Joolesgreyuk Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 It's almost a year when I first surfed the net to find some advice on my new feathered pet. I was still awaiting to bring him home, still in the shop and I was alone. I couldn't rest, I couldn't sleep until dear Beau was mine to keep. I recall counting days until he was here, advice was needed to which I'd adhere. You were there with advice at the ready, on your pcs laptops, always rock steady. You knew the answers to my every request, sensible, articulate - the very best. Janet & Judy t'other side of the pond to you I've grown particulary fond. Lyn, Jill, Jay, Dan, Maggie and kim oh and Dave007 too - advice on a whim. Penny, Pat, Sheila, Caroline the latter less often but doing just fine. Please forgive me for those I have missed too many FART meetings I must be p***ed. Alas I'm coming to the end of this tribute I must feed the fids, give them their fruit ;-) Just wanted to say you've become good friends and my thanks to you I wanted to send. Now I have two, healthy fids I adore a little more knowledgeable, I know the score. Give them the best that you can afford and they will love you of their own accord. Lots of love and out-of-cage time treats en mass and they will be fine. Yes folks it's almost a year now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 What a wonderful tribute to your fids, Beau and Argyle, and to the Greyforums. You are a great asset to the forum Julie and I am so glad you joined the family. Your poetry is always marvelous, simply marvelous and you are a great friend to us all. :kiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joolesgreyuk Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 It took about 20 mins Lyn. The first half was the most difficult to get to rhyme and I had to constantly change the first 4 lines, the rest flowed pretty much LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
