I gave my love a cherry that has no stone, I gave my love a chicken that has no bone, I gave my love a ring that has no end, I gave my love a baby with no cryen.
How can there be a cherry that has no stone? How can there be a chicken that has no bone? How can there be a ring that has no end? How can there be a baby with no cryen?
A cherry, when it's blooming, it has no stone, A chicken when it's pipping, it has no bone, A ring when it's rolling, it has no end, A baby when it's sleeping, has no cryen.
Okay John, if you're not going to write it yourself, here's another one, sung by Frank Sinatra:
"Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing"
Love is a many-splendored thing, It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring, Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living, The golden crown that makes a man a king. Lost on a high and windy hill, In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still, When our fingers touch my silent heart has taught us how to sing, Yes, true love's a many-splendored thing.
Her daughter is in a different league than most. That is know of like in early 20th century and beyond, when many spoke a half a dozen or so languages.
I really don't play the language nazi, especially when we are having a good conversation as opposed to just goofing around. She struggles with certain things and I really don't care about the errors because I know exactly what she is saying. Things like when to put an s at the end of a sentence. The order of the words, not only in the construct of the sentence, also in descriptions. Simple example, we say Levi's Jeans, she says Jeans, Levis. Larger category to smaller category. Yet she picks up things over time without me ramming it down her throat.
Then she and the girls have patented English phrases, especially when it comes to fashion, such as Paris wasn't built in a day.
I thought it was "rocket science", or are you kidding?
It is "rocket science" to me, but to a speaker of another language, it might get mixed up with another idiom such as "it's not brain surgery." And then it's cute. I still say "close the lights" sometimes from hanging out with first generation Greeks as a teenager, who said that instead of "shut off the lights." And that was years ago!
Anyone - please write a poem that tells the story of this photo.
I’m not much of a poet, or a romantic ...
That's really funny. Thanks Hal. (In case anyone's confused by the typo, it should be "Get IT on Craigslist...")
Lol. Crap. Funny how I can look at a misspelled two letter word over and over without seeing it.
That happens to me as well, especially when I don't bother to read over what I wrote before I post it.
LOL, I can read it over a couple times and still get it wrong.
I gave my love a cherry that has no stone,
I gave my love a chicken that has no bone,
I gave my love a ring that has no end,
I gave my love a baby with no cryen.
How can there be a cherry that has no stone?
How can there be a chicken that has no bone?
How can there be a ring that has no end?
How can there be a baby with no cryen?
A cherry, when it's blooming, it has no stone,
A chicken when it's pipping, it has no bone,
A ring when it's rolling, it has no end,
A baby when it's sleeping, has no cryen.
A.H.

On the sand
without a band
with a preacher on a cell phone
they got married alone
Well done.
I like that!!!
I was going to try but I can't match that.
Yes you can, Pat!
The party is done and over,
We walk together hand in hand.
Today we tripped the light fantastic,
And landed in the sand.
Tomorrow will be another day,
One we forge alone together.
In the hope that love can truly conquer all,
And that our marriage is forever.
Nice, Perrie.
Very sweet. Thanks.
We are standing here waiting for the bus
what in the world will become of us
if we didnt have that trunk
our hopes would be sunk
what the reader doesnt know
is the trunk is filled with dough
LOL. Good one.
On this day I pledge to thee
My love throughout eternity.
Hold my hand, stay by my side
You'll always be my beautiful bride.
The most romantic one so far.
What's yours is mine
What's mine is yours
We'll soon have something that we'll call Ours !
Wait, what?
You don't take American Express?
Oh, no, I'm depressed.
LOL
Suddenly....Nothing will be the same !
Linda Eder {In Concert, 1999}- someone like you !
I will use a Julia quote at 4:33 PM, DST. GMT-5.
I love her English. She is even getting more comfortable using the superfluous word "the".
My wife hasn't yet learned the word "the". LOL
Thankfully her daughter is tri-lingual - Mandarin, German, English.

The idioms are the cutest. Such as "it's not rocket surgery" ... I can't even imagine trying to come up with things like that in a foreign language.
I thought it was "rocket science", or are you kidding?
LOL. You are right about that.
Looks like I am having the same problem.
Make that "end of a word".
Then:
Know of = Kind of.
No idea how that happened.

A haiku:
Your dress sweeps the sand
A metal husk in our view
We still have our love
FANTASTIC!!! I was thinking about haiku, and was going to do one myself. Thank you for posting that.
A twist of the fates,
and now we're mates,
Here we stand
Upon the sand
and a new life now awaits.
Very good!
