what can stop it but the heat
so it won't get any flatter?

Premium Member I Am Addendum

When I batter myself 
when I’m broken and in doubt;
When I put the mixer on high
without letting my emotions settle down?
I am my own worst enemy.

There was a man from Wangaratta 
Who used to kill flies with a splatter
He’d swish and swat 
I tell you what 
He looked like a Major League batter.

Why Black Lives Matter

So many blacks pass
Ran out of gas
Fighing back
That's a fact
The stood tO all
With sign on the wall
Some beat and batter
That
why black lives matter

This we all must do
Lives matter too
Do what's right

Stand up stop and stuff
There no more batter
ALL
Lives Matter

Because smoke is filling the shack.

Mother of Jackie Robinson

I can hear what Jackie Robinson's mother
is saying right now. "Batter up, even when 
I am making biscuits so that I can be baking 
them."

Adding calories quickly embraced,

Splash

You have two choices: 
Splash me with tenderness 
or splash me with spitefulness. 
Whatever you decide 
to batter me with 
is what you’ll
be swashed with afterwards.
