I was probably 6 years old and the image of a young child on her father, whether "dancing" with him or climbing on him, is very precious and sweet to me. I know it could be taken in the "rude" way as Tam suggests, but I didn't take it that way at all.<BR/><BR/>Keep on writing!<BR/><BR/>Laura<BR/>http://zentalfloss.blogspot.comLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850130802615924865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-76819882245566940772008-05-03T16:42:00.000+01:002008-05-03T16:42:00.000+01:00Rox, thanks for all the support!Mushy, me too!Ken,...Rox, thanks for all the support!<BR/><BR/>Mushy, me too!<BR/><BR/>Ken, you crack me up. I'd probably have to answer in the absolute affirmative! Actually, when I saw that pic on your current post I thought it was Bear Grylls for a moment!<BR/><BR/>Henson, I think it's pretty gross just eating a snake. Last night on the show Bear ate some huge mother grubs, and when he was eating a big juicy one, all the guts spilled out in a string down his face and halfway down his chest. GROSS!<BR/><BR/>Definitely check out recaps and youtube and videos at <A HREF="http://www.beargrylls.com" REL="nofollow">Bear Grylls' Website</A>. But the show airs on the Discovery Channel every Friday night at 9pm, and normally reruns quite often throughout the week.<BR/><BR/>Rox, I wouldn't exactly say that Henson Ray is the half-naked guy you refer to cause it's a pic of just his head, but his blog is f*cking hilarious. I found him through EntreCard, I've favorited him, and I make it a point to read his stuff every day. Definitely a blog to keep an eye on if you enjoy using your facial muscles to contort your skin into a grin.<BR/><BR/>Cheers all, and thanks for commenting!Matthew S.

It's something you don't think about, that something like a nursery rhyme might die out and yet so many have. I think the competition was a very good idea. And yours was a respectable effort but don't give up the day job.Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-90556409533645171682008-05-01T12:26:00.000+01:002008-05-01T12:26:00.000+01:00Delightful - Really.

(Bit harsh, but I'm really serious about my nursery rhymes)<BR/><BR/>It seems a bit too adult for a nursery rhyme. Not adult in the rude sense (although I mighta rethought the "plenty to cling onto" line, that might give a judge an excuse to eliminate it) but in the subtle humour of the last stanza. On the shortlist, there is a poem about putting a sick computer to bed and giving it some medicine. I think that's more the thing they're after.<BR/><BR/><I>While I'm at it, the last stanza looks like one where it's immediately obvious what half of the rhyming couplet was created first, and I think something is wrong with the rhythm of the first stanza, maybe too many syllables in the last line.</I>Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096057521160935889noreply@blogger.com
