The Friday Fling Writes About Our Favorite Places!
Friday Fling #206, for November 16th 2012
This week we thought it would be fun to write about our favorite places. We all have places we are particularly fond of because of their beauty, serenity, memories associated with them, etc. What is one of yours?
As an inspirational source and possibly even a poetic template, we would like you to consider this classic pop song:
You can do a lyric rewrite in part or whole, or just use the song as a starting point to take readers on a poetic journey where you like it like that!!
This week the Friday Fling pops the question with one of our favorite pop tunes: where is your favorite place to be and why, or where would you like to be?
Be sure to save time to read and comment on your fellow Pals’ favorite places poetry. Then go find a favorite place to spend this weekend!
Fickle Finger of Fate Award for November 9th
Congratulations Angel Love!
Welcome everyone to the Friday Fling! We hope you like it like this! Ponder your preferred places and then consider how you prefer to communicate that poetically! Take us away!
Ok I’m going to see if my inebreated brain can write something . Luv Ya Bob . Sorry I’ve been absent , and my spelling is atrostious . LOL
A later version by the British invasion group The Dave Clark Five:
MY PLACE
~
Cozy most time
Feel at easy
I do
Right here
In front of me computer
Cant wait to git there
To see me friends
They all be there right in there
Right on time
Well most times
Any ways
Sum be a bit late
Few will talk
Most
Just sit there
When I log on
Have a message there
Oh just a hello
Day and night they be
Friends of mine
And I like it like that
My place
Computer time
Space friends
I stop
Around
From place
To place
Like goin to town
If not in this place over here
Go to the next site
There they be
One here
Two are three there
Every now and then back and fourth
My place
Come on lets play
Write
Are talk
Maybe read me
Are just chat
And I like it like that
My place to be
Computer time wit
Me and me friends to be
Miss them when not on
Some even say
They miss me the same
That makes me happy to know
My friends
My computer
My place to be
My all in all favor place to be
And I like it like that
~

Here are the lyrics to the original “I like It Like That’ by Chris Kenner in case you would like to do a lyric rewrite in part or whole:
Come on
(Come on, let me show you where it’s at)
Come on
(Come on, let me show you where it’s at)
Come on-on-on
(Come on, let me show you where it’s at)
The name of the place
(I like It Like That)
They got a little place
Across the track
The name of the place is
I Like It Like That
Now, you take Sally
An I’ll take Sue
And we are gonna rock away
All our blues
Come on
(Come on, let me show you where it’s at)
Come on
(Come on, let me show you where it’s at)
Come on-on-on
(Come on n’ let me show you where it’s at)
The name of the place is
(I like It Like That)
Now, the last time I was down there
I lost my shoes
They had some cat
Shoutin’ the blues
The people was yellin’
Out for more
And all they were sayin’
Was, ‘Go man go’
Come on
(Come on, let me show you where it’s at)
Come on
(Come on, let me show you where it’s at)
Come on-on-on-on
(Come on, let me show you where it’s at)
The name of the place
(I like It Like That)
Come on
The video does not go with the poem except that they both are about favorites, but I love this song so much I had to use it
MY FAVORITE
Anywhere she is
is my favorite place.
The best time of all
is when I see her face.
The love of my life,
she has style, she has grace.
Any space she’s in
is my favorite space.

Hospital Community
This is how some people share –
they push cancer patients in a wheelchair.
No, life’s not always designed to be fair
but hospital workers show us how they care.
And there are some – the volunteers –
we only want to copy these peers.
Our clumsy efforts would demonstrate
the caring that we emulate.
We belong to the community of man
and often do the best we can.
Politically naive we sometimes be,
we treat the same everyone we see.
This is why my heart and me
reside in the hospital community.
And it is my favorite place –
being in this caring space.

