APPALLED
How I wish that I was right rye-balled drunk, pissed, whatever it is now called the freedom, oh the joy makes for one happy boy but I'm dragged out for shopped, I'm 'malled' .... Alan ·······  ······· |

Mall Moods
I’d much rather be mauled than be “malled” So I get what I want or recalled Of the list from my mate. I need not expiate For my errands, done wrong, have now stalled. When one must, to keep peace, go and shop For a wife or girlfriend who won’t stop Bring a flask, filled complete With a single malt; neat. Mood adjustment until the last drop! ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

I should rather just lounge in a pool --
not of blood, slimy mucus or drool -- but of crystal-clear water when the weather is hotter and grandkids vacation from school. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

COME AND GET IT !
When grandchildren vacation from school is the time to find drool in the pool which, when missing the L leads to all sorts of hell over which scads of bugs will just drool Alan ······· ······· |

My dear Alan...
Evidently your grandkids have been raised more freely that those who're my kin, so I hope that your nets are prepared; poo begets quite a mess and a lot of chagrin.

I would not care to address the "L" or lack thereof so shall meander off in another direction.
When you lounge in the pool on hot days With blue water reflecting the rays You need slimy white gunk Covering face and trunk And legs too so you won’t be ablaze and one which developed from an old joke: Once a lass of Teutonic descent Had one leg shorter to the extent That when she had to scale A small hill, she did well To walk counter-clockwise for ascent ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Dear Larry,
I'm afraid I cannot let you get away with mis-assigning the nationality of the most famous odd-length-legged creature in all of God's creation : The haggis is a verra peculiar creature with one notable, irregular feature It's right legs are shorter it can only be caught - err, counter-clockwise, by a sporran-wearing preacher Alan ······· ······· |

Alan, I've never heard of such a creature. Besides, the Lass in question had a shorter left leg.
What a creature! Is there such a beast who must start walking West to go East. If its mind it should change Could its route rearrange So that chance of arrival increased? I think the preacher may have been in his cups while chasing this creature. It seems strange to me that Haggis had Any legs, lest the Scotsman went mad When he chopped entrails in To a round sausage skin, Cooked within a stomach that went Baaaaaa-ad ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Just a few? There is "No Going Back"!
Unless you would consider a track From a song of light rock By Coppin with Acock. Not much talent but they had the knack. and furthermore... Though I thought I had steered us away From the excrement and "P" display Steve went back, "just a few" Brought up pee but not poo "P", "C", "T", "L" with diphthong. "O" kay? ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

I can see by the dim dashboard lights
The term “mild rock” has two aural plights; There’s no rock! It‘s fiction… And a contradiction.

KASUM v. MUSAK
A theory that has really been proved is for people who've never been "grooved" Musak is balm for the ears of those tone-deaf, who've no fears of responding, or even being moved .... Alan ······· ······· |
