November 2013

.... where are our regular Bloggers we hope to have more Stanite Bloggers logging in. We have only about one post last month.. a paltry 26 posts...
We are Looking for more posts this Month. Will our Prophesies hold True???

there's blogger young and blogger old
in tropical climes and canada cold
some so regular as if on cue
we've got bloggers in our fighting force
in banking law and at the bourse
church affairs and education too
but where the hell is blogger new

all our blogger girls and blogger boys
(even serial george and ms christine poise)
have reached our proverbial waterloo
finding needle-in-the-haystack blogger new

nothing seems to be far more greater
than the years spent in the alma mater
we bloggers will do what bloggers do
with or without the elusive new

where are the stanesman when the world seems to need one,
