subtle pulsating space,
get your finger out of my face,
shimmering dimness and the light in between,
he appeared quickly but did not go fast
I knew too well a spell had fell,
Putin I'm not disputin', Trump I got over the hump of you,
Musk you have an elephant's tusk, red headed triplets need
never to despair, well I ain't mentionin' the other that was
in the room out of thin air. He was always too small to make a call.
Tiny bubbles os pain, wishing instead it were champagne.
Did I really go crazy? High and lows together or birds of a feather flock together? Well, we are all the same.
Victorian society ways that go back to the cave. There is more than one way to skin a cat ..
where cats are bigger and I never would've gotten called a
...
All roads they say lead to Rome
But this one was leading towards home
A fiery storm brewing in fractions
Ripples surge to thirstily kiss the river’s mouth for reactions
The hubbub silenced with an inner raspy roar!
This scenic drive, a famished lovers’ galore
Latched securely and songful on the mountainous terrain
Forecast for the voyage; torrential romantic rain
There is more than one way, they say, to skin a cat
Specials for today- heartfelt cuddles, sheltered pecks, fragrant whispers and that tender pat.
The savouring of the pulpy gourmets roots the rhythm of lub-dub towards abrupt
So much balminess in the ‘Beautiful’ carriage; hearts are bound to erupt!
The night skies start to blanket over, home now, not so far
The hero of my movie; that gracefully-embroidered sweet red star
With the age of days in delight I would pose
And each time my pinning eyes would grace my pretty little red rose...
No matter who,
No matter where,
No matter when,
It only matters why and what for.

Yesterday was early,
Tomorrow will be late,
Today I have no time.

You can’t train in a gym?
You want to look young and slim?
Stay close to the old ones and fat.
There are many ways to skin a cat.

Sometimes I think:
Here is my happiness.
But after a drink for two
I see that it’s just another experience.

I am allergic to Scotch.
When I drink a lot of it
My tongue begins to itch.
***
I am on the seventh heaven!
I am here a baron!
Don’t place a ladder
If you don’t want to be a scrapper!
I will never go down
As I don’t want to be a clown!

SMS from someone’s wife:
Went to the place you’ve sent,
I understand what you’ve meant.
Behave here like a whore and ask myself:
Why didn’t I listen to you before?
***
A good thought means a lot.
It’s ****** of the brain
Which you have to train.
If you experience it
You’ll get fun.
Others who imitate it
Just get a mock sun.

When we were young,
When we were young,
Lovely nonsense was on the tongue.
