Cherb's Contest 3 - Win Free Games

One Sunday, a cowboy went to church. When he entered, he saw that he and the preacher were the only ones present. The preacher asked the cowboy if he wanted him to go ahead and preach.
The cowboy said, "I'm not too smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I'd feed him."
So the minister began his sermon.
One hour passed, then two hours, then two-and-a-half hours. The preacher finally finished and came down to ask the cowboy how he had liked the sermon.
The cowboy answered slowly, "Well, I'm not very smart, but if I went to feed my cattle and only one showed up, I sure wouldn't feed him all the hay."

Oh goodness is this contest almost over? I forgot to thank you Cherb for this contest this is so nice of you to do for us so thank you, thank you, thank you, very much. Ok now what else to write to make the fifty? I could add a few more thank you, thank you, thank yous (original huh)

Ooooooo...time is drawing near for the end of the contest. I didn't thank Cherb before in my previous posts, so now Thank You Cherb for offering these contests. This is fun, and interesting to read what everyone else has written. Oooooo....I want to win!!! But if I don't, I'll just wait for the next one. I wonder if there will be any type of contest for the new MCF...that would be awesome. Good luck to all fishies!!!

Is it over yet? If not, here's one of my favorites...

Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles, at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear. In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods, is perpetual youth. Within these plantations of God, a decorum and sanctity reign, a perennial festival is dressed, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years. In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, -- no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground, -- my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, -- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God. The name of the nearest friend sounds then foreign and accidental: to be brothers, to be acquaintances, -- master or servant, is then a trifle and a disturbance. I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty. In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in streets or villages.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The end of the contest is near...only minutes to go. Can I get fifty words down?
Probably, mostly drivel. It has been fun trying to think of things, though. never tried free form thin king and putting it down in (virtual) writing. Makes me marvel even more at those who write for a living...where do they get their ideas? And trying to think out plots...I would have to keep a chart up on the wall to have any coherency!!
That makes me think fiction would be more difficult...all that planning ahead.!!

I am the Queen Higness, sitting with a yellow paper crown taped to my forehead and a 5-year old sitting on my lap coloring a picture of a pegasus for me with her green crayon. She has decided that I am the Queen Higness, but my reign is short-lived for she soon decides it's HER turn to 'wear' the crown. Her crown comes with sunglasses. The old crown is folded and shoved in my shirt pocket, along with the pictures she drew for me on post it notes. The Queen decides it's time for potato chips and cries out to her grandma. I must be the throne to the Queen.
Long live the Queen.
