out and about

[archy]

ive been on cyclechat
its where its at
if you want to chew the fat
so theres that

this post is dedicated to randomnerd
lover of trees and birds
gifter of spoons unobtainable in shops



he recently started a thread
which downward led
and caused me to sit up straight in my chair
a welcome corrective to my usual posture

where is this headed I wondered

he returned which was good
for those who like good
though judging by some replies
one is freshly reminded of the uncharitableness
 that can lurk in the centre of men
   amen

it is often said
that we wont be dead
when the big one hits
and youre all blown to bits

being so small
whilst you are so tall
ive had many years
to hone my perspective my dears
i agree with the man drinking commie tears

(in case that avatar disappears)

[close]

in sickness and health
by boom or by stealth
when the end comes youll know
its time to go oh no

woe will be you
all your institutions and art
all your music and vids
views will hit the skids

god will have sneezed
unblessed and displeased
no rainbow this time
to mark the scene of the crime

its grist for the mill
when youve had your fill
join me down here
well float on a tear
surface tension you see
thats perspective from me

curiosity killed the cat

Hey!

a cat was dying of curiosity
so he posted on a forum for all to see
who could have guessed not everyone would agree
with how he thought that things should be

his why is now locked to further reply
to avoid unsightly blood in the eye
no offence guy and im sure youre a guy
as threads go it wasnt qi

[archy]

facebooks not me cup of tea
its full of muck and zuck is yuck
but

and spreads the word with any luck

unwritten is worse
than unread verse
rebirth as a scaredy cat
would be the true curse

[Mehitabel]

Nice pep talk sir.

[archy]

this story being one

[Mehitabel]

I see what you're trying to do there. Next time start with a longer word.
