No adults there to keep the score
As each of them wanted more and more

Three of four empires lay upon that map
As they...

Deliver streams into flowing rivers:
Down slopes covered in forests
Of Sitka Spruce and Western Hemlock,

Ali’s Song
by Michael R. Burch

They say that gold don’t tarnish. It ain’t so.
They say it has a wild, unearthly glow.

The taste of bile treads my thoughts,
Unwillingly my feet must now follow,
Source of inspiration guide,

Republican 'Sandburs!' 

Republican sandburs are such an annoyance,
This kind of a weed seems to love to hitch ride,
They scoff at man's brotherhood, scorn to share taxes
Humanity sometimes, well, feels set aside.

that adorns clothing these days—

Eager hands fluttering like twin doves in flight,
Delivered buttons. 
His effort earned him...

Groups of pirates, adventurers, thieves and whores
