Newbie and Strange, i understand
seem less desireable than Old Hand
but wit and grace
should rule this place,
An ideal, maybe, but wouldn't it be grand!

if we treat titles as Pooh Bah or Addict
as if they were some kind of edict
instead of whim
who's virtue is slim
then virtualy empty post to achive, i predict!

Friendship here is silver, shiny bright
to maintain it, we polish with all our might
but brimston and fire
tarnish desire
so from such caustic vapors, take flight!

as just a short aside, brimestone, is a burning sulfur, and sulfur dioxide is a prime cause of tarnish on silver. -- i started out trying to rewrite the girlscout song about "Make new friend, keep the old, One is silver, one is gold"
