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!

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...

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

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.
