Intimidating Smile

Harassment on
Molested grin
It means it's cheap.

Premium Member With just a stone

Goliath was a big threat to Israel
A giant with intimidating records 
Of military prowess which turned Israelite soldiers 
To a bunch of faithless cowards
And to an army of lily livered derelicts
As they capitulated in fear 
And let the sleeping dog lie
While Goliath had his fill
Threatening God’s own army 
But it took a lively faith and just a stone 
To bring the mountain of a giant 
Crashing to a disgraceful end
As David used faith as heavenly currency 
To purchase heavenly grace
And brought the boastful philistine
To a dismal end
Are you faced with any life’s challenges?
Look back with faith on God’s track record in your life
And be filled with amazing strength and power 
To overcome all Goliaths threatening your very existence

Premium Member Harold the Hostile Intimidating Chimp

Harold is the most hostile chimp king we have ever had
I said “he could not be tougher than my angry granddad”
Then I met him, and he was real bad with a skull for a crown.
Surrounded by roses, pheasants and feathers, ram horns made a sound.

He is rather frightening I admitted, for I was afraid of his gold eyes.
I am afraid of him too said Queen Mother, his mom – no big surprise.
Big Lulu came by and kicked Harold off his throne with much glee.
Having no idea that she was his wife, I was astounded by she.

Danger

Her laugh was a sharp sound. 
It made you wonder whether she was amused or if her throat was simply incapable of making any other sound. 
It suited the heavy look in her eyes, the straightness of her spine. 
When she laughed, everyone within the room paused, at once enraptured and affronted. 
The curve of her lips gave nothing away but danger.
