Pulchritudinous virtual crime pulled off without a cocked hitch
Pulchritudinous virtual crime pulled off without a cocked hitch delivered me back in the dark shadows and the underbelly of the web, where impossible mission to differentiate the outer limits cast by edge of night essentially rendering a twilight zone where obscured criminal activity clear as day in retrospect, versus earlier this month when yours truly gung ho obediently got a...

Premium Member Tear-Off My Windscreen Please
I’m racing round the NASCAR scene, With bugs and grit upon my gleam. The rubber flies, the dust goes wild, Screen’s smeared, rip it off, I cried. Tear it Off, Rip it Off! Shatter My Veil, to Crystal Clear, Please! Got no time to wipe, stop or weep, My tear-offs are stacked ten deep! Snatch and rip my world to clear, Let's end the pit-stop...

Premium Member WHEN THEY TURNED THE MUSIC OFF
We love to listen to the music of the mountains from our cabin… The wind whistling through the trees… The buzzing of the hummingbird wings…the birds’ songs floating on the breeze. So when we took a picnic to our favorite spot on the Parkway (where we’ve been picnicking for 37 years) We were excited as we anticipated in this...

What's Offal and were to get it Allegretto
ZGlance Phattey is a marvelous movie it has enough equal parts to balance even the most religious or anti religious person or people. People often get tired of the religious reasons for doing or not doing things. I heard "The Baronet and Knight were in dispute due to her belief in a non- sexual relationship be fore...

Premium Member Taken by the Off Ramp
When logic fails, something within me undeniably stirs, something that was always there, in the silent void, waiting for me to veer off, and let go. To stop thinking, start feeling, and open up. I shed my incumbent clothes, waded in, felt the tug of the tide, tasted the salty water on my lips, and went with the flow. To be carried to places reason could,...

Premium Member Bye Bye, I'm Off to Mars
Redlight One to Mission Control! Can you read me, Can you read me? Are you there? Has the comet hit you yet? Did the 'Nuke it Baby' missile work? Can you read me? Can you read me? Perhaps not! Oh well, here we all are, in our tin can spaceship, with our tin can robots driving the show. With all our tin can things...

Premium Member Off The Scale
The older I get the more I think Of my very last day on earth It's almost impossible not to think about it I'm not obsessed by it But when I hear of all these famous people That I've known for a lifetime Passing away at or around my age It makes me stop and wonder When my final day will arrive Will I...

Shrugging Off
Some people can shrug off their failures Or laugh at their feeble attempts, While others, like me, Find frustration to be What an aptitude never exempts. For when trying to learn a new skill set, If I find myself really inept, I get into a funk With my confidence shrunk And there’ve even been times I have wept. Oh, I envy those shrugging-off people Who poke...

Premium Member Ollie Onion Tells off the Kitchen Knife
Ollie onion had never been this mad in his life He turned all his anger on the kitchen knife How dare you try to peel me, you interloper, he said. The knife was embarrassed, his face turned red. I did not know that you were alive, he admitted. No one told me this, I am confused, he spitted. Ollie was not...
