We had fun posting things, our made up inventions Voting buns or perhaps fish as the fancy took us on
Goodbye Vernon, O prolix one! You taught me how to really ramble on Without rhyme and without rein. Always hiding what you meant In a ton of persiflage.
And now Vernon, I'll search the web Copy the gems off google's cache'd ones Because they are those unique ones. Perfect grammar, perfect tense Not an iota of sense.
We had fun, lots of fun, scrolling past the verbiage, Annotating randomly, stirring up the bloated page.
Goodbye gizmo, the little one! You reminded me of being small, again, Watching the world from half as tall. Kicking balls and dodging dogs Being naughty where you played.
Goodbye Jutta, it was good to be At the website you had organised, Ideas, votes, 'n' annotations. You made the rules for us to break Despite your threat of "throwing off".
Logging on, reading on, finding new things everyday But the words that we read, are in our memories alone.
We had fun, voting and annotating at the site, But the disk that we shared, Alas! spins no more.-- neelandan, Feb 11 2003 Westlife http://www.westlife...images/westlife.jpgOMG!!!!!!!!!! we LUV WESTLIFE!!!!!!!!!

Any how (+) for installing in me a sense of impending doom-- Zircon, Feb 11 2003 Fishbone for reminding me of that awful song.-- DrCurry, Feb 11 2003 OK racked my brains cannot think who sang it. just know it was some really ordinary name.
funny how songs bring back memories - this reminds me of a flatulent painter.-- po, Feb 11 2003 //cannot think who sang it// According to my feeble memory it was Terry Jacks.-- half, Feb 11 2003 bingo!-- po, Feb 11 2003 // Including the halfbakery: song category, one hopes //
Oh, don't be such a grouch, [waugs].
I like this. "Seasons in the Sun" is one of my favourites.-- 8th of 7, Feb 12 2003 Original is by Rod McKuen (he wrote the words, Jacques Brel wrote the music.)-- angel, Feb 12 2003 Of course, as everyone knows, the definitive version is Westlife's.-- my face your, Feb 12 2003 I thought it was Terry Jacks. Who is Westlife ?-- 8th of 7, Feb 12 2003 Five Oirish builders who murder other people's ballads while sitting on stools. Popular with schoolgirls.-- my face your, Feb 12 2003 random, halfbakery
