Lori,
Of course I noticed the challenge forum. It wouldn't be your site if there weren't brain-frying challenges all over the place. :) I'll try to get something in for the "Autumn Leaf", but I just don't know if I'll get there in time.
And don't worry, I'm here to stay. You're stuck with me. You shouldn't have come up with such a wonderful place for me to play.
Dan

It's my pleasure to join in the pack, though the rhyme in this piece sorta lacks. One little request- just spoken in jest- It's OUR KANSAS, and we want it back.
Grace,
Thank you so much for your welcome. It's nice to see such a friendly community, and I'm honored to be a part.

Ahhh Dan, Dan, what can I say? Your visit has brought you to stay! I'm so glad you're here V-Lad; we've jolly good fun in play.
WORDplay is what we do; please accept my welcome to you to join as we learn old habits to burn; new thinking for me and for you.
Well, not so great, but it is late ...
Blessings, Athena/Merri/Dolly Familiar are faces in Mosaic, the folks are so quick, not prosaic. I see Merridoll has joined in the ball. Let's play as if words . . . algebraic.
Hey Merri,
So good to see you again. And I'm afraid I've moved past late into "way too damn early". It's great to be welcomed to MM so wonderfully.
Dan

Welcome back to Our Gracie. eeh lass, we missed thee. Hey A,
I'm afraid I've been up for nearly 28 hours now, and just cannot come up with any witty replies (which irks me to no end).
I do appreciate all of you for your friendly welcome to your playground (I got dibs on the monkey-bars!). It means a lot, and is very well received.
Thanks to all,
Dan

This is quite fun to read!
Ok here goes another lame Cleo attempt at limerick:
At MM you'll find quite a crew we're witty and quite like to chew on words of our stage where muses engage performing in style for you!
There's gods of the lore in our midst and pharaohs provide ancient twists on scrolls meant to last we'll dig up the past aMUSing your intellect gist!

When all of these words have been read And Limericks all put to bed The man who said liquor was quicker and slicker Might well have been proud of this thread.
Can't remember his name, but he was a famous American poet!

Atlantis may fall to the power of time, in this horrible hour. Abstain from the tears. Control all your fears. Just wait till he's been to the shower.
It's amazing what a couple hours of sleep will do for you (and this pot of pure Kenyan coffee sitting here }.

Sometimes when you're awfully tired and your thoughts are all mickled and mired You may try hard to write But you give up the fight For you find that your muse has expired.

A. My muse is unamused at your lack of faith in her craftiness- her knack. For she has no watch, but sips at her scotch, and thinks for my mind, till it comes back.
Yeah, I know. My muse isn't very amused at this poor effort, either. But she'll scold me later, then we can make up.
