The dreamy lovers walk  
And gaze at Earth -
A pretty marble ball.
Their home since birth,
This dreary lunar base,
So lacking mirth.
But, oh, imagine turf
Or kissing by a firth.

Fair winds and following seas.
May full sails surge with scudding breeze.
May peaceful moorings host your craft
wherever indulgent winds waft.

A toast now to your safe return.
May choppy seas be left astern.
May evening offer pleasing berth
to ensconce in halcyon firth....

Girth.

Don was born on this Earth,
On an island at end of a firth,
Near the warm end of their hearth.
Since right from day of birth,
He had an appreciable girth,
There was absolutely no dearth
Among his folks of joyful mirth,
Leaving Don with no sense of worth.

Her glance intriguing 
A simple pearl drop earring
Alabaster skin
Hair in a turban like wrap
Portrait of innocence

I am in love with  Colin Firth.

My friends snicker with such mirth.

Even watching the dear man stammer

Makes my heart start to hammer.

If an oscar he doesn't receive,

As he deserves, I believe,

I would be most happy to supply

A consolation prize for the guy.

Wrapping myself in a couple bows

And maybe a pair of stilettos....

I honor all my lies by heart
for everything their worth
And have to say it's too damn bad
you have my bale as firth

That all I gain is obvious
for telling hearts a lie
When everyone get's hut to say
that's not true; and here's why

And all of you will know it's true
when all I do is lie
And everyone avoids the truth
and comes to me on high...

the north wind blows
across the firth or clyde
the done in ferry boat
fights the rising tide
birds of prey they glyde
we beasties run and hide
up the furth of clyde

when the off shore wind blows
then you should never go
where it will take you 
you can never know
might be wee cumbrea
might be arron 
or some distant land
you will wash up on the sand...

Light shimmered on the lake at moonrise,
with a breathtaking view that glimmered.
Beneath the glow of Luna's pale luminance,
the night was calm on the banks of the firth
except for the cooing of a lonesome dove,
who thirsted like me, yearning to be loved.

I bet you. a show that stops my dog from barking at the tv was kitchen Nightnares
unless he ate one
before on the show
Is the forth or the firth
the right froth the write fourth
in this sentence
soz i was inspired by something
questions with answers within them
Like who famously wore a Sherlock Holmes hat?

would world war 3
be the next or the last one

soz just an idea im throwing about...

you can be the sun or earth
you can be the dew on grass
you can see the way and worth
see any ant dig eat and pass
run in a big bay see her girth
far you go cut and surpass
if not sea go try the firth
all are not gem few are brass
god has put two box one empty
now its you who has one key
you can win but not for free
bit by bit and try by try
hit by hit now jet fly high
omg you won samurai

Light shimmered on the lake at moonrise
a breathtaking view that glimmers
Lively serpentine swimmers
flow below astral skies
Ripples, side by side
roil to provide
reflections
on the 
tide.

Ride
a wave
as enslaved
'Neath Luna's pale
luminance, they sail
upon waters of Earth
Calm, the night above the firth
except for lonesome, cooing doves
thirsting, like me, yearning to be loved
