How long did it take you to get that ugly? You must have practised for years And the way you have built on contusions Must have driven you close to tears Did your mother recoil in horror At your birth you'd have been such a sight Or did your birth cause a power failure To stop the patients leaving in fright Did your discovery of adding scar tissue To a face that was already marred Add to the prominent theory That scrapes beautify those who are scarred Did you study that train timetable? Through droughts and flooding rains To work out how to be perfectly dense When walking into goods trains You have a weathered appearance Though the weather looked like it was hail You may have been hit with and ugly stick But it beats being wan and pale. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown [This message has been edited by Kethry (edited 12-02-2001).] |

Darling sister of my soul, There you see, now everyone knows what you say to me when we are together. She does you know, I'm battered and bruised with the words she flings at me As always darling girl tis wonderful but you know that, now party on dear heart and I'll phone you later. (yes well 'tis your birthday so I'll let you fling some more insults my way) as always Slushy   (yes I know that you know this is all utter nonsense and that I don't mean a word of it, except that this is wonderful of course.  )To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Thanks to everyone, I just wanted to prove that like the proverbial bad penny...I always show up, or maybe that should be that the murderer returns to the scene of the crime, and I certainly murdered poetry and took rhyme to a new low with my posting on this site. mostly I just wanted to show that I do have a lighter side...occasionally  Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.
