29 Apr 99 - 03:40 PM (#74361) Subject: THE Mudcat Song (Come and write a verse!!) From: Sam Pirt OK Mudcatters now I'm really testing you out!! I've had an idea (Oh No, brase yourselfs!!) I seem to have picked up from the threads that Mudcat needs a song, correct? I thought so. So heres where my idea fits in. Below I have written a Chorus but You, thats right, yop have to write the Verses. Not only will we end up with the longest song in history written by the most people (record breakers may show an interest here) but the song will trully be the mudcatters song as it will have been written by Mudcatters after all!! Heres the chorus: - Listening, reading, thinking and writing All about a world thats all mixed up Believing, retrieving, conceiving and weaving Positive messages for people that look Have a go write a verse!!! Cheers Bye, Sam |

In a intricate world a pattern unfurls They are bound by the love of a song And the soft, gentle beat or the rich strong heat Of the words that keep them strong. Free of image that hides the sweetness of minds The ballard of life is shown. Though the friend is unseen the friendship is keen And harmony world wide is grown. The quick beat of the past and the world deep and vast Encompassed in voices of those Who send each thread of light to a small screen so bright And each life fills with songs as it grows. needs a bit more work but my chemistry revision books are calling to me... love ivy b. |
