Superlative

I'm a bunch of superlatives, like many of my contemporaries. We love, hate, laugh and cry, to the greatest degree, like a superlative.

Premium Member Ben Franklin's Turkey

Witty Founding Father Ben Franklin

Gave his contemporaries many a grin.

Although he wanted the turkey to be our national bird,

Fortunately John Adam’s “eagle” had the final word.

All my contemporaries care greatly about such things as self gain, and securing a spot in 
heaven; while I could care less about those sort of things.

Wizard: Legend of Literary Titans

Free from the sins of the America’s bureaucracy,
you were always indifferent
To jealousy,

Yet your poetry
Has fostered poets
To compose legendary verses,

And, though you are distinguished from,
The majority of your contemporaries
The wounds of the broken have been mended.

Those Forgot

It is whatever mankind has learned true from our shown universe, an acknowledgment of such, - comes only through his contemporaries previous numerous scientific failures. Likewise then, the same shall stand for those who continually seek to question what powers the Word of God, providence will show more than a certain probability, - the recorded measure of their faith and eventual pitching into the Valley of Gehenna - long forgotten in death!

Premium Member Baldwin Piano Company

A standard piano keyboard has eighty-eight keys.
Use them all, and you can play melodies.
Whether it is classical, jazz, or contemporaries,
listening to a skilled pianist can please.
Here is a manufacturer that is known all around.
Products from the Baldwin Company make the best sound.
The instrument can be a grand or an upright.
Among their many models, you can find one that’s right.
So if you are in the market to acquire a piano,
any dealers who sell Baldwin are the ones to know.

Ahh, the Universe

It is by whatever mankind has learned to be true from our shown universe, an acknowledgment of such, - most assuredly comes only through his contemporaries previously noted and numerous scientific failures. Likewise then, the same shall stand for those who continually seek to question what powers the Word of God, providence will show more than a certain probability, - the recorded measure of their lacked faith and eventual pitching of soul into the Valley of Gehenna - long forgotten by life!
