Guess who? (for a bit of fun)
lets have some fun !!...
read thisand PM me with your answer about who you think this poem is about ....I will PM you back if your guess is right. or wrong and let you know the right answer if your guess is wrong..:) PLEASE do not write your answers in the form of comments on this page..so that others can have some fun too in this guessing game..lol..
Smartly uniformed in white
short, tall, rugged and trite
in rank and file these troops
stand guard day in and day out
Few wise ones lost on the road
others take on additional load
one that's fallen out of line,
a wise crack in this bee line
Some knock while others grind
some gleam while beaming a smile
together they rock on a wintry night
tapping on their pointed toes
In silence they keep on preying
on all meat that happens their way
come night, the front ranks get
a nibble on some juicy treats
In time they'll part their ways
others won't fill their ranks
the hollows in the rank and file
will weaken a charming smile
Those who'll brave the grind
each mile and stuttering stride
will lay guard but not their pride
when it'll be time to bid adieu...

thanks Dan for controlling
thanks Dan for controlling your urge to spill out the beans and realizing that holding them back is double the fun to kid others...or even black mail them ..lol...
P.S. perhaps line 20 gave you confidence that you have hit the bulls eye...lol..

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
