Financial / Business Institutions

Its Merrill 2 U, not Lynch mob to us
Its Carnegie Mellon for business we trust
And Morgan and Stanley and Dean just won't do
But Witter and Scottrade will Bidwell for you.

Wells is just fine but Fargo's too far
and First Hawaiian can finance your car
I can't Chase Citibank unless its Manhattan they serve
But Greenspan's ok, just not the Federal Reserve.

Eight pages and more than 100 responses, plus more than 1000 hits, in under 42 hours. Somehow, I feel good about this thread.

Of course, we will never be able to reclaim this portion of our lives.

BTW, it is feel and good and 1000 and 100.

But, Doc! In concert with Bart's latest poetic theme, time spent in humourous activity is invested, not wasted.

The NFL

Its Pittsburgh and Steelers
and Buffalo for Bills
But no New Orleans Saints
will cure all your ills

So Debbie Does Dallas but Cowboys fall flat
And Buccaneers beats Raiders and that's a fact.
Can't use Bengals or Jaguars or Seahawks in this ditty
But you can include them if you look up their cities.

And Titans and Vikings are Teams that are great
As long as you use their reference to States.
So talking about football is why its so popular
But some will say true, but don't forget soccer (ouch!)

It is a thousand...but its not a hundred!...

 

[luvvinvinyl]

PLEASE, note the CAREFUL use of the comma, that being the most underused punctuation mark in English, or, at least, American. (Murrican? Then it works.)

It is the comma, but not the period.

(Now I get to futz with his head for a minute )

R2R, it is 1000 and 100, but it is NOT a thousand nor a hundred.

But it IS a million.

NHL

When checking in hockey, I'm sad to announce
Only the Hurricanes can catch a good bounce
And not to repeat what I previously brought forth
But add Nashville to southern and Ottawa by north.

NBA

Wow, we've got Grizzlies and Bulls
and Warriors and Clippers
Not to mention the Nuggets
Doing high fives and back flippers

And teams like the Hawks and Hornets are bad
We knew that for sure so we give them the razz
But when the Lakers' season went so really sad
Was when they were beat by the Utah Jazz.

 

[Toasted Almond]

It is reel to reel and cassette, but not DAT.
It is not dumb or dumber, yet it IS dummy!
It is sleep, but not slumber.
Deep, yet not cavernous.
Butter, but not margarine.
Steer, bull and cattle, but not cow or herd.

DAMN I'm slow to catch on.

 

[Reel 2 Reel]

Now were all cooking with butter!!!!! but not with oil......

 

[luvvinvinyl]

DAMN I'm slow to catch on.

What slow? Only 23 hours and 15 minutes, minus sleep time and flying time. You were up today, right? I thought I read that in another thread.

And you did beat others to the punch, by posting a valid example. :yes:

Give yourself a sharp slap on the forehead for being a bit of a doofus, and then move on. Time to join in the fun.

Besides, Bart's poetry is making us both look like kindergarten kids. :yes:

 

[luvvinvinyl]

Sorry, Gary, typed too slow, again. glad to see you in on the action.

That is a full moon out there tonite ...but its not a planet.....

This thread is goofy not crazy

 

[luvvinvinyl]

...and funny, but not fun!

 

[mech986]

Presidents

Its Bill not Clinton
and Jimmy Not Carter
With Kennedy not John
But Nixon's a non-starter

Now Woodrow and Harry and Warren are listed
Of Roosevelts, not Franklin but Teddy was two fisted
Only Millard of Fillmore counts both oh so dear
While Coolidge and Jefferson bring up the rear

Lest we forget, Hoover and Harrison
Before anyone else can make a comparison
Cause few who can answer "who's hides in the gloom"
But it's really Ulysses', and it's not Grant's tomb.

knees but not elbows
Feet but not toes
Eyes not ears
Butt, ass and fanny!

 

[mech986]

You know the singer not Diana but last name of Krall
Was one that I'd die for, or at least surely fall
But to my dismay, she married a fellow
Not aptly named Elvis but rather Costello.

(At least for the purposes of this thread)
