"the act of separating the Two"
   The Twenty One Day Rule
By Professor Meanus Labyrinth
        "Gabba Gabba Hey" 
 Code name Project:  " Fragaria x ananassa"

Taint Whyle means to undermine a current relationship to bring it to null.
or not any, powerless it is a latin term.
Proxima meet a beautiful woman: he asked her, her name she told him it was Stella. Well her name was actual Hessiria, and her horses name was Stella. She dated him, while he thought her name was Stella,, the people in the community heard this and told the woman to tell him her real name she said she would after she knew him a little better. Well weeks later during a date she told him her real name.Full of emotion he thought they were getting closer and closer in there relationship. She was playing him along so the people around them started to do things to undermine there togetherness.Both musical artist they'd reheast with a band.Decreased intimacy and connection.Diminished trust and communication:they'd make plans so that both would be seperated and there interest to one another could be shattered by introducing them to people who's intent were to erode there trust of one another. It almost worked until the Lady became pregnant with the Mans child.Before the woman had announced her pregnancy:a member of the band had asked where were they, and the band leader said not here:taint whyle look for them to be together much longer his wisdom told him they'd be headed for slitsville sometime soon. He smiled mischiefly and started to play his trumpet.

(the Exact Quote was)
(Oh,Taint Whyle Bouis they'll be in slittsville soon!)

Notation:
The Trumpeter said: "he wouldn't dare defy me he believes in some of that wishy:wasy; punk stuff!"
Bouis is a term given to a woman who wishes for fancier garments and items.Like a wedding dress!

Premium Member The Foolish Farmer

Ty Ty Walden, what are we to do with you?
Your farm has steadily decreased in value.
People think you are a fool and not a bit funny.
You are not growing crops that would make you money.
Ty Ty, what about this foolish endeavor?
It is that buried gold you are digging to discover.
Your grandfather’s fortune is what you are hoping to see.
There are more unsightly holes all over your property.
Gold fever it seems has enveloped you still.
You even imprisoned an albino against his will.
The town is too dependent on the operation of the mill.
The closing has the population up in arms.
Son-in-law Will is enticed by Griselda’s charms.
Your troubles are compounding into a plethora.
How can you survive in those backwoods of Georgia?

Based on the novel "God's Little Acre" by the late Erskine Caldwell

Premium Member Another Mile

I met a lady likes to chat;
she’s rather short and once was fat.
Not being satisfied with that,
she made a change she thought worthwhile.

She stuck the plan; she never ceased.
The number on that scale decreased.
She’s thinner now, and she’s a beast
with newfound confidence and style.

Seems fighting pirates sheds the pounds
(especially with friends around)
for when they join, new strength is found
to somehow row another mile.

Though she’s not added to her height,
her rowing stats are out of sight;
while Crush is still not her delight,
those pained pics always bring a smile.

----------

Been hanging out with a delightful community of folks who all have Aviron rowers - we play Row To Riches (fighting pirates), and do Calorie Crushes (high intensity interval training) together, and have a pretty dynamic FB group to encourage one another to meet goals, stay active...

Saying that's been around forever
Where it came from I haven't a clue
There's many phrases just like this one 
So familiar to both me and you

PENNY

Is a word not heard much these days
Its value's much less than a cent
We used to get a big bag full of candy
At the store it was a big event

FOR

Many years its value has decreased
There's a rumour they'll not longer exist
Where's this technological age leading us
The good old days I so dearly miss

YOUR

Thoughts are probably, what an old geezer
He can't keep up with the times
But us old guys lived a much simpler life
For those good old days we still pine

THOUGHTS

Of sodas, ice cream and lollipops
Linger in the depth of our being
Tears can be seen trickling down our cheeks
A sad but so joyous a feeling

How High, How Low Is Our Inner Glow

How high, how low
is our inner glow?
How long will imagination swirl around
before finding that unique mind
in which lives a stunning vision
long pursued, never realized?

Which are the true colors
of flowers of an emblazed sunset...
when the spectacle delights?
Is the peaceful spirit immersed
in contemplation rather than prayer?
Are the fading gleams a sadness
never felt so profoundly?

