This thought struck me today as I realised that we must think in those terms. For do we not refer to the 'whole shooting match' as THE UNI-VERSE?
Now this IS collective a song challenge: To write the Uni-Verse……..?. Our at least A, Uni-Verse.
*(I have it in my head for some strange reason, that tune-wise this should be a square dance, calling,, music then verse, 'take your partners' type thing)
To Write The Uni-Verse

If your rhymes don't scan, when you try to write, If they just don't work, Though you work all night, If you start to think That you're not too bright, Don't dispair!You just need rhythm. If the songs keep buzzin' Through your head, If they wake you up, As you lie in bed, If it seems like rhyme , And line won't wed, Don't dispair! You just need rhythm. Just count the beat, It isn't tough, Though I'll admit That rhymings rough, You hang in there And sure enough, Hey Baby! You got rhythm! troll

THE UNI-VERSE The Uni-verse Song was an interesting idea, And I fear I'm too late to do more than just seeya. Your words were inspiring, your tunes a delight. Now is it time, dears, to bid a good night? Shamb laid the challenge, and you all have weighed in. But d'ye think that the Universe could actually fit in? The song need not end but the thread will wax long; And the time may soon come when we all will move on. Another sun's coming with another day's zest, And another opportunity to give Mudcat your best. Another idea, or challenge, or joke; A spirit to lift or, perhaps, eye to poke. Another book to be planned, or a tune to research. Lots of LOL, and perhaps a dessert. Tomorrow has come, and inside it I see That the Mudcat is always a good place to be.
