Premium Member The Pedicure Virgin
I don't know what came over me that day - an instant of weakness after years of resistance, I suppose.

My beaming spouse leads me, a dog on a short leash, into the forbidden citadel, the sanctum sanctorum of feminine fastidiousness, the dreaded nail salon.

As we...

The Secret Lives of Chimney Pots Ii
Gazing down along the zealously
Monitored borders of well clipped
Evergreen Privet hedges.
Standing watchful guard over 
Divisions
Re-enforced by concrete posts and
Darkly stained, wooden, wavy-lap 
Fences;
Age-old neighbourly disputes, petty
Grudges and childish jealousies -
Ably demonstrated by various
Patchworks of shabbily constructed
And hastily planted defences!

Seated high in our remote eyries
We watch...

An Uncanny Truth
A few also rented words by David Archuletta:
"A Writing style technique that hides with an evasiveness, while still long steeped in confusion."

Premium Member The Truth Is Still the Truth
I'm searching far and wide for the facts, getting my hands dirty in the process
When we conquer nations, I say bloodshed and they say progress
I have no desire to be burned at the stake
Simply practicing freedom of speech for Pete's sake
I know it's gonna hurt...

The Ballad of Ma Possum
THE BALLAD OF MA POSSUM
Roofing like a penthouse floor,
Tis not a haunt but Ma's snore.
A wombatic possum in appearance,
Being nature's pinup is her arrogance.
Her distintictive, brush, bob tail, loss,
reputedly, respected as the boss poss.

Hearing her grunt and fight,
echoing a freaky still night fright.
Oh!, nightlife beware,
if...

Premium Member Rehashing History: Albert Einstein, relatively speaking
Albert Einstein was an interesting guy,
Indisputably smart and reputedly shy.
His legacy's statistical,
But had he been more egotistical,
Instead of E=mc2, he might have called his theory "Me, myself, and pi".

Premium Member Santa, Or Jesus
SANTA, OR JESUS

While talking with a niece of mine
She spoke of Santa Claus
And then she spoke of Jesus
Then sat in a lengthy pause

If you believe in Santa Claus
That's  okay with me
But Santa Claus didn't die for us
Hanging on a cruel tree

Santa's nice to have...
