Then out with little little Richard we go [Click to View YouTube Video]
Can not seem to get the "What Song " thread to stay open it shuts off before I can load
The songs
Oh well
Thanx for that mfm, she & I made an adorable couple! She as 4'10'"& I, 5'1"
She cleaned house and I sold 'em,
she broke me
I love hard when I do . . . . . and for five or ten years could and did call.
It's the hardest thing to now not have anything to say to each other,
so much water over that dam . . . . . Damm!
I've a picture somewhere?
Not that I need it
I can close my eyes and see her as we were 30 year's ago about!
If it takes and you could say her name out loud! Her last name was K, O, N C Z a soft 'C'
So Konzz ~ MARGUERITE KONCZ ~ a sweet hart victim of circumstances & clinging to
This rollercoaster of life with both hands it's a white knuckle ride.
All of the music helps
the other women is Charlet a tuff nut hardest women to get along with of any of the wife's good friends but also by phone our closest.
I know a Debbie downer but it is what it is
The great and the nobodies passing with such regularity
Ya get numb to it really
Fight fight fight
Fight fiercely . . .
Oow!?

Open 24/7.

"I'm just a businessman."--in$ane
I'm just a retired investor living on a pension.
I was asked by the president about some matters of foreign economics and domestic finance.
That is all I can tell you.
The president mentioned nothing about my being Semite-retired during our conversation.
Thank you, I have a plane to catch.

Rarified Air
Is this when life begins?
The air is cleaner and crisper afterwards
The world more beautiful
This sustenance
The sky more blue
The mountains more majestic
Life more precious
Everything more vital and vigorous
This is what it feels like
I'll take the pain of age and injury
For another glorious moment
Living, breathing, that's my argument
This day until my last
Pulling air into this chest
I live for all those moments
Remembered or anticipated
The tall grass clinging to my feet
The world in mud and stone
The aquifer of forgiveness
Until it can no more

BIG BLOW THROUGH.
a big oak snapped and did its best not to wipe out a neighbor's nest
stranger was the twist that as it came down
on the back deck of the house it has made a huge mess.
No try has been made
Recall that maybe
THERE is a land lord
don't own? If they rent
Oh' the Payton place of it all
the immediate neighbors
the next door kind
The stooge of a guy had been "step'in' out
on his preggars wife with the single chick who bought from
My friend Joe
who lives three streets over and down a big hill.
His wife and the church had made a deal
to hold the house for some needy folk
Then, as the years pass, Joes wife died. . .
Eh shjt happens, even to the Churchly
Karma so a biotch
So it was the late 'Otz, and home prices were falling monthly.
I told Joe he had to get out?
Heathen of me I know but widower Joe continually thnx me
Time to make the dohnutz. . .m.m.m doh

With Zen You Get Eggroll and Kime
Though it never sustained like granola
I once longed for the cannabis aroma
Forfeiting all finances for strains the most potent
I no longer imbibe or remain a proponent
Having once had a love for the pungent
Now in leu of such vices
I'll smoke milder spices
While slathering my chips in my favorite unguent

It was for serious a question that my wife claimed she neve -re saw as a metaphor !

But , Brother of Stone, let me have judicious use of that central word of your moniker , please?Thrown hat , oops drifted from that half cut n paste
I'm Sorry to U all, about that, but I'm thinking " taffy pulls as a sustain act in search of adventure. . "Too ,mas we'll a climb friendly, mnt reference in place of pyrotechnic display . . .

