French films of your youth
one look full of longing later in the glow of electric lips a brush with the unknown... those were the French films of your youth your concomitant struggles for love rambling through the summer heat gliding in the seaside breeze down in the deep dead blue to yearn, to be strangely stranded among the widowed twin tides in your sleepy demeanour still...

Multinational
If it takes a dollop of Dutch courage to French kiss an English rose would it make a lily-livered Indian giver look down his nose but with Yiddish chutzpah as a Spanish fly on the wall and luck o' the Irish you could Australian crawl and yet the Chinese fire drill it's still a safe bet and a Mexican standoff are not Russian roulette but who'd deliberately...

Premium Member Subs v Dubs
In the debate between dubbing and subbing I side with subs to savor the original mellifluous French, Tamil, Korean, Italian... Reading the subtitles assists the deaf and hard of hearing although voiceovers benefit the blind and vision impaired. Historically dubbing was employed by fascist governments to advance the nationalist agenda. In our own time the tendency to consider...

The Offspring Of The Floating Potheads
They inhale the poisonous substance, adduction had no power over resistance; their brain's responsiveness is too slow: look at them: their glance is so mellow! This is the offspring of the floating potheads, they renounce everything that means strides; they sit in a relaxed pose with mindless eyes: soldiers fight the wars, while they enjoy puffs. " Vacant glances and sunken...

Yeah Right
The lyrebird v.s. the African Grey Parrots The shrinking Thymus Centerstage they took time to perform. She had spoke to other before te eveing. She wished to dance, dine and dance.Plie', she aid even though I lack the skills of beautiful artistry. They all laughed. The gentlemen took seats asking for scotch before they were seated in...

Hello Sitty Patty
They got this weird thing going on. They have tthese parties and serve steaks. They save the bones and dry them out and even smoke them. They mix ground meat and pack it around the bone, and then do the same with the ground fat. I tasted it: it was good but I was told not to...

The Girl with a red hat
She woke up to a sunrise; Bright in her eyes as she rose She stares at the moon as it disappears. The red hat sitting on her dresser, As she picked out her daily dress. Brushed her hair, sprayed perfume- Still, something was missing. The girl followed the echoes of her mom’s voice; Alerting her of the time rush. As she waited for the...

Falcon Fuel
Sycophants, thy future. On what does it depend? Gold upon the ground, be pure! River, yield thy bend! Tormented, ye prophets? Pleiades, rescue me! Toolshed, art thou Tophet's? Fly, O fancy-free... Gain upon in rhythm? By what right, friend and foe? Onward, black abysm! Dark backward, well ... Although ... Reign of conquerors endless! On this doth all things hinge! Forward, O ye stark friendless! Heart within all, twinge! White sand,...

Dora had cancer
The news isn't good, And I did not expect, Prognosis and results, When I got to the vet, My heart hit the floor, My head in my hands, I've been here before, I need to make plans, DORA has got cancer, Why her for god sake, The dog I love dearly, Is there for the take, She is my best buddy, A big part...

Dora my French bull dog
I usually sit down with my tea, And Dora not so far from me, Her slava drooling from her jaw, On command she'll raise her paw, On occasion food will drop, Dora the hoover cleans up the slop, She eats for fun she's never full, One big stomach she's like a bull, And one big drawback it isn't smart, She let's one slip a...
