Her Name Was Jasmine And Her Beauty So Divine
Her name was Jasmine and her beauty so divine
Her voice was a picture of mountain majesty
Soft melody and sweet words kissed ear so fine
Me to stand back, not ask her out, a travesty.
I was on fluffy cloud nine when she said her yes
Did not bother me that it was not a clear match
Jessie said, yep, she felt sorry for you I guess
She gets good look at you, she close door, hit the latch.
I gave flowers and sweetest kisses in the morn
Cook her waffles and my special bacon and eggs
Gave God thanks, asked Gabriel to blow his horn
I was Romeo when to Juliet he begs!
She would call me her darling and her handsome prince.
Never heard such honey-baked words ever since.
Robert J. Lindley, March 7th, 1972

1st note- '""Gabriel""
""A Gabriel's horn (also called Torricelli's trumpet) is a type of geometric figure that has infinite surface area but finite volume. The name refers to the Christian tradition where the archangel Gabriel blows the horn to announce Judgment Day.""
2nd Note:
In youth we face many challenges, love being a very big one..
(For MTG, LB and their ilk)
Give a koala
A fistful of eucalyptus leaves; their only food,
They won't know what to do with it.
Gotta pick it themselves, or starve.
That's because their brains are smooth,
Like chicken breasts.
No convolutions, small surface area, few connections.
What you see is what you get;
Pretty damned dumb for a mammal.
It seems to me, my dears,
You bear a striking resemblance
To these creatures.
Hand you a concept outside of your bubble -
You know, the food of higher thoughts - You just stare at it,
Reject it as undigestible.
This renders your very thoughts smooth,
No convolutions, small surface area, few connections.
What you see is what you get;
Pretty damned dumb for mammals.
it was the right thing to do
for a world that needed help.
he spoke of his invention,
instead of replacing the roof
he devised a contraption
that shielded the whole
roofing area," the thing
is supported to the house
and it refuses to be blow from it.
it refuses to allow the
rains and snows to
seep into the roofing area!
it is supported by beams that
are anchored to the
surface area of the house
and are too anchored and
attached to the corners of
the housing unit
and are customized to fit!
these replacements can cover
customized homes, sheds, barns
and mobile and recreational trailers.
they make sense for a world that
can't afford to be poor!
Beautiful Creature
Kiara Lebel
The bruises on the surface area
The broken pieces beneath the chest
The blemishes on the thighs
This is a beautiful creature
This human is unique
The smile from redemption
This human is as substantial as the next
This is a beautiful creature
The soft tone, but the loud screams
The monster hiding inside
The distant look inside the eyes
This is a beautiful creature
The tears that flow like a river's current
The stares that only the nights owl has to offer
The brain full of catastrophe
This is a beautiful creature
Not only women, but men
Not only strength but weakness
Not only in sight but blind
This is a beautiful creature
The tally marks on the body tell a story of defeat
But the scars show survival
This human is unique
This is a beautiful creature
