Matt’s dog was a sweetie, a retriever who loved everyone
New female friend thought bringing her cat would be fun.
The dog was giddy, glad to have a new furry friend.
Until the cat got persnickety and bit him hard on the rear end.
The dog gave a yelp and ran off to hide from the beast.
Jim tried to bandage his tail; he apologized at least.
His new amour laughed; said she had a ferocious cat.
This was the end of her relationship with good-natured Matt.
Having to undertake my journey through life
I face unusual situations...This time with animals...
In the lagoon the alligator opens its huge mouth and orders me:
-Swim.
.. In the field, the sibylline serpent hisses:
- Walk...
. !In the cold white snow the scary wolf looks at me and howls:
- Pass.
.. On the prairie the fierce buffalo roars
- Ride..
.. At the top of the rock, cunning menacing lion studies me and snores: -
Come here,,,
I almost calmly admonish:
- I'm not stupid or anything else I tell them: "I don't obey your orders" ..
This is how I continue my journey. Being able to tell this story alive,,,! ...!
Why this is my tale
Of my family tree and roots
The what and where
My Gaelic Celtic
Surname origins came
Straight out of my Liverpool home
Retracing my heritage right back to
The emerald island of Eire
Galway Bay
And the Wild Atlantic Way
Which paved the way
Where the
Ferocious O'Flaherty
Clan initially began and surname came
To Aughnanure Castle
On the shores of the Drimneen river
Where I myself have never previously been
Which I aim to put right and address
Because as they say and it's said
In order to know where you are going
You need at 1st to know
There fom whence you came
If no other reason
Apart from maybe just incase
In death you may well be returned
Indexed alphabetically under ones surname
Mine begining with the letter
" F '"
Moto and Meaning
Fortune Favors the Brave
Bright Rulers
Ferocious in both
Spirit and namesake
Dangbert was snorting and snarling and gnashing his teeth
He is feverously ferocious, full of anger and grief.
The old dragon watched, from her mountain seat high.
Thrilled to death of her son, who was scaring this guy.
Ferocious felines
Friday night feasting on fish
Fast and Furious five
Call girls on the prowl
They are busy with their clients
Five on Friday night

Feeling flirty yet feral, Felicity ferociously and fearlessly defended
her fellow, Felix Feldman’s felines against the feministic feline haters.
Splendiferously if the female felons who were fixated on the fight are to be believed.
Felicity fed Felix’s fervent feelings of faith by defending his felines,
and his right to have them in addition to their own formidable fellowship.
She was the fervent queen of the festivities and the fine, fancy, festival that fine
flavored evening.
Felicity in no way let anyone defile or defeat the felines or her faith.
Fact is, Felicity ferociously fought for fickleness and fecklessness
on Felix Feldman’s part.
She was his favorite female, and he was her famous fancy fellow. Felix's felines were fascinated by Felicity's faithfulness to Felix, and favored the ferocious feral way she felled the feministic feline haters.
It was the most ferocious time of my life,
I was angry all the time.
Angry at breakfast.
Angry during lunch.
Angry at supper.
I was angry because my teacher had a pact with my mom.
I was to wear a mitt on my left hand for the year at school,
so I could not use that "wrong hand".
In the 50's that's how we "cured" left-handedness.
That was sixty years ago, and I still remember that
ugly gray mitt with the white strings that I could
not take off.
My mother made it, at
Miss Kneefriend's urging.
Miss Kneefriend indeed.
Let me show Miss Kneefriend a knee.
Anger takes away happy.
Anger takes away reason.
Anger takes away everything that makes a kid human.
And I was never a human child in the first place.
I was always ready to kill after first grade.
Because I remember, and I knew myself,
and I liked my left hand, and she was
angry too.
Fury and Ferocious
Fury will end up finding ferocious;
At same time becoming atrocious,
Trump alluded;
Badly deluded;
Apparently appears to be precious.
And supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Jim Horn
The stomach growls, like a greedy bear, with his paw stuck in honey.

Ferocious strong bear.
Terror of your vast domain.
We'll keep our distance.
