T’was the month before Christmas,,
and all through the land,,
people on pal talk where getting banned,,
if it wasn’t a ban then it was a bounce.
for the admins are stupid,
and cant take the heat,,
they want the plebs,,
to be under their seat.
They put on their hats,,
And look so grand,,
But cross their path,,
And you will be banned
Bounced I have been,,
And banned as well,,
Cos an admin threatened me,,
And I thought what the hell
Now hell is a word
That Christians don’t like
They all think of heaven
And others peoples plight
Going to heaven
Is where we are bound
Then we and the admins
Will be on equal ground
God is the Admin
Of that heavenly place
So admins in pal
Better learn some grace!
Got this today from my dear pal Ray. It brought a smile to my face. For those of you that this poem makes no sense at all........Paltalk is a chat server where I attend online AA meetings and it is the place I have met some wonderful people. This is the very place I met Simply Anna who has become my bestest friend and to who's blog I have a link on the right. There has been a bit of controversy on line lately about what the third tradition means and what is acceptable behavior in meetings. The thing is you'll never please all of the people all of the time so you have to go with your values and you God Conscience.

lol, that Pal Talk issue sort of reminds me of the recovery house story that's told in one of the Traditions in the 12x12, maybe it's tradition 4 where the end result of all the rules for the recovery house is rule #62 "Don't take yourself so seriously..." Maybe the people who run that site need to consider that rule... and perhaps we ought to pray for them to do so! Good post, Rex!
Ray sent this to me also .. he is so funny! As you know we have gone the rouds with this banning and bouncing thing. I have worn my fare share of red dots, been bounced and am still banned from a couple rooms. I remember when I was new I was afraid of anyone that thought and acted diffrent then I did .. ment I was wrong and I couldn't be wrong. In AA I learned that there really is no right and wrong just my perceptions.. I also was given tools to deal with my fear. Today I am not afraid of a person that has diffrent ideas then I have. I can listen to them without fear and maybe learn a thing or two.
Ohhh, I was a little lost and thought it was my lameness. I am ok with being lame sometimes.
Pretty cool, I did not know you were a part of an online meeting. I am interested.
