Chosun Juan
Given to Fly

-?! ..... Binary Synopsis 101 ...... brings PrimeHD for Chosun Juan 
.
Well folks, the time she is a ticking
Highlights, a few for slim picking
Hundreds of pages, yet mostly guff
Like posting the "day", n other boring stuff
A few have stepped up, to try n entertain
Hopes of winning a Zen-Ray, statistically in vain
But thanks to those, with something to say
A funny ol' way, to win a Zen-Ray
You'll have no more chance, for efforts put in,
Raised smile across the globe, a consolation win
So below is a sample, o' fancy tickling posts
Don't be disheartened if yer not there, invisible ghosts
'Cause with over 10,000, there's too many to choose
Charles must be happy with the success, nothing to lose
So a big Cheerio, to Zen-Ray and the boys
For the chance to win, some of their very nice toys!
:t: Chosun :gh:
P.S. Special thanks (or should that be curses!!)
to Gretchen for introducing us to Haikus and Cinquains,
and dantheman - Jerry Seinfeld's lawyers are on the phone for you :-O ...... want to discuss something about a B movie ??!
and alan_rymer (what an appropriate surname!) - too many good posts to list .... but my fav would have to be making your own Water! :-D
Hard Times Indeed!!
Loved your "Kids Truisms" (Ok I admit it *choked* up a coupla times - awww), and your "Dog Plumber" was a ripper!
reminds me of a story I heard out this ways ....
_____________________________________________________________
A bloke is driving along a dusty country road out in the "bush" middle of a summer's day, when his car breaks down ..... miles from anywhere
Try's turning the key ..... nothing
So he gets out of his car, sweltering heat, opens the bonnet and has a look around ..... clueless
Scratches his head ...... starts to despair
Just then, he hears a voice from over his shoulder "Check the distributor" .....
Huh?! He bangs his head as he wheels around to see who it was .....
Dazed and confused he sees no-one .... the only other living creatures around are two horses, one black, one white, the other side of the fence ....
He returns to stare hopelessly at the dead engine, getting really worried now, when he hears the same voice ...... "Check the distributor" .....
WTF! he spins around, and around ...... no-one in sight ...... he's really starting to panic now .....
He looks again, no-one as far as the horizon ..... just the two horses over the fence (he thinks he's really lost the plot now .... hearing things)
He's half turned back to the car, when the white horse says, "Check the distributor" .....
FMD! did that horse just speak?! (I must be hallucinating) ...... "W-w-w-haat ??" he stammers ......
"Check the distributor" ..... (shaking now) he says "What?!" ......
"Check the distributor" ..... "you've got a loose wire" .....
Completely freaked out now, and in a total fog, he turns back to the engine .... and sure enough the wire to the distributor is off .....
He hooks it back up, and runs around to try the car - Vrooom! Shuts the bonnet without making eye contact with the horse, slams the door, and guns it ...... outta there!
Heads for the nearest pub, and staggers in pale as a ghost...... "W-w-h-iskey!" ..... downs it in one go - didn't even touch the sides
"Another" .... "make it a double!" woof! down she goes ....... "jeez mate", says the bartender - "you all right?"
"W-w-h-ite H-h-o-rse ...... s-s-spoke ..... t-t-old me t-the d-distributor w-wire's loose w-when my c-c-c-c-aa-rrr broke down ....."
Bartender pauses, looks at the bloke and says, "jeez mate" ...... "you were lucky it wasn't the black one" ..... (long pause) .....
"he knows nuffin' about cars ......"

An earlier attempt at haiku:
Bulbuls brightly sing
Bobbing on cold bare branches
Making winter warm
Wife Says : "I wants a divorce".
Husband: "But you're supposed to love me no matter what."
Wife: "You have me confused with Jesus."
I OWE MY MOTHER BECAUSE:
My mother taught me RELIGION.
"You better pray that will come out of the carpet."
Re:- alan_rymer ..... You are killingme!! It is amazing what we mothers say without realizing how ridiculous it is!!!
I am looking foward to your posts as much as I am the chance to win a new pair of Zens...maybe more so!!!!:clap:
"O Lord help me win this great pair of Zens!
One that won't let CA in through it's lens!
My friends all have alphas and I must make amends!
O Lord help me win this great pair of Zens!
Ceasar Roberto, Bel Canto Supremo
A Sparrowhawk came by the garden one day
And said to the Sparrows
Don't fly away, I'd like to play
The Sparrows they said
There's just one snag
The only game you play, is tag
And we fear you'll eat us all today
So please go away
The Sparrows, they flew
And the Sparrowhawk too
And said I only wanted to play today
I'd have seen the action better with a pair of Zen-Ray
So please let me win a pair today ||
As a denizen of a country stuffed with birds I could make such good use of Zen-Ray binoculars which would enable me to pick out not just those brazen avian tarts bedizened with garish colour ready to cozen me into stunned admiration, but also those many dozen little browny ones hidden in the multiplicity of browny foliage. The clarity of such an image would then be eternally frozen in my mind and I think the joy of such an experience would make me a better citizen. . . .

