Baleful asinine artifice..I was going to put it could be many things.' Then I concluded that They are quite thick..Those we oppose.' Pendantic and predictive its just how they tick !

Whatever wrapping is used, veiled hate is still an act of cowardice. Very well expressed S1 ~ Regards // paul

Awesome one liner. Loved your title. It was the same word on my mask I was wearing in stores a few years back!

This is very true. That is why innuendo is so naughty.

Yes but innuendo done with taste is ok...innuendo isn't hate..some like to use certain words to offend a whole race of people sadly.. thanks Jude

Oh Silent One, I agree with your final assessment ! I'd rather be a Black Sheep, I may not fit with the rest of the flock but at least you'd know it! Love your Monoku, Happy Thursday!

Yea like baa baa black sheep, but some metaphors are not so deep enough, and some mirror the dirt within ones soul, like the fake eyelashes some wear, or weaves. Looks pretty good for the souls that arent too deep but hate i can feel between words no matter what sorta riddles one writes, i can feel energy through words, and i stay away from dark energy and baa’s arent so good for my kundalini! Lol brilliant powerful monoku. Sorry for the rambling . my comments can be a bit “OFF” sometimes
