Maybe fish and turnips?
If all litnet members eat turnips, wont there be a shortage for the rest of the world? Who will think about them?
Who doesn't eat turnips? And can farmers just plant and harvest them in time before anyone can crave for it?
Turnips are great, but let us not forget the healthful benefits of turnip greens, eh?
Did you know the greens can be eaten raw in salads or steamed?
did you know that there is a song about a woman who wears a perfume that smells like turnip greens?
Maybe I could write one? I would have been here earlier, but did you know the mess the internet was in this morning? Someone toss a turnip in the works again? :flare:
Can't we all blame Aimus for that now that his birthday is over?
Maybe he is still in his bed nursing a hangover? And can someone explain to me what's the big fuss about turnips and this forum ?
A quickie, just dashed it off. OK?
Why Does Your Perfume Smell So Much Like Turnip Greens?
You know, baby, I've missed you so much, since you left the big city.
Took off for a trip to the country, yeah, come back lookin' so darn pretty.
Now you got a gleam in your eyes, like I've never seen,
Oh yeah, but tell me this, darling,
Just why does your perfume smell so much like turnip greens?
I'm not complaining at all, about your new hairstyle or your complexion.
And it's OK with me, baby, if you've found life take another direction.
And Lord knows I won't say a word about that check shirt or those jeans:
But can you just tell me again,
Why does your perfume smell so much like turnip greens?
Down on the farm, yeah, I can live with that!
Drive the tractor, slop the hogs! Where's my cowboy hat?
We can make quite a pair out there, on the country scene:
But Lord have mercy, girl,
Just why does your perfume smell so much like turnip greens?
Reckon I better get used to the smell of turnip greens!

Well if you like the smell of turnip greens, Uncle Pen, would I have your permission to wear it? And why do I have such great poet as my Uncle? ;)
Do you know I laughed out loud at that great poem?
Do you think it could be set to music?
Does everyone agree that this has the potential to be one of the best country songs ever? :D
Do you think you would get any argument from me?
Do you guys know I've already played and sang the song, using one of my guitars? Almost any of my poems can be set to music, if I put enough effort into it, but one that I write as a song certainly can be-- why can't I write music? Do you know I can't even read it? I play everything by ear. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/music/musik04.gif
All by ear? That is cool, eh? I used to be in the school band, care to guess what instrument I played?
