adventurer cat said, “Please call me Jules Vern.”
as excited and alive as a grown Easter fern.
we watched in amazement as she traveled like a queen.
through the fresh summer sea waves, never again to be seen.
Is Death Terminal
(That would depend entirely upon what the meaning of the word is, is.]
By: Tom Wright
8/18/00
At best,
life is terminal.
So why hurry it along?
(Isn't terminal an end?)
I said, Is terminal,
not, a terminal.
(Which is a place
where people depart and arrive.)
All things being equal,
Then life,
would be the vehicle to an end a terminal,
making life, a Taxi, and not an Airport.
[some have seen a correlation]
This would leave the terminal Airport
to be Hades,
and this page needing dirt terminal.
Know what I mean Vern?
Is that your final answer?
Come & talk to me come & walk with me let's leave the deceit & egos behind for a second I think thats what's blocking our reckoning
I'll start by owning my part I didn't cherish your heart like I promised that I would I was more preoccupied with my image in the hood
I would go out for hours almost days & when you called I'd always bang play light skin coy I would laugh to myself & say let ya nuts hang boy
So I admit I was a dastardly fool wrapped in the finest garments to maintain my cool
I know I pushed you too far away from where we were I was out every other night behind enemy lines knocking them down like Steve Kerr
The girls name on the mirror the magnum wrappers in the room when the girl described my house it all spelled doom
Guilty as charged but let me plead my case you were perfect but against myself I was in a race I got insecure & had to out do the magnificent things I did yesterday you are the only one I truly loved the rest were definitely throwaway
I think I gave some gossip for Vern a lesson to be learned the fire still burns now it's your turn

Especially in snow or sun. As yet a vehicular version of a pavement has yet to be classed as a g curve.

Vern
Is
One of
My favored
Season of the year
But the sneezing and itching from
The pollen, mold and weed that blow in the atmosphere
Cause to take antihistaminic and use a box of facial napkins in a day

I find nothing wrong with being educated--
As long as one's education doesn't exceed one's intelligence.
Ya know what I mean Vern?
It's like putting two friendly cats in a sack,
shaking it up and dumping them out.
Each will claw and scratch to get ahead,
as they hit the ground running.
Kind of puts me in mind of life.
Everyone strives for some competitive advantage.
For some, It's formal education,
It's one thing to have it--still another to use it.
But never consider yourself the better person simply because of it.
When you make this mistake,
you have surrendered your competitive advantage
to the person who's diploma reads
School Of Hard Knocks.
