Hey, there Mbo! A lovely offer indeedy! But what the heck's a lady, anyhow? ;-)

And where DID you get the idea that a person of the female persuasion needs to be lonely to enjoy a grand old smooch-fest?

Maybe hug your crow while I thinks me up suitable singable, just save yer smoochies for us feline friends.

An Cailín Gaelach (The Irish Girl)

B'aite liom féin a bheith 'r thaobh mala shléibhe
I would love to be on the mountain side
'Gus cailín Gaelach a bheith 'mo chomhair
And to be wed to an Irish girl
Bheinn dá bréagadh 's a' teannadh léithe
I would cajole and hug her
'Gus dar liom féin 'riú gur dheas ár ndóigh
And I think it would always be nice of course

'G éirí dom féin ar maidín an lae ghil
Upon rising at the dawn of a bright day
'S mé gabháil fáin choill chraobhaigh 's mé a' seoladh bó
And going to the thick woods to drive the cows
Tharla dom a' spéirbhean 'na suí ar a'léana
I met a beautiful girl sitting on the green grass
'S a fallaing léithe 's í lán de chnónn'
And her mantle full of nuts

D'fhiafraigh mé dithe go ciúin 's go céillí
I asked her softly and respectfully
'An nglacfaidh tú póg uaim a stór mo chroí?'
'Will you take a kiss from me, my own true love?'
D'oscail sí a beilín 'gus labhair sí Béarla
She opened her little mouth and she spoke English
'S é dúirt sí 'Pray sir, and let me be'
She said 'Pray sir, and let me be'

Nach maith an airí ar na buaibh bheith á santú
Don't the cows deserve to be appreciated
'Gus bheinnse á seoladh amuigh sa lá
And I could be driving them on through the day
Im agus bainne iad 'theacht a' tsamhraidh
From the summer comes butter and milk
'S mar gheall ar bhólacht a phóstar mná
And it's because of the cows that women marry

It's been a long time
Since I've talked to you.
Still I think about you now and then
And thought of calling to.
So there you are and here I am at last.
The line so clear and the time so near
It's like no time has passed.

I haven't been planning ahead these days.
You know I never did
I guess I haven't changed my ways.
And there's that laugh just like in my memory.
Did everything come back again
Or did it never leave?

Chorus
Love doesn't die.
Love is like a river.
Coming from the moutain above to the valley below.
You can try to change the way that it's going
But you're never going to keep it from flowing.
Love doesn't die.

Well I hear that you found somebody new.
Took a little time to change my mind
But I found someone too.
But still my thoughts of you keep coming back.
I never tried to hide them away
Cause there's no need for that.

Chorus
So lets not wait so long again next time.
Call me when the rates are down
Maybe drop a line.
And don't do anything I wouldn't do
I sure am glad you still feel that way
Cause I'm feeling that way too.

Love doesn't die.
Love is like a river.
Coming from the mountain above to the valley below.
You can try to change the way that it's going
But you're never gonna keep it from flowing.
Love doesn't die.

Mend him, , ye hot-hearted sweet lasses -- you, and you alone
Have power that will reach our Mbo's bones
Goddess has granted you the magic of the mending heart
So heal our friend, and his life newly start!
All of our loud and boyish cheer must yield to this:
The sweet divinity of one warm lady's kiss
So bring ye him your magic, and your touch
Who has been wounded overmuch
And thus display, for all poor men to see
The honest vessel of divinity...

Catspaw said I should write and tell you that I really don't have a kissing booth. That mean Cletus who's always hanging around here is always making fun of people kissing me on my rump. Well the other day I got really mad and told Cletus that he could kiss my entire ass! He's still being mean and I want Catspaw to do something, but he just tells me that you can't cure terminal stupidity and I should just ignore him.

I hope you have a nice time with your booth Mr. Mbo. We got some nice Valentine's here today including one with lots of chocolate from Ms. katlaughing and a real nice one too from Little Neo Bonnie. Ms. Bonnie even sent a picture that I really liked!!!

So you don't have to kiss me on the rump, but if you want to, you can still give me a kiss. I always have a little smile on my lips, but that's kind of hard to see in the pictures of me.

Happy Valentines Day to All my Friends at Mudcat.

Oy Mbo, ya may have a long night ahead of ya.

As I sat down one evening, twas in a small cafe
A forty year old waitress these words to me did say:

I see that you're a logger and not just a common bum
For no one but a logger stirs his coffee with his thumb.

I once had a logger lover. There's none like him today.
If you poured whisky on it, he'd eat a bale of hay.

My logger came to see me, 'twas on a winter's day.
He held me in a fond embrance that broke three vertebrae.

He kissed me when we parted so hard that it broke my jaw.
I could not speak to tell him he forgot his mackinaw.

(I'm soooooo looking forward to your grand Valentine kiss I can't even remember all the verses!)
It froze clear down to China. It froze to the stars above.
At at thousand degrees below zero, it froze my logger love.

They tried in vain to thaw him and if you believe it, sir,
They made him into axe blades to cut the Douglas fir.

And so I lost my lover and to this cafe I've come.
It's here I wait for someone *big hammed up ritardando* to stir coffee *piu mosso rit.* with his thummmmmmmmmmmb.

I'm all hot 'n' puckrd, eMbo...

I would take you under my wing just for your writing ability, if it were not for my honey of 26 years and the fact that I just MIGHT break your heart for good, if you loved me. Just where do you hang out, real time? Try the grocery store, and look for females shopping for one and ask a "STOOPID" question. Or, move to the Outlands, (ie,Wyo, Colo) and we'll find you a lady!

I finally get here and Mbo seems to have run off... Well, maybe if I sing real nice he'll come back after his jog. But ya'll gotta sing with me now, you know this... Kind friends all gather round, there's something I would say

That what brings us together here has blessed us all today

Love has made a circle that holds us all inside

Where strangers are as family, and lonliness can't hide

You must (chorus) Give yourself to love, if love is what you're after

Open up your hearts to the tears and laughter

And give yourself to love, give yourself to love

I've walked these mountains in the rain, I've learned to love the wind

I've been up before the sunrise to watch the day begin

I always knew I'd find you, though I never did know how

But like sunshine on a cloudy day, you stand before me now

So (chorus)

Love is born in fire, it's planted like a seed

Love can't give you everything, but it gives you what you need

Love comes when you are ready, love comes when you're afraid

It will be your greatest teacher, the best friend you have made

So (chorus) Give yourself to love, give yourself to love

Do we get round two for some more kisses?
Here goes, I think this is Frank Sinatra

You got to laugh a little
Cry a little
And let your poor heart die a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love

As long as there's the Mudcatters
We've got the whole world in our arms
And when there's not the Mudcatters
We'll sing a mournful song

You got to give a little
Take a little
And let your poor heart break a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love

Okay Mbo, this time I've got my eyes closed.

If you look for hidden things, you can find them.
You must open up your heart, not bar the door.
Only love can break the fear you bind your heart in.
Well its happened that way many times before.

There's no need to think of me, I'll be happy where I'm going.
I've got roots that need a planting, and a love that needs a growing.

Pelrad, Well since it is Mbo's booth and technically he should serve all comers (oops) he will have to kiss Spaw if Spaw has paid up, won't he? I didn't see any signs posted about the management having the right to refuse service to anyone it chooses, did anyone else see that?
