he French Debate in English
The program was about the power of alternative media such as X and Facebook
A woman from the EU said those programs
Can be banned, by the stroke of a pen
What arrogance, to ban people of Europe not
To see what the alternative media say
Be practicing censorship
The EU is after Elon Musk for what was considered an interference in the upcoming
German election of AtD.
It is what the voters in Germany like to vote for
EU wants to stop voices they dislike, which is tantamount to dictatorship

They would put their foot Into everything,
why not open your mouth and I'll give you a ping;
government is ousted, maybe freedom is related,
first time I kissed, I found all this hype was overrated.
L'amour for sure, I'm going on the guided tour,
I had an Eiffel but they just closed the door,
Sacre Coeur was a blur, I was clamouring for more,
Notre Dame burnt down but I still went, what for?
Montmartre licked me in the rain, a nice fountain,
your lips pouted, abnormal but became same again;
prefer to stay on the outside, just an english kiss,
but when you're offered an opening, too good to miss.
Al this writhing activity left me feeling rather weak,
but there was no need to worry, it was tongue in cheek.

The red clay’s staining all the socks,
But Rafa’s aren’t there
And yet, his fourteen titles
Still remain beyond compare.
Most years he gets to celebrate
His birthday at the French.
Today, though, he’s not on the court
Or even on the bench.
Perhaps his little surgery
Will fix him up like new
So all his fans (like me!) can watch
Him do what he can do.
To Rafael Nadal, I wish
A happy birthday day
And a quick recovery so you
Can get back out and play.

Whose little thing needed a booster
Around about ten
Along came an hen
And that cocky bird up and goosed her!

In your kiss a sensation
the ardour of elegance,
the spiral of love that feels so right.
Only from the sweetest grape
comes the flavour of the finest wine,
your love with mine straight from the vine.

gathering her long dress in both hands,
she ran across her father’s green fields,
to the shore lines and its golden sands,
to his warm embrace, kisses she yields.
that moment of young love, his warm kiss,
restored her faith in life gone amiss,
hardships of home with a drunken dad,
and loss of loving mum she once had.
her hurried foot prints through trampled grass,
spoke of eagerness of this young lass,
to meet the person who breathed her joy,
her face pink with happiness, some coy.
he waited there in his checkered shirt,
smile on face, shoes without speck of dirt,
caught her as she jumped into his arms,
covered her face with kisses in swarm!
setting Sun paid tribute to their love,
crimson rays going golden above,
swirl of evening breeze from spring meadow,
as the two locked their lips and shadows!
a kiss is synchrony of two hearts,
when souls yearn and cannot be apart,
in that love moment, Anna bloomed again,
away from past, life she would regain!

ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS
A nna tasted French kiss of her sweetheart
Boiling emotions, the guy to eXert.
Bubbling blood in flood flow surging fast.
Dormant dreamy thirsty desires she drank
Into abyss of sea of love, both sank.
French kiss to get topmost rank, to be frank.
Ecstatic whelming touch of tongue to tongue
Volcanic passion was fierce fully flung.
Ardent ardor of amour to be sung.

While tending to her pumpkin patch,
Chariot the dragon came across two folk in the midst of a kiss.
"Please mind your movements as my eggs will hatch,
You need to be cautious within your bliss."
Anna paused from her brief romance,
Embarrassed as to how she engaged.
"I'm sorry as this is not France,
It's just that I've been lonely for many days."
"I'm Hellboy and I respect the law,
Dear dragon you intruded my love!"
With that the skirmish turned into a brawl,
And the Right Hand of Doom punched like a glove!!!
It seems like everyone had a lot to say,
With dances of various fashions all within one day!

Time is fleeting when love's guise becomes sweet
When eyes bow before beauty's silent pose
To feel the soul emerge and not retreat
With such fragrant scent from a lover's rose
When hands clasp so tender a blushing face
To search quiet realms of expectation
And kiss in dim-light from a candle's trace
And reveal ecstasy's exaltation
With a breathless pause as lips are unbound
Where eyes again will lift their eyelids slow
And share breath's softest sighs of welcomed sound
When passionate tongues give gifts they bestow
To feel palms grow warmer as they perspire
When lips are kissed from surrender's desire

Innocence - a peck
on the cheek and holding hands.
Dressed in Mayberry white,
snow pearl in France,
Anna stands out at the Eiffel tower.
At first tongue, oh the tangle
embrace. Anna’s falling for
a Parisian accent; as a poet says
Where should it be placed?
Oui! Oui! He has a golden tongue.
She’s falling for his charm.
Innocence- a peck
on the cheek and holding hands.
Marcel holds her hand. Marcel
pecks her cheek. Marcel, her first
love. Starry-eyed as he makes
for her lips. Sexy comes unaccented.
She’s meant to be kissed.
He parts her lips with gentleness;
with the reverence of a rolling “r,”
she’s frenched. Her knees lose
their grip. Woozy with electric stars,
Anna lights up the lady of iron.*

She’d kissed a lot of boys, and some kissed great,
but few of those guys understood romance.
She thought she knew what kissing style was best,
but she had not yet met the boy from France!
Into her life one day he sauntered in.
His smile was soft, his eyes as dark as coal.
She thrilled to feel his fingers on her skin
as with his gaze he deeply plumbed her soul.
When their lips touched, she melted into him.
It was a kiss like none she’d known before.
With happiness she filled up to the brim.
The young man was so easy to adore!
Like things most precious, that smooth, tender kiss
was part of Anna’s youth – a fleeting bliss.

Ana's lips were cunning
as a linguist she knew
how to twist them
and elocution lessons
had done her tongue
a lot of flexible good
smooth and passionate
she explored his mouth
labial passion play
pleasured unknown depth
crescendo culmination
unspeakable joy
the intimate sensation
spread through her body
an intimate mind
caught fire and seized
reason with emotions
she was a writer
but some feelings
cannot be expressed
with mere words
on eloquent thought
further aroused
ink well and nib
happily mingling
she knew that he was a poet
and she the receptacle
of pure poetry in motion
