MeganBalfour3: The panther is like a leopard,
Except it hasn’t been peppered.
Should you behold a panther crouch,
Prepare to say Ouch.
Better yet, if called by a panther,
Don’t anther.

DrPopCultureBG: "A Lady Who Thinks She is Thirty"
Unwillingly Miranda wakes,
Feels the sun with terror,
One unwilling step she takes,
Shuddering to the mirror.
Miranda in Miranda's sight
Is old and gray and dirty;
Twenty-nine she was last night;
This morning she is thirty.
Ogden Nash

Praise the spells and bless the charms,

Ever changing, ever true --
I love April, I love you.

A cluck it lacks.

They do not really mourn old men.

'I’m just a McCloud with a silver lining.'
