To instill peace and then engage in what should not be killed.
The bigger/the richer/the faster the peach,
the better the chance to catch up someone's speech.

the tongue this
agreeable
word
like music

Much like compliments, so do condiments
~ bring forth sweet temperaments
There is no such thing as a remarkable dinner
~ sans the remarks
nuggets of
wisdom
mined
from
the
crucible
of the
misshapen
slumped figure
in
the
disconsolate
wheelchair

Some of us are watching the skies for works of fire
While some of us are quietly catching it.

No need to shout
Because if you got yourself in
You can usually get yourself out.

ballet's leaps and bounds ahead

tutelary

In sang-froid, sass cords:
Sangoma dashes siren,
Thunder crashes trunk;
Sarky banters with lippy.
Spim for Santa maidenhead.
Remember to do;
What you listen to.
Another word of wisdom I had my children to SPEAK so that they would remember it.

Morality keeps a child pure
Assaulted by waves of profanity
high tides of depravity
Bestrewn, shards of urbanity
~ flotsam of humanity
Why holler or shout
Why scream or cry out
What good will it do to start a riot
Stand your ground ~ but say it quiet
marsupials are just mammals
pity duplicity
speech whenever trammeled
surceases clarity
