only teach A, not B
only the Y, not the X...

the present body,
not the fleeing soul...

Bean and Rice,

human food ...
Nowadays the
actually stylish
eat ice cream
of gold...!
One is little, two is well
three is too much "
Nothing:
3 castles, 3 yachts, 3 farms
3 billion, is much finer than
3 pierced tents, 3 pirogues,
3 shallow pits and 3 dollars ...
There's no comparison ...!
"Whoever runs, tires, walks
and reaches"
I doubt anyone will reach
USAIN BOLT walking in
a 100 m race...
ETHYLIC LOVE
Our idyllic love:
I am lovely cachaça,
you just champagne ...
ethanol ...!
CRY A RIVER
Yesterday for you i cried,
a whole river i spilled ..,
Today, neither ...
I do not care...
AI, AI ,,,
If you suffer my pain,
double there ...
woe to us ...
TO LIVE
If you live or
if you saw me ...
In the sixties
Wow...
I woke up this morning with hair spiking
With a comb I tried to comb it down
It was so frustrating and not very striking
With odd looking expressions I felt like a clown
So today I sat down on my chair
This will be the time of day
With gel in my hand I declare
I will put my hair down if it will stay
I was joking to myself so fluster I was
My hair did not stay down instead
The gel so sticky I stop because
I was in a panic I almost had tear shed
This morning I felt so confused
Even my cloths did not match
I almost blew my fuse
Because today I hit a patch
I finally got my hair to stay down in a way
With a smile I put a hat this will be O.K.
Fluster with Humor (3-29-13)

History With Humor
Clerihew might follow you.
And bring names fame without adieu.
Whether views from ancient times
Or in the news as modern lines
Famous people must beware.
Paparazzi roam everywhere.
Private lives are set on hold.
When fame has molded lives of gold.
Clerihew poets write words down.
Famous people in humor are found.
Unfolding historical laughter.
And snickers happily ever after.
