The fact that 'e so seldom misses

Doin’ dishes is what he desires
‘cause old age has extinguished the fires. Once a stud in the sack, now it just hurts his back; servicing nymphomania tires. ······· ·······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 you have nymphomaniac tires
please be careful at night what transpires; they will try to get studs just to feel the thud-thuds. You simply can't meet their desires. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

You can’t meat their desires? Who would try
to undo their steel belts and then ply them with gold chains and such; you’ll be caught in their clutch and just limp where you tred ‘till you die. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

If you limp like a blimp from your nympho
you’re liable to end in a hoosegow where your gold chain and clutch will not matter too much except if your cellmate's a Jane Doe. ······· ······· |

He believes that the past is the Way to get closer to God? Was that his Esplanade that they stopped on the Ocean Highway? ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

On the Ocean Highway was a stop
with a sign by a stony outcrop touting views of sunset and a nudist beach fete but the pulchritude was a flop ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Why was comeliness such a great flop?
It's 'cause go-liness opted to shop for a surety deal and a long date-night meal with a polit-correctlessness cop. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

A cop Ness was correct, less polite,
when the mob thought that he wouldn’t fight their corruption. Of course he just used more blunt force and left quite a few dead just for spite. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

is that MM fades into the night when each member abstains from submitting refrains.

Now now boys. I'm here,
 !"Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, man?!"  is right!! I've been on a MAJOR project at work since last November which has taken up all of my time (even off hours). The good news is that the "product" is going live on October 8th and then I'll be more visible here and in my novel writing projects. We're finally going to offer installment billing (the Bose Payment Plan) in all our US retail store locations. I am the lead for all the payment plans at Bose representing my group, Customer Operations, and with a core team, it has been a HUGE undertaking, getting 6 different systems to mingle and play nice along with so many industry regulations for legal and credit card compliance factors thrown in there too!!  This has been percolating for 6 years on and off. In addition to my own sci-fi/fantasy novel you've heard about since forever (July 2008, lol), I am also collaborating with another Bose peer who is a published novelist on a fiction/suspense novel. I am also assisting with 2 of his 'tween novels in the works, both in an editing capacity and as a critiquer. So, things are BUSY after hours, lol and at lunch time.  I should be along soon but am on vacation this week preparing to put my grandmother's house up for sale, since her passing last month. It's a LOT of hard work as it has deteriorated over the years. Talk soon! Lori

Hi Lori,
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. My condolences. Larry Looks like MM won't fade in the night Lori said she'll be back to this site. Soon as Bose hits the street and her Sci-Fi's complete; "Hope both sales figures fly like a kite!" ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

walking down cobwebbed hallways with me for the paucity here makes me leery. I fear it will take more than two.
