Dropped In the S:::

i’ve been s-coffing quite a lot lately ~ i think perhaps i’ve got a s-cold 

said menippean to the rhymester ~ s-pitting out helios as he s-trolled 

                               —————————————

     a fair straightforward non rotating ~ syllable counted monoku 
          #.                                  #.                                #
even the maggots are important ~ grow wings and persevere with life

He honestly never stops Harry, like a broken record player, scoff after scoff after s:::, one who would deny us our very existence if he could, thanks so much for the visit, cheers David

well it's more than one line but sure entertaining. I enjoyed the puns I saw. Is this for the pun contest?

Oh damn I forgot about the pun contest going on, but no this one is for the menippean fly in the soup, ah no he’s a great guy really, bit of a joker doesn’t take human existence serious at all, cheers David

Not so crazy about what maggots turn into. Let them all pass on. I know we need them to clean up the carrion. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

We sure do Sara also they can clean infected wounds, but alas when humanity is taunted by the menippean, I choose to stand my ground, cheers David

Thanks Victor, he is indeed a peculiar case, constantly s-coffing about his poisoned views on humanity, cheers David

Ha yeah but much worse Tom, I mean who would he be like at all, going around telling every human on earth, it would be better if they were never born, he has serious nihilistic issues indeed, cheers David

Heya Christopher, hope you’re keeping well, Ah this is just an ongoing battle against one who wants to kill off the whole human race, in fact he blames us on the whole universes problems, when in fact we’re the only ones who actually try give reality meaning, cheers David
