Life is a series of tests
armies of unwelcome guests
wave after wave of insect pests ~
From them a crown you must wrest
Sometimes we stare
Into the eyes
Of oncoming cars
Merely for the thrill of it,
To pretend as they do in stories
That the good hero darts away
Just in time,
While the evil villain is crushed
Beneath the vehicle, blood on his lips.
We wait
Until the last possible moment
Pulling back
To understand
Which role we play.
Baby Duck Testing Boundaries – Not A Swan
If I Could Choose My
Superpower, “Oh
Genie Of The 1001
Lamps… All Lamp Lights…”
It Would Be
Non-Conformity…
Perspectives Are
Hidden Everywhere,
Many Still Absolutely
Unique.
And Because It’s
An Actual Power,
Nobody Can Say:
“He's One Of Those,
Or He's One Of These..
We Know That Kind,
Make Sure It's Fixed…”
Because It Is SUPER!
No Need To Fix.
If This Sounds Familiar
To You, Well Then:
“Oops.”
Guess I’ll
Keep At It Then,
Quack.

1946 United States authorities
chose to exercise freedom of choice
and forcibly relocated 167 Marshall islanders
King Juda he agreed as their voice
from Bikini Atoll east to Rongerik
a small island which adequate resources lacked
with the promise they would return
so much for the U.S. Right of Freedom Act
and with little regard to radiation or fallout
the beautiful coral lagoon's sad fate
was a nuclear weapon testing site
twenty-three tests in all 'til 1958
but scientists miscalculated
a dry-fuel thermonuclear bomb they blew
The limericks that herein you meet
Were tested for pressure and heat.
Confirmed for all nozzles,
And yet, if one wozzles,
Return, if you kept the receipt.
I should have listened to my nieces,
they said it would fall into pieces,
when the temperature decreases.
Then all those dirty rats and meeses,
will crawl in through the cracks and creases,
and its effectiveness then ceases.
Forget cognitive testing
How about a basic economics test
to separate responsible Congressional
and Presidential candidates from the rest
Testing the water --- such is wisdom feat
as lad prepares toward Olympic fleet
yet knows that he's not a fool
to bathe in cool swimming pool
since hygienic concerns he first must beat.
Maybe we are not sure of god,
but what I believe in,
is that life is a test.
Which we all need to overcome and face in situations, what we do not expected.
It leaves us sometimes with scare, hurt, loved or obsessed.
With scream or tear.
But after every drip our soul let's out,
there is always a window found.
Which we can open up wide,
and see our dads survive.
In such a landslide,
full of fencekinds,
and that's alright,
since there is a might,
seeing the words of time.
Even we feeling deadly, it is perfectly shaped for
our heart,
so one day,
we will se the winning card.
I took a personality test, it caught fire on question 17.

I should stop dipping my toes into the water,
but it's warm today.
Nobody could have guessed it.
Nothing of a shocking feeling that I'll have to spend a moment to get used to...
Nothing of a tiny pinch from a cause that I can't see -
The water is warm,
The water loves me,
The water knows who I am,
and it asks me to stay.
I would have never known my fortunate fate
if I didn't dip my toes in the water today,
and so tomorrow, I'll dip again, expecting the same, kind hello,
and there I will feel my feet hesitate and jump
at the cold, numbing "goodbye".
