Calaveras Explained
Calaveras' famous frog was astounding
In contests never beaten at bounding
But a gambler's ruse
In the frog did infuse
Lead shot that kept him a groundling

The con artist disappeared south
Froggy's owner poured shot from its mouth
His face fiery red
He examined the lead
That had made his wallet a drouth...

You have asked what I do see
From my Magic Window
If you really want to know
Sit tight here I go.

Through the rocky hills
And Eons later their remains

Premium Member Stalker Explained
What I MEANT:

He stands at her window,
eager to look in. Though
he feels like a creep

peeking through the shutters.
Heatedly, he mutters
to her in her sleep.

Inspired by the rant he's
reaching for the panties
he made sure to keep.



What I WROTE:

Peering at her as she sleeps,
nearing tiers of the...

Footle Explained In Fibonacci

 A Footle?
 
Explain
Again!

 Boot?
Coot?
Bottle?

then you fattle your fettle and fittle your futtle and that’s how a Footle is made!

It will become easy the careless buyer to confuse

“This house is simply loaded with charm.”
Means we hope...

The word love has such a glorious ring
Makes us warm and fuzzy all over
Seeing pretty flowers where none exist
Or walking through fields of clover

That Which Cannot Ever Be Explained
With every now we cite the faithful muse,
the one we know is never there, but

our lover for all time, our aged sprite
drifting silently along the screaming front
and those of us who write,
