...er he wasn't a man of self pitty

Or given to defeat

He found himself a new hobby

Leaving the alcohol underfeet

So he gathered up some animals

Built himself an unconventional farm

With a few Pigeons and Pheasants

And an old hound dog

To protect the race horse in the barn

When his ageing body failed him

Many came to pay their final respects

Discussing all the kind things he'd done

From lending out his truck

and paying a friends financial debt

My father wasn't a church go'er

Believing the walls would cave in on him

for passed transgressions he'd done

Still I think he met God somewhere

Simply because of his selflessness

and courage to overcome

I don't know if there are Angels

Humble enough to walk our carnal streets

But if there are

I'd bet they'd dress in old barn clothes

And they would walk with pigeon feet

First off, if you don't understand how this all works, please check out our help page.
It should answer most of your basic questions.

All authors are responsible for their own content. We don't write this stuff. You do. So feel free to use a little adult humour, but please don't go overboard, or we'll have to flag the story as mature content.
Second, if you're adding a chapter to an existing story, try and stick to the theme, back-story and characters of the original story as much as possible. This makes it easier to keep the storyline alive and kicking.
When you're writing, try not to write more than one or two segments of the same story at a time. It keeps the story fresher and funnier if you let others play along. :)
Posts need to be at least 140 characters long. That's about three average sentences, not too painful, but it prevents spamminess.
Finally, try not to kill off the main character in a story... at least, permanently. It can be pretty detrimental to the storyline — it's also useless, as someone is bound to revive the character.

Note: Please be careful if you spent a long period of time writing the same branch. It's entirely possible that someone else is completing the same branch as you, and in that case, since we don't lock posts while you edit, whoever posts first will "win" and you'll have to move your post elsewhere.
