I started off 2020 at a very fast pace Determined to win the 'first to post last' race. Passed at the last minute by a lady from 'down under' All my dreams of winning were lost with one big blunder!
Someone reminded me about a story that's been around for years About a hard-shelled turtle and a rabbit with long ears. They ran a race where the fastest would surely cross the finish line first Without even trying... Never having to exert energy in a last minute burst!
The turtle began slow, not noted for his great speed. Not one person would have bet money, indeed, That a turtle would cross the finish line before the speedy hare. Not one person would have guessed a turtle the could beat the rabbit there.
The story ends with the turtle winning the race going away. Not an ending to the story one might see every day. In 2021, I'm going to be the turtle... letting my competitors start fast And at the last minute 2old... at a slow crawl... will be first in 2021 to post last!!!

Well now, we find ourselves here in 2021.
Is this where our next "Last Post" game is begun?
I was not here when the previous one began; Yet now I am one of this game's biggest fans.
SO onward we go..... I do thank all of you so.
I enjoy the friends here, so I'll try not to fear. As we walk forward through time; Once again, trying to rhyme.
Or to those who prefer not; Post whatever you got!

jaila I believe we started this in 2019. The competition was very keen. Became sorta fun to stretch the mind and rhyme Posting back and forth, having a great time! It's a little different game that we play As we post our prose day after day. If we just had someone who could put music to our rhymes We could do a Zoom between us, singing, sometimes. On New Years Eve in 2021 Before the year was completely done We could sing together "Old Dang Sign" Or was that "Auld Lang Syne"? If you dared sing out of tune... on Zoom You would be kicked out of the room. The last one left singing in tune so the dogs didn't cover their ears Would win the trophy amidst the crowd standing and shouting cheers! The pressure wouldn't get to me and I wouldn't nervously sweat Until it got down to the last two and we were singing a duet. My deep bass voice would echo across the land and the sea Until I was last to sing and be the one holding the trophy!

Well looks like Weezer never made it to First Place i slipped and fell down the steps , i was a basket case..
But best i really tell the truth, i figured to be here all set and ready to go. but of all the crazy things i went and stubbed my my big toe!
I could not get my big toe inside my running shoe! my poor toe was all swollen and so i knew i had to go and turn around and hopped back on my bed , then lay in bed as i wondered what Jaila or 2old would of said,..
Already i have forgotten who was ahead of the whats her face. was 2old the winner of that race? or did Drifter suddenly jump on the finish line ,like i recall she had really done that one time..!!
i know Dusty could not make it .forgot her excuse but im sure her and i would both been winners of Foot loose..!! She is a dancer you know so , im sure her feet have wings and i just know she would flew all the way to the end! and then say that she had the big win,,!!
anywho, time flies when your having fun, hope every one here all had a great run,, gotta go and play some games but wanted to be here first!!
So that im the last to post , oh how i love to boast!!

She stubbed her toe and cannot type? Do we really fall for this useless tripe? I didn't win 'cause I fell asleep. The trophy belongs to Dusty... and it's hers to keep. My mind is spinning as I think about this contest Seeking the way to make it, for all, the best. There is a motion I'd like to put to the players In hopes someone will second it and defeat the nay-sayers. My motion is designed to prevent time zone differences from interfering As we enter December and the end of this year is nearing. Let's just pass the motion and get on with our rhymes Open the champagne and enjoy the good times. So here's my motion for which I expect a second immediately For it will make things easier as you will see. "I make a motion that before January is past We make 2old the 2021 winner for being first to post last!!"

The last one to post reminds me of the Legend Cliff Young a 61 year old potato farmer who entered a foot race Sydney ~ Melbourne . Everyone laughed at this OLD MAN entering a race with fit young athletes ...... HOWEVER .... while they partied after dark ..old cliff continued his journey of 543 miles .....and taking out the top prize Of the race , this man was unknown before entering the race . It is considered among the world’s most grueling ultra-marathons. The race takes five days to complete and is normally only attempted by world-class athletes who train specially for the race When Cliff was awarded the winning prize of $10,000, he said he didn’t know there was a prize and insisted that he did not enter for the money. He ended up giving all of his winnings to several other runners, an act that endeared him to all of Australia He passed away at age 81 in 2003 elitefeet.com/the-legend-of-cliff-young/

@bloss isn't it sorta fun that a few folks from different walks of life and totally different geographical areas can banter back and forth for a year(s) over something as ridiculous as who posts last on a forum. Your Cliff Young legend story is such an example of how commitment and drive can come forth in people when actually put to a test. Our fun, here, is nothing like running 543 miles. We just have fun bantering, trying to keep each other smiling and not be fully overcome by the negativity that surrounds us. I just really appreciate you and Weezer and jaila and all who keep this useless thread going. Sometimes we need more "uselessness".....

I totally agree Mr.2old , You see, it is a game of pretend in a way, and also i love to read the comments we get from other who live far away and here and there and every where,, its nice to meet and greet and play this game , after all its just pretend we are grown ups who like to be like kids , having fun while eating some figs.. anywho, we need this game , it helps keep us all sane! Our lives have turned around with this pandemic we have to keep going or else we are doing this all in vain ! Everyone here is what keeps me in good cheer 2old with his comical stories of life and always speaks loyaly about is wife, his little dog , we know he loves and of course the humor of his rhymes and his life.. then there is Dusty, she is a true Aussie , you know We learn alot about her country, and the beautiful sea she cooks and dances and she bakes and im sure she has made a lot of gingerbread cakes.. Then there is Jaila , a new lass who loves to Rhyme and keeps up with our times.. she has a great sense of humor and loves to kid around She fits here like a fine leather glove and is totally a very good Rhymer and quite the wiz.. well enough said to all these fine folks ive done all i can and just still want to be Useless-Last.. even thou i know there will always be someone behind me who will be the first to say their last is a Useless-Last-one to be Last !!..

Wish y'all would quit celebrating my loss! After all, I'm still "The Boss"!! I do guess the crown goes to Dusty Dear But 2021 is MINE, never fear!!
MMXXI is on us! I won't drop the ball this time As I just keep posting senseless prose and rhyme. Gave you guys a break, this year, and it won't happen again As I know I'll be first to post last... and do it with a grin!
Got new long-handles for Christmas and they're the "cat's meow"! Never seen anything like 'em... but I know what they are now. Wore 'em yesterday playing golf in the wind and cold... they worked like a charm! Well those newfangled longies were so good they even kept my hands warm!!!
Must say, I'd be half embarrassed if'n someone saw me wearing them without pants over the top! I'm sure if I was outside with just them on... traffic for blocks would stop! The only place I could wear 'em and not be thought seriously out of style Would be in our local Walmart grocery aisle!
Y'all have heard the adage "fits like a glove" over the years. well, if'n a glove fit that tight, trying to get any work done would bring me to tears! But I'm a tellin' y'all ain't never had nothin' keep me as warm in the cold. It's some sort of longies skiers wear on the slopes... or so I'm told.
Ya know I is a graspin' for subject matter to keep the rhymes goin', I do swear If'n the only thing I have to rhyme about is my new underwear! I promise to dig a little deeper for a topic for my next rhyme. As you can see, though, I'm first to post last this time!!!
