMaurice White, Charles Stepney & Verdine White POST EDIT Qweek Draw strikes again! Oh, please Mr. Milo, make the thread go unwide. Please please please? Please!

Everything [dies] baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that [dies] someday comes BACK.
...er...that you Whitty?...O O...a little spooky on the
board tonight...O O...ah come on whitty, is that you?...
The night was black rain fallin' down
Looked for my baby she's no where around
I traced her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone for ever more
I looked at the sea, and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cryin' from the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
Why did we quarrel why did we fight
Why did I leave her alone tonight
That's why her foot steps ran into to the sea
That's why my baby has gone from me
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cryin' from the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
I ran in the water heart full of fear
There in the break I saw her near
I reached for my darlin' held her to me
I stole her away from the angry sea
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
You took your baby from me away
My heart cried out she's mine to keep
I saved my baby from an endless sleep.
ENDLESS SLEEP - Marshell Crenshaw
POST EDIT: Consuelo, why is it that the minute
I turn my back you and troves take my place in line?
Gee Whizzz...

Long time ago, on a cold dark night,
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
Just a few on the scene, and they did agreed,
That the man who ran, looked a lot like me.
The judge said, "Son, what's your alibi?
If you were some where else then you don't have to die."
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
For I had been in the arms of my best friend wife.
.................................................
She walks these hills in a long dark veil
She visits my grave, when the night winds wail
No body knows and no body sees,
No body knows but me.
