So many people and the various sores
Intoxicated in such a way my eyes,
That wanted open to crying their doors.

But Virgil told : “What for you look this guise?
Why now your sight is so carefully brought
Down...

So bridge to bridge, of other things speaking
Of which my comedy does not take care,
We walked; and reached the top, when seeking

Of falling water in the circle next

my body racked with pain,

The multitude (by hordes beset
with battle-ax or bayonet)
braved blades, dyed red...

As I was walking swiftly
Just to reach Bajoga early
To see what a hot birthday
Will be chucked in the day

silent issues

humanity
and the hypocrisy
of soft tissues

openly
running out of paper rolls
secretly
disgrace on humanity's cheeks silently rolls

there's a monument
on earth

a well known secret

a hood by night...

Where have all the soldiers gone, Long long time ago,
Where have all the soldiers gone,
Gone to graveyards, every one.
When will they ever learn?
When...

The bane of a cold sore inside my mouth

Sent my smooching life south,
whereby I felt like poor Georgie Porgie,
pudding and pie,
who kissed the girls and made them cry.

The medical term for cold sores,
Herpes Labialis, refers

And not a “fun” one, I must confess
But our hostess I adored
And I just couldn’t say: “I’m bored”,

So, I milled around, and said “Hello”
