Roger tries his hand at poetry-ish writing....run!!!

Never underestimate the power of rats.

Especially the two legged kind.

Nice job, indeed.
Demonica is on the phone and I just read it to her.
She and DS applaud and so do I.

My favorite part is the ghost of Jefferson lamenting in the rooms of ruin.

Thanks.

Yeah, that just came to me today, while I was re-boring a cylinder.

Mechanical work is great, for having time to think.

Obviously, the poem was based on the middle ages rhyme "The house that Jack built."

You're welcome.
It's nice having a job that allows time to think, isn't it?
That's why I like gardening so much.....it's a kind of mindless work that produces beauty,
and at the same time, encourages the flow of thoughts.

Yep.  On other occasions, my job encourages the extremely rapid self-evaluation of my life.

But that, of course, is another story, entirely.

Slapping a coat of paint on something is a good technique, too.  And the fumes don't hurt, either.

Yeah, painting is always good, and so is kneading bread.

That poem is fuck-on-a on it!

Mind if I read it at some open mikes?

(that is, after I crawl out of my present shitstorm.)

Like it... not so with the repetitiveness, but you get that with this type of thing...

On the same subject, the thing I like about repetitive jobs is it gives your mind time to wander on to lots of other things. That's also the worst thing about them, if you're in a foul mood.

Go ahead.  I'd appreciate a credit, but it ain't really necessary.  Imitation IS the best form of copywrite violation, after all. :lol:

How you doin' by the way?  What the hell is going on?

I have your piece ready to go, all printed out. *sniff*.

I am better than I have been recently. Had a bit of troubles hit me all at once. I hinted at one of them in some other thread. I'll tell more when distance and time give me the ability. Or maybe Bella will be able to get it out of me next time she calls.

"When shitstorms happen, pass them the fuck along."
(My new motto.)

Ye gods! If it wasn't for my sweet girlfriend, I would have blown up and really gone on a molotov cocktailing spree...then again, there IS that electrical tazor I have hiding under the bed.

Sheesh! Thank goddess for your girlfriend then.
You'd be locked up until who knows when........you haven't told her about
the electrical tazor though, have you?

Nope. She thinks it's at a friends house...so yes...and nope.

An angry Celt bearing electrical tazors is not always the best idea.
It's always interesting, but it's not always best.

Now it's a damn shame I can't just call down lightning strikes from the sky.
Sure that's why the Good Lady invented electrical appliances.

You've never seen a 5'10" German boy carrying a sword that's a full foot longer than him, and using it quite well, all while shouting, "WINTERFELL!"

Yeah. And it was quite a sight!.......

Until he 'ran into' the mack truck.

That wasn't you, was it?

If it was, I hope the truck survived.
