I admittedly don’t know poetry well nor do I know the English language well. But I do know that this resonates from a time in my younger days. I was this many years old when, after reading your post, and doing a little research that I finally realized what kind of flower a “ Colitas “ is. Kronk, you are a Maestro and the only other time I heard this word was on an Eagles album when I was in high school.  |

Hey Larry  Looks like you got the gist of that little ditty just fine.  Mrs. Kronk and I were going down memory lane, the other day, when she mentioned her Great Aunt, "Colita." (pronounced the same, but without the S) Later, I listened to "Hotel California" and made the connection, myself. Thanks for tuning in, amigo.  |

RADMAN Good to read you, sir! Always a pleasure. "L.D."---"MJ"...Don't you have a 2nd cousin named "MJ?" kronk---Yes, I do. You're probably thinking of "Martha Josephine." She's Uncle Ned's daughter and was a real fire brand, in her day. She was on "Gloria Steinem's" staff, back in the early `70's. "L.D."---Really? Did she accomplish anything noteworthy? kronk---Well, she did have a quasi famous slogan. She used to say: "If bikers and hippies can do it, then I can do it too." "L.D."---I don't get it??? kronk---You have only just begun the voyage, grasshopper. "L.D."---Ugh ???? |

USM is sorta like the "Hotel California." "L.D."---How's that, man? kronk---"You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave." (The Eagles) |

Yo! kronk---Ugh? "L.D."---Did you check out Mr. Miller's new doberman, man? That dog knows how to strut her stuff! kronk---I'm not sure that dogs can actually strut. "L.D."---Are you kidding, man! We invented strutting! Besides that, quadrupeds do it better, `cause we've got four feet. It's like; struttings, times two. kronk---Ahhhhh, soooo.... |

Zema I love that song. We had a discussion the other day about my wife's Great Aunt, whose name was "Colita." That's what got me to thinking about name origins and the Eagles song. It's getting to the point that finding folk who know about things that were "in the old days," is getting harder. Take care of you. |
