Dennis gets our morning off with coffee with the homeless.
Jerry keeps the ‘peace’ since the natives here are restless.
Skywanderer is busy as she shares just what we do.
Jeff will speak the truth and then he’ll hand the ‘mic’ to you.
Tubular’s in the ‘war room’ disguised as someone’s sock,
just waiting for Ms. Courtland to clean somebody’s clock.
MisBehaved Woman is doing what she does best,
protesting with a sign ’cause she won’t let it rest.
Shainbird on the other hand just wrote what she did see,
a lovely poetry piece and she’s posting it for free.
Meanwhile, Skywanderer just tweeted something nice,
to all her many fans who then re-tweeted twice.
I. Frederick’s in the room and she’s all in the know.
She tells it like it is, she’s the star of this here show.
Shelby Courtland is a wild one, who plays so many roles.
At times she’s rather brazen, at times she’s saving souls.
They’re a fine motley crew who will lead the revolution.
Tubular’s on the job, he’ll be the prosecution.
Our government’s got to go; it’s no longer for the people.
They give all to the rich but they hate the poor and feeble.
We’ll stand for one; we’ll stand for all, this time we’ll play it smart.
We’re going green and going clean; so Tube, you push the cart.
Written by,
Shelby I. Courtland
I hope no one who is mentioned gets upset. This is all in fun. It is just my way of thanking those who have stuck with me through all my ups and downs and who are always there to lend a supporting hand. For those of you that I’ve missed, please know that I thank you also for all that you do! I didn’t worry about ‘getting it right’ as this comes from the heart, so I hope you enjoy! Thanks!
And to all WordPress bloggers out there, this ones for you!!

What a lovely, cuddly piece!
While am enjoying its peace
Crawled into its cosy fleece
Away from the stormy breeze
Rhyming in lines like these
My soul is finally at ease …
Though still searching at the bottom:
can we haz a Twitter button,
pliiz?
Then bumped into this line or two:
Dear Shelby, we love you, too!

When Brazen Courtland
tries on nice
It frightens Tube not once
but thrice
Tube puts the cart before the horse
A simple belief in a counter force
As for the pushing of the cart
If Tube is late, go ahead and start!

A rare bird in flight
not scared to fight
for others she has never met
her heart will not let her forget
that together we stand
grasping outstretched hand
declaring justice for just one
is justice for none.

What a generous, charming idea for a post. But Shelby … you are too kind. – Linda
A mention in your poem? I’m unworthy of such honor.
And if you look too closely, then I’m bound to be a goner!
For you’re all impressive writers, articulate and bright
Committed to a better world, to justice, peace and right.
With good humor, cogent arguments, with passion and with play,
The truth and solidarity are bound to win the day!
Compared to such fine bloggers, I’m still an amateur.
My work is slight and sloppy, undisciplihned for sure!
But though I’m under-qualified to join this motley crew,
I’ll proudly do my part, to carry on with all of you!

You are most definitely NOT an amateur! That is amazing! Each and every one of the poems was simply amazing! You have gone and done it! I’ve got tears in my eyes! Let it not be said that there can be no emotion for words on a screen because:
Though these are mere words on a screen,
there is a heart behind this message.
And though you may remain unseen,
the inside is what counts, not the outside package.
Bless you all, dear WordPress bloggers!!!!!, bless you all!!

No, Jerry, it is I who thank you because you are always on top of things with keeping the crisis involving Syria at the forefront and you’ve tirelessly posted blog post after blog post making sure that we stay awake on the issues. You are our ‘peacekeeper’ and I just had to acknowledge that fact. Thank you again for all that you do!!
