SSScout Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 The Llama, by Robbie Burns Wee, sleekit, cow'rin, tim'rous beastie, O, what a panic's in thy breastie! Thou need na start awa sae hasty, Wi' bickering brattle! I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee, Wi' murd'ring pattle! I'm truly sorry man's dominion, Has broken nature's social union, An' justifies that ill opinion, Which makes thee startle At me, thy poor, earth-born companion, An' fellow-mortal! I doubt na, whiles, but thou may thieve; What then? poor beastie, thou maun live! A daimen icker in a thrave 'S a sma' request; I'll get a blessin wi' the lave, An' never miss't! Thy wee bit housie, too, in ruin! It's silly wa's the win's are strewin! An' naething, now, to big a new ane, O' foggage green! An' bleak December's winds ensuin, Baith snell an' keen! Thou saw the fields laid bare an' waste, An' weary winter comin fast, An' cozie here, beneath the blast, Thou thought to dwell- Till crash! the cruel coulter past Out thro' thy cell. That wee bit heap o' leaves an' stibble, Has cost thee mony a weary nibble! Now thou's turn'd out, for a' thy trouble, But house or hald, To thole the winter's sleety dribble, An' cranreuch cauld! But, Llamie, thou art no thy lane, In proving foresight may be vain; The best-laid schemes o' llamas an 'men Gang aft agley, An'lea'e us nought but grief an' pain, For promis'd joy! Still thou art blest, compar'd wi' me The present only toucheth thee: But, Och! I backward cast my e'e. On prospects drear! An' forward, tho' I canna see, I guess an' fear!(This message has been edited by SSScout) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewmeister Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It's not working. Only ads for garage door openers. And there are no llamas in my garage. Not even in my special llama garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fehler Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 What's with the cries of "Llama llama"? It's just some ads, so stop the drama. The keywords know you like your mama, And will get you to their Shop-o-Rama! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSScout Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Present banner ads: "VOTE FOR ALL SEVEN BALLOT QUESTIONS" (paid for by Forward Maryland , Isaac Salazar, treasurer) I hope Mr. Salazar has read all the TEN questions on our local ballot. " Grand Canyon Rafting " Now THERE'S something I can vote for. Nary a llama in the lot. Nary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGreyEagle Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I don't hold out much hope for the Llama thing but while reading the Political Trends thread I saw an ad for "Tea 101" held by "the republic of tea" a mail order/website tea warehouse. I guess the spiders read tea party and were thinking Mad Hatters not Mad Haters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSScout Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 Must be something to this stuff. Went on line last night to research a new stylus and cartridge for the old Victrola, and sonofagun, banner ads from amazoon for "stereo equipment and turntables..."

Gunny2862 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Some Llama marketing guru is either really sharp not to come after this much bait or is really lagging behind the curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