The canyon is my favorite place to be.
So many path to walk on and see.
My favorite place there is my tree.
For it help me to believe.
The next place I love in the canyon is a pile of stones.
A chief son was buried there , the rocks his ruins .
You touch the rocks they bring you blessing from above.
I always ask for healing and love.
The third thing I love about the canyon is the wild life there.
Wild turkeys dancing for there matting partner of the year.
The mountain ghost so high in the canyon air.
It’s amazing seeing them standing on the highest cliff.
Up that high I’d be so scared and stiff.
I don’t do heights well I prefer to stay at the bottom of the canyon.
And the last thing I love is all the flowers that bloom in spring.
Its like a covered canvas of color.
My favorite are the sun flowers.
There so bright and yellow.
So that just some of things to see at my canyon .
There a lot more like the cabin and waterfall.
The history store, and bbq place.
The play The Big Texan.
And lots, lots more.
Friday Greetings . . . . sorry to be so late, but our modem died had to be replaced this morning. I have so many favorite places — would certainly be hard to choose one over another. Wonderful theme and challenge to ponder on this rather gray SoCal Friday. Congratulations to Angel Love and Love and Hugs to All. :love: :love: :love:

WHEREVER I AM
Scaling tall mountains
or touching the sky,
no dream or adventure
too big or too high,
so many places to go,
so many things to do,
there’s no particular one
I’d choose over the rest,
no place in the world
where I couldn’t have
at least a little bit of fun.
For me every day’s
an adventure I’m on.
Wherever I happen to be,
even right here at home,
if I just open my eyes
and take a look around,
I’m always amazed
by the new things I find.
I don’t have to go far at all
to find my favorite place,
for my favorite place
is wherever I am,
even if it’s right here
in my own back yard.

I’D REALLY LOVE IT LIKE THAT!
Come on
(Come on let me show you why its grand)
Come on
(Come on, let me show you why it’s grand)
Come on-on-on-on
(Come on, let me show you why it’s grand)
The name of the place
(is Salisbury England)
There is a little place
across the sea.
The name of the place
is Sa-lis-bu-ry
Now you take Calie
and I’ll take you
and we’re gonna lock away
all our blues!
Come on
(Come on let me show you why its grand)
Come on
(Come on, let me show you why it’s grand)
Come on-on-on-on
(Come on, let me show you why it’s grand)
The name of the place
(is Salisbury England)
The last time I was over there
I paid my dues.
There was some lonely cat
meowin’ the blues.
Cathedral close choir boys
were chantin’ some
I know they were callin’ me
to come man come!
Come on
(Come on let me show you why its grand)
Come on
(Come on, let me show you why it’s grand)
Come on-on-on-on
(Come on, let me show you why it’s grand)
The name of the place
(is Salisbury England)
Now it’s in southwest England,
a bit more sun.
Near old Stonhenge ruins
good Pagan fun.
Lush meadows echo dove coos.
Picnics in the park.
Just the place for lovers
kissin’ in the dark.
Come on
(Come on let me show you why its grand)
Come on
(Come on, let me show you why it’s grand)
Come on-on-on-on
(Come on, let me show you why it’s grand)
The name of the place
(is Salisbury England)
An old farm in the country
just outside town.
Two could have a nice life
and seldom frown.
Now you take Calie
and I’ll take you
and we’re gonna lock away’
all our blues!
Come on
(Come on let me show you why its grand)
Come on
(Come on, let me show you why it’s grand)
Come on-on-on-on
(Come on, let me show you why it’s grand)
The name of the place
(is Salisbury England)

Revisewd lyrics to Chris Kenner’s “I Like It Like That”
So very creative. Loving this. :love: :love: :love:
Come on, come on,
Let me show you where it’s at
Come on, come on,
Let me show you where it’s at
Come on, come on,
Come follow me there
A coastal sunset is where it’s all at
Where peace is in the evening air
The whispering sea is calming to the soul
Admiring the beauty painted there
Away from all stress is where it’s all at
To feel the breeze blow in my hair
And soothing sand at my tiring feet
Where tranquility does take good care
Away from all stress , I like it like that
