When unfortunates look for a date
while on line, they’re apt to find a spate of folks who lie and cheat because they can’t compete face to face which they’ll expropriate. ······· ·······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.

If she’s eating their hash, it returns
to esophageal gas as it burns from her neck to her bottom; take some tums if she’s got ‘em but her actions still raise your concerns. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

If she’s welcomed back to the asylum
as a nut then I wonder what phylum or what species of tree she fell from but I’ll see if she’s chasing the terns just to rile ‘em. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Thanks, Syl! Great to know that someone else is reading our irreverence!
