Subject: catalina27-talk: RE: Lets get back to Catalina 27s

 

This is now getting ridiculous

This Forum as the name suggests should be about topics related to Catalina 27's

 

Lately it has lost its way becoming among other things

 

1 A place for very amateur writers to look for Kudos on what has been some very mediocre attempts at writing ... send these to editors .. they get paid to read dribble

 

2 A ridiculous political platform , at least point one contained a sailing theme but these political things have no place here

 

This Forum is self edited can we kindly get back to the theme . I want to read about improvements to Catalina 27 s

 

Enough please

 

Paul;

Obama is most definetly not my candidate.  Truth is.  And on this sailing site, sailing is.

And thanks, Ralph

There is just one thing I just don't understand regarding this present controversy:

Why hasn't Ralph written a bit of verse to bring healing to the list?

 

DT,

You asked for it..  LOL

r....

 

 

 

 

 

Twas several nights before  Christmas. That time of  the year.

When friends get together for laughter and cheer.

To celebrate  Peace and Good Will Towards all men,

No hatred, or complaining, or Flaming,,,  but Then,

What to my  wondering eyes should appear ?

But, a whole bunch of  "politics" on the list, Yes ! Right HERE!

I sprang to my keyboard with my blood running hot,

I'll tell 'em ALL just What's right and what's NOT!

A Rant that will set them all straight, that's for sure,

MY politics and religion, they're CORRECT ones and pure.

 

As I banged on my keyboard, my face turned quite red,

Then a little voice spoke to me, inside of my head,

'Tis the Season for forgiveness and to love one another,

You may not like his phlosophy, BUT he's really Your brother "

And there staring at the front of my LCD screen,

I suddenly realized what that voice truly did mean.

We're all Saints or Sinners and we may say a harsh word,

But we're bothers and sisters and no matter what's heard,

When it comes right down to it .. Whether on left or the right,

Whether by Intelligent Design or Darwinian delight,

We're in this "boat" together. We just have to get along,

There's a lot of what's Right and a whole lot of what's Wrong.

 

So I'm setting at my desk side and pondering for a while,

I guess I'll write a stupid poem and try to make the list smile.

And maybe like the Old Santa story where he goes off in his sleigh

I'll just write, "Merry Christmas and Peace to all" ....  Yep,, that's what I'll say !