How high, how low
is our inner glow?
How desperate we become
when we grope for uncertainty...
considering its outcome
with decreased probability?
How captured are we by those
vivid colors before they quickly
vanish into the vastness of space?

Apollo Devotee Bathed Earthling Coppertone Fresco

Caution taken (lathering
     exposed epidermis with sun screen)
     against harmful innocuous
     rich (Times New Roman)

     12 font ask tick sun yet sen sate)
     refulgent radiant balm
unequivocal panacea medicinal luxuriant calm
     on par with a old

     sister wives tale remedy me late mom,
would magically construe
     to alleviate home sickness qualm
post pledge initiation invocation befriending
     Jason the Argonauts and Major Tom

dizzyingly zipping thru space
     in search of the golden fleece,
     (which acquisition
     ranked as a no brainer)
which recollection, sans above exploit flashed

     (at greased lightening speed) this peace
full May afternoon, a pitch perfect spring day,
     one adequately oxygenated
     air supply crowded house

     legendary fete of the rising son momentarily
     sol limb lee flared concluding with reverberating
     (though decades elapsed
     since fortuitous galactic heralded

     world wide web panegyric
     broadcast cosmos wide),
     then with just as quick
     memorialized recollection

     prominently recalled,
     said remembrance as things past
     vis a vis denouement across Universe
     with Poof! lifelong (black hole sun hopping)
     capping achievement did surcease.

Ah...such blinding realistic provocation sparked
     via pure imagination
     upon one earthly terrestrial beast

Sunkist soaking raiment sequestered
     within corner nook decreased
with onset of dusk, a mind bending
     dreamy experience least

expected while nonchalantly fantasies take flight
basking (with robins)
     in an angulated nook sky height
upon premises of Highland

     Manor Apartment out of sight
from the buzzer (I may as well be
     a million miles away),
     thus poetic justice end trite.

Eat To Live Or Live To Eat

Grandpa said you work hard all day 
to do to yourself some good....
So, what you think as priory in your pay,
is a well deserved dish of good food!

For the less fortunate; one square meal.
And for the well off; another day's feast!
In diet classes, I say it’s not a big deal
to decline your favorites to have fat decreased!

At home, I sit with a well garnished pizza “extra cheese”.
a large chunk of ‘Black Forest cake’ to follow
and a glass of wine, selected and chilled, please.
I can't help, my stomach is an ever growing hollow!

So, do what I say but don't do what I do.
Rational on duty but mad for a ‘biryani”, spicy and hot!
Strong to my audience, but weak with a pint of home brew.
Excuse me, friends, I can’t resist much my cooking pot!

Premium Member Blind Justice of Quotas

Blind Justice of Quotas

The gavel falls by decimal,

The judgement by percent.

The individual decreased to small,

A fraction of intent.

The scales she holds no longer weigh

The implication of the crime; They total up

The data-set to clear the queue of time.

Injudicious eyes are bound

To grids of black and white

Where no extenuating ground can alter

Wrong to right.

We trade the law for calculators, Truth for

targeted numbers.

Escaping fair adjudicators for anything that
computes.

She stands in stone, a blind sum capture to
A pie-chart, crown- a goddess turned outdated,

While column weigh her down.

A ledger filled, a ratio net, The target achieved
And clear;

While justice weeps inside the trap of a
Mathematical World.

Premium Member Winged Zebra

Winged Zebra

Winged zebra dining on pure succulence,
beauty’s wanton need for satisfaction,
fulfillment of the blossoms scented craving
flowering nectar draped in golden orange.
What winds of chance have lifted your
frail wings, decreased the distance,
instinct slowly rising to a fevered need.

There was something about the way she moved
as if she glided - untethered - floated
through the chaos of a crowded room.
All eyes drifted, captured by her unintentional
beauty, mesmerized by the magic of such
effervescent energy.

She alit, soft cape draping her shoulders,
touched me for but a moment (as if to
fill a need) leaving me the better for
her passing, ever to dream
of her weightless wonder.
