Today is National Poetry Day, and even though it's a bit late in the day, I wondered if any budding bards fancied writing a little ditty - or a long ode - about GRU? Online publication is guaranteed!

"Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognise how good things really are. "
(Marianne Williamson) -
Grans'rus is wonderful site,
Free to browse both day and night!
Welcoming,frieñdly full of fun,
Yet serious when that must be done.
A common bond unites us all
The blondes,the greys,the short,the tall.
Our childrens' children are our life
Their troubles cut us like a knife
Yet most of all they give us joy
The babes,the tweens,the girl,the boy
So thanks all grans on Grans'rus
Knowing you all is so joyous!

Clover - that's brilliant, and lovely, and true (we hope it comes over as friendly etc), and you are very clever!
Any more poets hiding their lights under a bushel?

A place
A place where friends can be found
A place to keep my feet on the ground
A place to give and get a hand
A place where happy meetings are planned
A place to share new baby joy
A place to tell us about that perfect toy
A place to call in every day
A place that suits me in every way
A place called GransRus!

Gru? Is it short for grumpy?
Is it about you?
Are we very gruesome?
Or just a jolly fewsome?
Are we gruff and grubby?
Or just a bit too chubby?
Are we quick to grumble?
Or just very humble?
Do we ever bear a grudge?
Or oft times give a tiny nudge
To others?
Do we scoff on Gruyére?
While skulking in our lair
In the kitchen?
Oh no! It's GRU
A trigraph coined especially
For women wise and charming,
Always kind and good as gold
But just - a bit alarming!Comment

Sum - we're not really alarming - are we?
