Free Republic

It's bothering me that I can only get the first lines down. Help me out!

See for example this thread first. A fourth round pick for Randy Moss? If he doesn't work out, no great loss I'm a believer in the wide receiver ...but then again, I'm not his boss.

PALO ALTO, Calif.--Those who were born in Year One of the Russian Revolution are now entering their 10th decade. Of the intellectual class that got its vintage laid down in 1917, a class which includes Eric Hobsbawm, Conor Cruise O'Brien and precious few others, the pre-eminent Anglo-American veteran must be Robert Conquest. He must also be the one who takes the greatest satisfaction in having outlived the Soviet "experiment." Over the years, I have very often knocked respectfully at the door of his modest apartment ("book-lined" would be the other standard word for it) on the outskirts of Stanford University,...

My Dragon Fly and Me If I could be a Dragon Fly and wing my way through the sky I would never be shy just me and my Dragon Fly! By moonlight we ride the wind chase the comets tail for fun by day we would hide from the sun our fragile wings would come undone On darkest nights we would use fireflies as our guide we would dip and we would glide through the heavens open wide and scatter diamonds in the night sky my Dragon Fly and me...

Serving the best military in the world,welcome to the Coffee Klatch~ ~Wanna write a limerick? Welcome to the Coffee Klatch, the cyber coffee bar at your local Canteen.
