I wondered lonely as a cloud,  
That floats on high o’er vales and hills.  
When all at once I saw a crowd  
A host, of golden armadillos.

I wonder why you felt the need to add “(This is a thread game)” to the title  
of a thread in the “Thread Games” category.

Ours is not to wonder why. Ours is just to do or die.

To specifically answer you’re question-  
I have been accused of not having descriptive Thread titles  
Just trying to ‘make it so’.

I suppose it was a bit too much.

I can’t win for losing.

I wonder why I need to keep hearing about thread titles?

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder why each little bird has a someone  
To sing to, sweet things to, a gay little love melody  
I wonder, I wonder, if my heart keeps singing, will my song go winging  
To someone who’ll find me and bring back a love song to me

Next, this “Oneders”, with the O-N-E, it doesn’t work. It’s confusing. From now on, you boys’ll just be… simply The Wonders.

As in, I _wonder_ what happened to the O’Needers?

When I was a youngster, I was just **burpo\_the\_mutt**. When I left the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, I added the you-know-what to my name. Like Pigpen says, “It sort of makes you wanna treat me with more respect, doesn’t it?”

Well, if Krypto can get away with it, so can I!! 🤪

I wonder…why when you buy the very smallest tiny thing of pink glitter for arts and craft, for your 5th grade Li’l wrekker, to decorate her poster is there still pink glitter around the house?  
Something like 13years later.

Glitter is the herpes of the arts and crafts world. It never really goes away.
