CAT'S EYE
In the pegmatite seams that vein many ancient rocks
Rhombic crystals of chrysoberyl the mineral mosaic locks
Their off-white silky sheen begins to slowly flourish
As the dull and rough crystals get expert artisans’ polish
Unique chemical bonding imparts mystique translucence
Brings out the gem’s refracted internal optical essence
On their face moves bands of light, a glowing property
That makes them dazzle with precious flashing beauty
Astrology avers they protect from dangers and diseases
Bestow abrupt wealth coming from unexpected sources
If you have belief in this, this gem you need not buy
For you already have a deep-set pair of shining cat’s eye.
*Cat’s eye gem is made of chrysoberyl mineral

Take no acetic crow to a crown party. For feathers fly as the dresses are announced and who wishes to swim in thick tar or oil anyway. No a pointing stick says. That is quite right. And rights are righteous and righteousness is a right-angled visionary visualising rhombic robot. Dare to argue with GHQ? Or something that is said that is not paths? Tread light. Upon the grounds of carpets. Carpets carry carnivorous carnage. And a douchebag in a suit is neither a swimming whale nor a wallaby. Ok then. Good. Fantastic news for all who attend the operatic antics of the wardrobe sheaths.hahaha pickled melon meeting pickled lime. Hahaha leotard lion leapt. Hahaha swordfish sampling sailing seas. Xxxx Constantinople z. That was the p y q reporting in the afternoon from the aerial perspective of the debate about that apple pie. Z
