Friendly Friday

Hey Friends of the Friendless Marching Band, you look mighty fine in your bearskin caps. I knew you would...but what is all that grumbling about? It is not very becoming for a friendly marching band...oh, it is 25 degrees celsius (where is that Farenheit converter?) and those caps are...okay, take them off. At least we got today's picture!







You all know Pat Paulk, the glass armonica player. He is also an amazing poet who has been published in numerous ezines. He composed a poem just for us! Listen up...

Friend Of The Friendless

The band marches on Fridays,
a friend of the friendless
that circles the globe.
“I Love Lucy’s” the conductor,
uniforms are whatever you dare.

Selections are played
with licks of keyboard clicks,
there’s no cacophony of scales.
Rev up the mice that run the bus,
we’ll burn this gig
in 4/4 comment time.

Alright, Pat!

Now for today's march...
the featured site is Poem-A-Day. I like Eric's blog because:

• of his attempt to write a poem a day!
• he knows to take a break.
• of his poetry.
• of his links.

Then visit A Fish to be Mongered. Isn't that a cute little guinea pig and how about her idea to post her blogfriends' recent posts. (Y'know, I'm starting to doubt her friendless status!)

Next in the line-up is Frazzled LaShawn. She is a happily married blogger with 3 boys. I think this explains the frazzled part.

Have fun discovering new friends!


Thank you Pat for writing us a poem this week.





For those wondering how the band works:
To join the Friends of the Friendless Marching Band, leave a comment stating that you wish to join then choose any instrument you like. (ability isn't an issue for this cyber band) We have three piano players, a harpist, a theramin and french horn player plus a variety of others so you get the idea that any instrument is possible.
On Fridays, the band meets to visit the chosen friendless sites which are listed anew each Friday. Then the band leaves friendly comments for our honored recipients. Let them know that you are from the FFMB.
Get to know other band members. There is sure to be someone you can connect with.
Nominate friendless sites. They can be bloggers you know or ones that you come across in your blog surfs. Think unique. These sites have less than 5 comments/post and be posting currently. Leave me a comment with their address or email me at Carol_ffmb at yahoo.ca. I will let you know whether they have met the friendless criteria.
