Big fat hairy bumblebees are the worst. But they don't even have a sting!

(And you'll never get bitten by a bee, John. They can't do that sort of thing.)

(That rhymes, I see. And sort of scans.)

No doubt the guy went home and had a big drink of Mad Dog to get over the hare that bit him.

well actually the females do McGrath but the males don't. Only pick the bumble bee with a round bum off flowers. If they have a pointed bum, watch out, they're females.

Ok, you got my goat Little Hawk, you nitpicking ... I can't keep track of what animals they hump in Hull.

When it comes to Hull I think almost anything that moves is in danger of being humped. It's best to drive through with the windows up and the doors locked and not make eye contact.

Besides, poemtry is about feelings, not what specific animal captures your dreams. You got a Dylan book there in the Orillia library, I can't remember the title. The second chapter get into Dylan's "How does it feel?" Then, for the rest of the book the author keeps going back to, How does it feel? How does it feel? How does it feel?

He thought it was the essence of Dylaning - feelings, not fact, not truth, not precise descriptions of animals, just feelings.

With whom are you trying to avoid contact? jOhn or the goat?

I have tried 3 times to post a message to this thread and it WILL NOT go through! Let's see if this one does...

It did, but the original one will not. Unbelievable.

Fine. I'll retype it.

Sounds like a plausible approach to me. If the feeling isn't there not a hell of a lot usually happens, in my experience.

I agree. "How does it feel?" is really the vital question...

The air is getting hotter
There's a rumbling in the skies
I've been wading through the high muddy water
With the heat rising in my eyes
Every day your memory grows dimmer
It doesn't haunt me like it did before
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door

When I was in Missouri
They would not let me be
I had to leave there in a hurry
I only saw what they let me see
You broke a heart that loved you
Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore
I've been walking that lonesome valley
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door

People on the platforms
Waiting for the trains
I can hear their hearts a-beatin'
Like pendulums swinging on chains
When you think that you lost everything
You find out you can always lose a little more
I'm just going down the road feeling bad
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door

I'm going down the river
Down to New Orleans
They tell me everything is gonna be all right
But I don't know what "all right" even means
I was riding in a buggy with Miss Mary-Jane
Miss Mary-Jane got a house in Baltimore
I been all around the world, boys
Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door

Gonna sleep down in the parlor
And relive my dreams
I'll close my eyes and I wonder
If everything is as hollow as it seems
Some trains don't pull no gamblers
No midnight ramblers, like they did before
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door

On Hull threads, you have to wait until the goat gives you permission to post.

What is this long thing that you are dangling into cyberspace? Are you responding to my three-liner or did you catch Dylan on a bad day?

Here's a dangerous animal (see if the link sticks around for a couple of days).

The caption said the shot was a little short and the cat sunk the shot with one paw.

Context is everything, isn't it?
