Once there was a man called John biscuit, the faith
“What you believe you are, you are” biscuit’s great faith
Come hell or high water
Shame, redicule no matter
Bloody biscuit what do you believe? Tell the truth....

the going gets tough
no pain no gain sink or swim
burn the midnight oil

soldier on stick to 
your guns bite the bullet come 
hell or high water

go the extra mile
the going gets tough stand your 
ground dig in your heels

up and at ’em where 
there’s a will, there’s a way on 
the ball hang in there...

Entitled Cup

We All Have Divergent Opinions

Some Of Them Rise Like Demons
From Tortured Raging Fiery 
Magnanimous Cauldron Hate-Full-Ness!

Some Of Them Hiss Like Serpents
Cavorting Wet From The Deepest
Darkest Slithering Am-Big-U/Us Depths... 

And...
Arise Now!

*** Storm!!! ***

We're All Entitled To
All Of Our Opinions.

[Come Hell Or High Water.]

Listen to poem:

Hell hath no fury, when all Hell breaks loose, 
Yet come Hell or high water, I’ll press on regardless,
For the sheer Hell of it, though I'm as hot as Hell.
I'm Hell bent, I'll fight like Hell, with all Hell to pay,
Having a Hell of a time, raising all Hell on earth,
On the road to Hell and back again, until I get the Hell outta here,  
Then, Hell will freeze over, and Hell's bells will ring and chime,
Leaving me stranded, between the devil, and the deep blue sea....

Be strong, breed of mum! 
For with them you won't find a bliss.
They will make sure you lack and miss.
They will even be counting 
the sips of water you drink. 
They want you to stumble and fall
And only them the sound and strong.
They have got no word of honor
No respect and no hope of being temid.
With them in darkness you will remain 
And come hell or high water
They will sort you out false and wrong.
They may look carat 18 of gold, 
But they are only plated and fake....

Being lazy today is the name of the game.
I have no remorse, I have no shame.
I’m watching Hallmark movies to my heart’s content.
This Saturday afternoon will be well spent.

Come hell or high water, I won’t leave the couch.
This is what the doctor ordered for being a grouch.
The housework can wait, this requires my attention.
Being lazy today is the mother of invention!