Optimizing Cetacean Strategies
When Flemish whales stray
Swimming upstream the swamp
And their three mile long tongues
Are touching your feet
As you lie there sleeping
They probably are thinking
That they would prefer something
Less stinky to eat

For Today, Walking Upright
Wordplay on Saturdays
Sunny days that come our way
Mountain roads and dry trails
Wet dogs with thumping tails
Scrabble on a picnic table
Clear eyes and free cable
Fine cheeses with sourdough
Welcoming old friends we know
Sleeping in and waking up
Losing those hiccups
Movies and Milkduds
Tall grass and drying mud
Living moments remembered
Until late one September
I'm reminded of someone gone
I honor them and then move on
To days like today
Wouldn't have it any other way
Glad to be living
With thanks to be giving
To god or the universe
For times better or some worse
I'll take days like these
With sore joints and allergies
And thoughts of my loved ones
Playing kids out having fun
With bike rides and clear skies
From here until my demise
Walking and upright
At dawn in the morning light

LIKE THE MENU AT AN 'OLE CHINESE RESTAURANT
As I went to read the daily SKEE
I found my weep
And retreat to art gallery of mfm's soul
In the words of the long winded,,
Who is so smart but can will not see.
Will not be made to see
Yearly kneeling ?
Yet with bad back 'nd sore knees
How can it be?
Sad, just a'sad - reelee.
Along the road
Add on infenitem
Adonisis passing
Adonifinitem . .. ... Ad Infinitum
A. long road and b'night em
Adiéu Adonifenightem
Some get given
Most have it taken away
Then I saw the A5 guy is still playin'
I've not acted it in yet,
Packed it in. . .
Not Yet
So klosed so far away from needing a porta-ledge
Only spent on a day . . . a'ridin' one
Could not see
We heard it you don't forget the walls reverberate
That whirling sound . . . A thumping , and the arise of a lump
In the communal throat.
Some
Somewhere else
Some one had gone down?
We three a stride the ride
Could under our own power
Go down.
If you had said, like I heard in my head that this was to be the best shot
Would we be dead
or
have got
To the top
Only to back slide into death?
Or fall not slip-slide slabs
They'd be iced
to die in exposed but heavenly environs?

Hmm. . . . . Fritz, was rad, it was a time when brothers , uncles family's' best friends neighbor's sons and uncles were dying .
I wonder if he was so ernest, from a view of the tragedy of viêt Nam?
Maybe of some one in his early life's service greatly effected his willingness. . . .
WAIT ??? Campari bulzzite! Ding-gishd third snack of the day? Reals? There are a few steep skiers (or ten) you should read up on.

And did so every chance
Until I fell into[Click to View YouTube Video] the bottom of the lake
Sunk my boat in the marina, off the moorings
Thinking, about fake rubber lures the bright sparkly translucent ones

Which reminds me that I've not heard back from LostInShanghai.
See how that works?
Clinically,
Mental tag for the aging,
Simple. Effective.
I listen & wait
Then put my thought on paper
Creating haiku.
See how easy and effortless it all is?
Writing "Taking apart another's photo and 'finding' something else in it is like writing a screenplay based on a previously-written work," would be unworthy of me, the host of the Quiz Show About Fingers.
But if I was to write, "Tha's coolio, Gnome. I'm all tongue-tied & complimented here," then that would be like over-doing it, making it sound like an acceptance speech.
Abby Washington's Advice and Cheese Shop Grand Opening Today.

Beer Abby, I'm flabby,
I can't seem to eat,
I spend all day long on my hands and my feet
5.10 any longer brings on sure defeat
I'm listless and useless
I can no longer send,
What should I do,
My wise & hip friend?

The Lion Mouse from Merced
Though I'm not one to usually name names
But a poet resides here, right here on the Flames
He authors this thread
He's the Mouse from Merced
And I dare say it's a fine job he does at the reins
His abode's a hotel room and not quite a house
And he rarely if ever has been known to grouse
He is most diplomatic
Of that I'm emphatic
Once conferred Royal Order of the Lion Mouse
So yesterday I noticed he hasn't been here
He posts here quite often of that I am clear
His last post was two days ago
And I thought someone ought to know
So I hope he's been well and is just lurking near
Well in any event I was wondering and thought
He deserved of our mention, he's the best that we've got
Serving up soup du jour
On this magical mystery tour
So I hope that he hasn't been put on the spot
Though I'm not one to usually name names
But a poet posts here, right here on the Flames
He authors this thread
He's the Mouse from Merced
And I dare say it's a fine job he does at the reins
