Bought a bra a wee bit too small

Her cups runneth o'er
The Pride goeth before a fall

They don't want students reading books
Why flip your lid?
Kids never did!
Its much more fun to learn from crooks!

My Dog Leo

A Dog called Leo


I once knew a Dog called Leo
Who loved singing Sole Mio
Then one day out of choice
Gave up his soulful voice

Now barks at the Moon, poor Leo

Premium Member Pope Leo XIV

I love you! 
I’m so happy you scolded Pres. Trump
Also mentioned
You’re ashamed to be called American
 
That is so good!
You even compared him with Jesus Christ
That is so good!
For me you’re the best Pope

Praying for all especially who need
Onyx cross hanging black beads
Pontiff as cool as blue breeze
Elegant without emerald trying

Let there be love and peace
Even if we don’t all agree
On who Christ died to free

The Gal Is Leo

".... it took a tempt..."

and the attempt was clear
There is a pyramid
Who appeared amid
My ear

"... the quiet tap tapping..."
from my board should be read...

five points
eight lines
five sides

in kind;
"... you have my Word..."

Premium Member POPE LEO XIV





The divine flame, the torch of eternal truth lit,
 
And passed it onto Pope's Leo XIV trembling hand

Who, fervently, prayed to our God almighty,

Peace and love to bring, upon men's tormented land.

Premium Member August

August! Most days uphold the Leo Sign-

Urge those then born- to follow Lion's line.

Grand confidence and steadfastness are prone-

Unless the sting of arrogance is shown-

Sensed not accepting critics and their slights;

The August Lions share mixed-bag delights.

Premium Member Robert Francis Prevost - Pope Leo XIV

Robert Francis Prevost:
a brilliant man but not one to boast.
He brings a message of peace, love and hope,
and holy smoke! He’s the new pope.

Robert Francis Prevost:
as Leo XIV, he will not coast.
And another thing we know about the man:
he is a devoted baseball fan!

Premium Member Leo Memories

it was summer and
mother had been busy
in the kitchen all day
making a fancy dinner
and custom birthday cake

year after year
it never got old
but I soon would ~
anticipation giving way
to fond memories

His kindness reincarnates.

To Leo

May this new year be an asset
To you in all aspects I state

With Junnu, Jaanu and Johny
May you have pleasures many

Being a lion on and off field
As usual you rock with shield

May every moment bring thee
Immense joy and wowsome glee

Happy birth anniversary to my friend
Who is the Lord with many blend..!!

Premium Member Royal Reigns

As His warmth ensouls in me
His radiance illumes through me
pure essence lures beyond the Universe
He is most vital in my vitality

with a fiery finesse and bold intense
warmth can be simmering
as well as a gentle heat of passion
kind and generously spread
with an unshakeable bond
true love is rightfully rewarded

Leo, An Astrology Acrostic

Leo, an Astrology Acrostic
    by Amy Swanson


Loyal friend who'll laugh with you, the sun rules their playful heart;
Engagingly eclectic, they'll give all they have; forgive them if they seem a little bossy. 
Outgoing with majestic charm, they'll walk with you until the very end.

Leo

The big cat purrs, I'm king of beast,
fearless I sit on top of food chain.
No one dares to stalk, I hunt my feast,
unflinched always, my dreaded mane.
No wonder I get the largest share,
of top to bottom, or front to back.
With a heart of lion, I love and care, 
'Pride' of my power, my Leo Zodiac.

Leo Tolstoy

"Yeah, Tolstoy, 
the guy could write like he was carving his name 
into a mountain. 

A real heavyweight. 
He saw the whole circus of life and didn’t blink. 

Kings and peasants, love and death, all rolled into one. 
Maybe too serious for his own good, 
but that’s what made him real. 

The man had guts, 
a vision too big for most people to stomach. 
When you ou read him, you felt it deep."
