...betcha ya' want to know what THAT is!




Ok…I’ve been inspired by reading other’s works of the Pregunta.

I really do get the feeling the name has something to do with Post-Nasal problems! :o)

 

My Pregunta

 

Oh, where…oh, where has this gal been?

Certainly not living a life of sin!

 

And why has she been gone so long?

That’s a subject for her next Country Western song.

 

Did she really build a house of stones?

No, she was much too busy with her moans and groans.

 

Do you think she’s forgoten how to write?

‘Twas something she thought of both day and night.

 

Well! What’s she been doing down in the trenches?

Busy making “stones” and working out ‘puter glitches!

 

Do you think she’s got all now under control?
If not, stand back and watch her eyes roll!


 

And how will we know if it is so?

Hah! You’ll know…grrrrr…you’ll know!

 

 

Authors Note: Good to be up and running, again...in more ways than one!

 

*Pregunta – a form of poetry using multiple couplets. First line is a question, second is the reply. “Pregunta” is a Spanish name meaning question. But, honestly, to me is sounds like a post-nasal disorder :o)</B>