You, sir, are an interesting cat.
Can new members enter? If so here's a reply.
And a poem:
Roses are red, violets are blue,
Birds are so pretty, this site seems to be too.
![]()
The beauty and elegance of nature,
Brisk air wading through tall grass,
A bird singing in the morning light,
Honey bees humming to the flow of the sun...
How I love the natural world...
and would love some great binoculars to see it though from afar.
Now it's time to say goodnight,
goodnight, sleep tight,
Now the sun turns out its light,
goodnight, sleep tight,
Close your eyes and I'll close mine,
Goodnight, sleep tight,
Dream sweet dreams for you and me...
Dream sweet dreams for a Prime ED.
(goodnight everybody, everybody everywhere... goodnight)

A lovely sunny Sunday
I might go birding today
How much better it would be, really
If only I could see clearly
With some nice new bins by Zen-Ray
Going birding today
Wish I had some Zen-Rays
'Twould help me to see clearly
What I now see only 'nearly'
These are truisms that only kids can express. A group of
professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8
year-olds "What does love mean?"
The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could
have imagined.
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is
different. You know that your name is safe in their
mouth."- Billy - age 4
Nice to travel to work in daylight,
a few corvids up and about.
Also some gulls standing out white,
wailing their eerie shout.
Early commute to beat the rush,
nice to hear the singing thrush.

A little prayer (It's not fair)
I'd quite like to christen
A pair of the mighty new zen
Useful for field and fen
I've posted quite often;
In fact, again and again.
Top bins, so goes the gen
Out in the field for hen
But I dinna ken
Why they went to Len,
New monarch of the glen
On mispelt birdforem
(Like happens now and then)
Along with the other men
And birding women
This missive, thought I'd pen
Useful for Eagle and Wren
He's gonna sen'
A pair or ten -
Although for just one I yen,
(ok, mebbe a second for the girlfrien')
- But when?!!!!!!!!!
Please send me those Zen!
So let it be, Amen

I get so excited to see all the frog reports! We are in a very dry and amphibian unfriendly area - so glad some of you are enjoying local frogs! (I hopefully will see a few here this year, but it's not so easy...)
(New poem form: cinquain. I am a complete novice, and just having a try)
Froglets
Miniature frogs
Hopping everywhere now!
Tiny, fragile, brave and numerous
Transient.
Wow! more poems! Thanks Sal and Chris ... I'm missing the nice pictures we were having before. Jokes, pictures, poems, an interesting thread...
A temporary community,
Some rhyming with impunity
Others briefly in the vicinity
Do they all have some affinity?
Seeking the same opportunity!*
.....
Grey sky of dull steel
cool but still a spring feel
some tulips sprout
and daffodils out
improves the trip in on two wheels.
Multi-striped honey machine.
a b I c
she sits on a leaf
def to my plea.
g, I think
h, I sigh
I think, I sigh
A J flies by.
O K, so you're kinectly unsound,
one L of a conundrum ...
Mmmm ... , I sit on the ground.
Failing to hum, leaning on a doldrum.
n o. That don't impress me much.
PJ's so stripey and gay
(blithe, not as in Q R S, just thought I'd say)
Busy buzzy busybeeness to a T
Working the world, in UV
But ... W...Why now so still?
Hope you aren't shortly
To become an X bee ...
O pretty little Bee
Y R U so sleepy?
.....Zzzzzzzz .... ???
as the sun scuttles.
Time passes.
I itch.
.... zz
.. zzzzzzzzzzzzZ
... BZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you're off ......
Why do duck's have flat feet?
To put out forest fires...
Why do elephant's have flat feet?
To put out flaming ducks!!!!
It was a cloudy day as I was sitting there holding my Zen-Rays. When all of a sudden like a bolt of light I heard a screech thats only heard at night. As I positioned my Zen-rays to my eyes it was to my great delight that I got to see the creature of the night. To my amazement it was a barn owl staring at me like I was a clown. With my Zen-Rays up against my face I could see his old eyes staring at me with such mighty grace.
My Zen-Ray poem #4 By Tazzilla
The Pointed End
Heavy head held low, hidden in the grass;
Horn parting the thickly growing stems ahead
As his long flat lips curl out and grasp the next mouthful;
A cloud passes overhead and drags a dark shadow behind it.
For a moment, he stops feeding and listens.
Shadows can be bad; this time there is no scent
And he curls his muscled lips forward to feed again.
Another heavy cloud moves over him; shadows deep.
He raises his head, stands heavy on straddled legs
And sprays thick squirts of urine stating silent
Boundaries, horn pointing proudly to the shredded sky.
Inky shadows; and the thunder rumbles towards him.
Head lowered he feeds again, his skin massaged
By rods of stinging rain. Muddy runnels trickle from
His tick-infested skin and he stands still and cool;
Dark thunder; he drops as buzz-saws savage trembling air.
Actually Delia I think your plea (the me, me me one) was eloquent enough of itself - you don't really need my help LOL. Besides, I'm too busy with my own plea here - Charles, the Zen-Rays - moi, moi ,moi . . .
My kids love surfing the Web, and they keep track of their
passwords by writing them on sticky notes.
One day I noticed their password was "BatmanSupermanRobinJoker".
And so I asked why it was so long. ?
"Because," my son explained, "they say it has to have at least
four characters."
The Washington Post had a contest wherein participants were
asked to tell the younger generation how much harder they
had it "in the old days." Winners, runners-up, and honorable
mentions are listed below.
Honourable Mentions:
In my day, we didn't have water. We had to smash together
our own hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
A dog goes into a hardware store and says: "I'd like a job please".
The hardware store owner says: "We don't hire dogs, why don't you go join
the circus?"
The dog replies: "What would the circus want with a plumber".

The last day
To win Zen-Ray
But if I don't win
I'll bear it with a grin
Cos someone will
And that's great still
Good luck everyone and thanks Zen-Ray
P.S. Special thanks (or should that be curses!!)
