Asked for a beurre, I berate;
a croissant so flaky and straight.
I got ordinaire; what a nerve;
The dumb waiter threw me a curve!
Clint's an iffy fellow, tis prestige vs the ordinaire, my dear plain Jane--hmm, partially accommodating.
Methinks you're a drop-off, my dear, picture a car dropping you off curbside while he goes looking for a fictitious parking space, but a gentleman he is uses the factual context of the 11th hour--OPS you to HAIL me.
I gather Mr. Eastwood was gifted said ticket, ... that I am guessing you so happened to be in pysical possession.
How did you know that? That would pleasure him of not being a CAD!
I forgot that you're like some madda carrie.
Mother who? You mean that Mother Teresa (rising popularity 1979).
No, that German one.
A German Mother Teresa? Was she young Adolph's school teacher.
Oh forget it! [LATER: she reveals "Mata Hari']"
Did he you call you and tell you, or are you playing Holmes?
Doc--tor 'tis Clint's gift?
Yes, but-- ... --wait ... it must be somebody of importance ... yes, but who?
Hehehe! It would be very rich for me, if I saw a glimpse of your face at this relevant juncture-------was I your suggested choice?
... Yes, Oh my? You're scary!
Two holidays extraordinary
bookend a day - simple, ordinary
How is that unfortunate day viewed
sandwiched between the other two
Well, strange as it may seem
and believe me, this is no dream
That simple day, upon further reflection
has the advantage of science-based refraction
Picture each holiday as a separate painting
each one glorious, majestic, self-sustaining
Then give a two-sided mirror to our 'Day Ordinaire'
Voila! ~ Now, which of the three days is 'Extraordinaire'

I
I layeth within walled morals of enduring convictions to coexist and be,
A delicate breath of precious life to self-assess being,
Serendipitously, I ascend in wonderment, fully aware,
Into the dawn, I hoped to perceive being ordinaire,
Challenges made the zest of life be gains,
Charms ardor of will, fortitude, justifies presence,
Fairly placed in the room of amassed commonality,
Memorable loves, and losses, that made me,
Well measured, oft maintained, visions persist,
I layeth within walled morals of enduring convictions to coexist and be.

~~Silent One: Judged 2019 October 04
Lovers with a Star Cover
I'd love to see a shimmering you,
With a sheet draping your generous thighs!
A colossal glass of vin ordinarie,
Mirroring a glittering, starry, stupendous sky.
We'd both be overcome with jubilance,
You sip that vin ordinaire with naughty eyes
Both of us drawn to each other, yes,
By a silent, all consuming, love-tide!

Butterflies dance in mid air
Watch them you'll see them twirl,
And swirl.
There's two, some times three which makes this
So far from ordinaire.
Nothing can compare
As the wind helps the butterflies whirl.
Butterflies dance in mid air
Watch them you'll see them twirl
As they go through our thorough fares of flowers With flair.
Watch how they pirl.
This is so much fun girl.
I never was even aware
That butterflies dance in mid air.
My girlfriend decides what to wear
The dress she wore had a tear
She ran up the stairs
To change into something ordinaire
For the country fair
A Golden Calf came through our old town for people to worship whether deft or daft.
If anyone impedes this Olympian flame in disporting procession coming from this flawed
home (like all ours) of demos kratos - Greece will save itself if it be true to 'people
power' that now has a spring in its not always athletic step, gamy leg they will be
game, a terrorist to to types of boot, receiving their (in) just desserts if they spoil (be
fair) many people's pleasure. It will be an arresting scene for we vin ordinaire to drink
in the sights of champagne wasting sporty types, Olympic worthies, 'celebrities',
politicos like bouncy Boris in his and their special Soviet fast lanes that no war or civil
hero just 'sporting' ones will ride in this four times over budget shindig that we
taxpayers of the world, mainly this faire isle will gladly pay for them to play knowing
that they shaft us every day yet cannot they take our souls from us whether we are
believers or no - each our very selves will truly show.
