she once thought people on steemit were different
She never knew they were just like you and me
Like nachos and cheese
We all go well togther
We are families in this community
Just like in every community we have got each others back
No one is different from the rest
We are hustling and bustling like badass fellows on the street
Our brains and hand are so much creative
That all we need to survive are you and me
I scratch your back, you scratch mine

🐍 Three Wild "n" Strange People ... 🐍

Three wild "n" Strange people
Sitting in a pepper tree
Seriously blogging on Steemit
No different then you and me...

Three snakes have now joined us
Up in this pepper tree
Slithering happily
just like you and me

What else could we do
These snakes mean no harm
But keep Steeming away on Steemit
Like we always do!
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

Look at that one, he has a beard
And that one over there is so weird
That one just makes videos of himself walking
And that girl blogs and blogs about talking
That one likes to hunt antelope
And that one likes to grow cantaloupe
That one blogs about being a sailboat navigator
Yet he goes to work each day as a waiter
That one’s a papa and spends his time chasing snakes
That other one is angry and flags all day for pete’s sake
Steemit is so wild and strange
That’s what makes it a place for all, just pick a new username
I swear it's really cool have a look
if it's not for you, there is always facebook

The steemit people are just like you and me
We belong together, we are meant to be
Our love story has not been told nor seen
Coz this is a land of magic and a place for dreams

Never you ever relent, keep working harder
It may seem challenging but keep climbing that ladder
When you 'whale' you will definitely wonder
How you got beyond the minnow pond to the yonder

Keep these friends you make on the way
Hold unto them like gum, don't throw away
Build your house on a solid foundation of rocks
And you will make the news and be the topic of talks

They say those who give will always get
And I say those who get do not do dirt
@papa-pepper is your living example or witness
to show you how to live large and help the weak best


Thanks to everyone who nurtures a dream!!!

Three Steem Amigos

A man and his mustache went out for a ride
Hoping adventure and fortune to find.
He roamed the web that they say is world wide,
Found steemit and loved all that it could provide.

He met all sort of folks as he chatted and surfed,
Made friends with them all, human, beastie and smurf.
He voted and resteemed what he felt had worth
Whether it educated or just brought him mirth.

It soon became clear that 2 steemian friends
We very like minded, they sought the same ends.
They'd speak truth to each other and never offend
All misunderstands so quickly would mend.

The three steem amigos decided to meet
In the real world for a handshake and greet.
When their mustaches met they all had to agree
This steemian friendship was destined to be.

So when you are sitting there surfing the net
Remember this one thing, don't ever forget.
On steemit you earn everything that you get
Crypto, information, and friends (some puppet.)

Fantastic! We ride!

Thank you! I consider that high praise lol!

Smile all you can
I am no tan,
Puppets in my hand
Magic in my wand.

I am the evil
You have no free will,
Let's dance on my song
You are puppet and I ain't wrong.

Ruling the world, my vision
I want to earn all the pension,
You are the steemit community
There ain't place for any profanity.

I am the evil!!! 😆 😅 😂 🤣 I love it!

Six wild eyes gently flashin';
Three black hats, not for doffin';
Three Steem crests are gatecrashin';
Rocking, rolling, bodypopping,
Steem generation has no fashion;
Trending posts, no chart-topping,
Just you and me looking dashin';
Friends forever, no scoffin'.

nice to read, all in rhyme. @ygriffiny
