Hi Dale

I have nothing to add to the slate, just here now to inflate my post rate.

By the way, if it's not too late, hi to Dale! That was the original intent of this topic was it not, or did we deliberate much too long for that?

It is indeed too late to berate and vituperate.

But it's never to late to procrastinate.

I sat and began to postulate,
whether or not to join this debate,
which I read my curiosity to sate.

But wait! methought, I cannot congregate,
Unless '-ate' words I can create,
And I am suitably articulate?

Thus did I myself expostulate,
For though I am quite literate,
My aged mind's in parlous state:

It frequently will perambulate,
Down alleys blind at such a rate,
I'm left distrait, in a two-and-eight,
(that's Cockney slang for 'in a state').

As wine by age will ameliorate,
Our brains with age will deteriorate,
Nothing can alleviate,
This awful doom, which is our fate.

Again did I procrastinate,
And chuckled at Amar's 'flatulate',
That Swiss-dood is a reprobate,
Glad I am not his room-mate.

So I pondered as I ate,
My plastic lunch on paper plate,
Whether or not Amar's mate,
Would capitulate, accept his fate,
And suffocate.
(He surely won't recuperate,
not from that noxious sublimate?)

Alas. I've failed. I cannot state
A single word that ends in '-ate'.
All those who have, I congratulate.

I did come up with "invertebrate",
But on it's own it sucks and makes no sense,
And would only tend to aggravate.

If this tread bothers you so much then yourself from it you should extricate!!!

That's an idea that sounds great! Especially since in a little while I have with my lovely wife a lunch date.

Late(r)!

If this was the political thread, we could discuss Watergate!

And Where the heck is Jim's Stone's commentary? Guess he's gone to India to meditate.

I would like to introduce you to Norma Bates,
and her esteemed husband, Harry Bates,
and this then is their young son Norman:
say hello to young Master Bates.

I was waiting for that one.

And it took all of 6 pages to disseminate.

This seed falls on the ground but doesn't germinate.

Hey! This thread is no place to propagate,
the suffix -ate must more than procreate,
And if I may so much as extrapolate,
peeplj be the one we castrate.

Do not castrate!
I fear to contemplate:
Online is a truly dangerous place
Of late.
