Premium Member The List'

If you get a list.? Means you go to shop.' That one things
Mostly true.'
If your boat has a list, well thats not good.? Give her a trim Is what you do'
And if you were the president.? And a list just came your Merry way' A rich one so to say.?
It could be a (sort of vice?) I mind.? Which would give you
Maybe some mighty say.?
And cash could be quite accessible? when it arrives that very shopping day? or hour.'
Now would you want to loose.? Or give away such a thing
 Like a Wonka's zonka..Thats bonkers fiscal power.'

Premium Member Chocolate Listing Makes Us Sweeter

Cacao kisses caress the cheek
cocoa nails, polished feet

Chocolate cake, hot and rich 
Fudge syrup, sloppy kiss 

Truffle lotion oh so edible 
chocolate makes everything sweeter

Premium Member Paranoia Listing Makes Us Insane

Paranoia

     Words… said behind my back
     Fear… that he’ll never return my love
     Anger… there’s no comfort in tears
     Attacks… seem to come unprovoked
     People… we don’t even know
     Tension… always bestowed
     Insanity… too many voices in my head

Premium Member Nature- Listing Makes Us - Sane

Bountiful, careless, fixed, blind and programmed to kill....
Death, evolution.

The splendid structure comprehend imperfectly
Feel humility.

Thin screen of nature glory of omnipresent
God bursts everywhere

The whole of nature conjugation of verb “eat”
Active and passive

Nature Infinite center everywhere
No circumference

Nature, a teacher, preaches no sermons in stones
Spark more than moral.

A river leaves trash but has the sense to come back
Again to get it.

Premium Member Castor Oil Listing Makes Us Well-Sick

Palma Christe Uses
Food additive and flavoring agent no wonder we get sick now
Mold inhibitor agree with this one mold could not survive in its presence
Ingredients in skin care products like lipstick_don't lick those lips so much
Part of the seed contains a potent toxin called ricin which is deadly poison
An infection lingered after doctor's visit
Momma said castor oil the solution
Grape flavored slime
Gag, gag, nausea
Vomit, vomit, vomit, vomit
Cough, cough, cough
Diarrhea all night
Now two illnesses, upset stomach and snotty nose
Thank God no longer used as a medical treatment 
How could anyone give poison to a person anyway

Premium Member Garden Listing Makes Us Gardeners

There are roses in my garden.
I love their sweet perfume.
I pick their blooms and take them in
to brighten up my room.

There are spring bulbs in my garden.
Oh how I like to see
their first green spears
and then their flowers as a spring gift to me.

There are butterflies in my garden.
They've come to have a nip.
I help the petals to unfold
so they can have their sip.

The birds are in my garden
and filling it with song.
I know when they are building nests,
summer's here before too long.

Perennials and annuals
take up their garden place.
Each does his best to decorate
my precious garden space.
