It was the first of May
A lovely warm spring day
I was strolling down the street in drunken pride;
But my knees were all a-flutter,
And I landed in the gutter
And a pig came up and lay down by my side.
Yes, I lay there in the gutter
Thinking thoughts I could not utter
When a lady passing by did softly say:
“You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses” —
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

I wish the reblog buttons were still working, as I would love to share this on my blog. It is grand. I also wish WordPress would stop changing things that work well and mess everything up. Hugs

Is that reblog thing on the fritz again? I thought they’d fixed that. 😦
Feel free to copy and paste if you want to. 🙂

Thanks. It seems they have taken the reblog button away. I can not get it to even show up on my own blog nor do I see it on others anymore. When I tried to search for the reason I got the message they changed the way sharing is done. Seems to me they simply took it away. Hugs

Weird — sometimes it’s there, sometimes it isn’t. I’m mystified.
But for future reference, any time you want to copy and paste anything of mine, go right ahead. 😀

On the website, the blog itself all the share buttons are gone. If you use the reader you can do all the old functions. Right now you can not even like a post from the blog page itself. They have messed it up from my view.
I liked it as it was. Hugs

Frustrating. I’m hoping this will be like the last time those things disappeared, and after a few days they were restored.

That’s weird. I’ve got them, except for the reblog button.
And, Yes, I liked it as it was. Why mend something that ain’t broke?
