Other Comments: Humorous and light-hearted, but with a serious message. I very much like my first motto, so much so that I'm going to be greedy and request another (and Hi878, let someone else get a word in edgeways ;)!) edit
Motto: The man ahead dragged his foot 'cross the floor;
I grew so curious I had to know more.
"Excuse me," I said, "What is your name?"
"Your limp caught my eye- are you injured or lame?"
He looked surprised. "I am hobbling, 'tis true–"
"But it's only because of my broken shoe!"

Motto: Yesterday I went to my new school
I saw the bully and his best friend too
He laughed at me and called me names
I showed him WP:CIVIL and WP:NOOB
The bell rang and in came the teacher
Who told us to be on our best behaviour
And so I raised up my hand and retorted,
‘Please, miss, read WP:NPOV and WP:OR!’
And then the teacher looked very angry
So she taught us about modern history.
‘Blair was a prime minister,’ she said
‘Please, miss, read WP:V and WP:BLP!’
So she told me to skip lunch today
And at the detention room I was to stay.
So I showed her WP:BURO
And look! She showed me WP:NOT#DEM!
Straight to the principal’s room I went
And said some words which were well meant
I shouted WP:NOBIGDEAL
And off I went, for I was on a WP:WB!
And a rhyme break, too!

Other Comments: Is it posible for Motto Shop to deliver a motto for today 31st of October 2011 to Wilhelmina Will and al the gurls and guys active on MotD? I wanted to make a special nomination for Halloween, but I forgot to do it /o\.
Here are some suggestions:
- from Dracula: "Listen to them. Children of the night. What mu-u-u-sic they make."
- from "The Raven" (1845) by Edgar Allan Poe: "And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore!
