falling out of love with Thomas Payne

consider

the sweet honey

dripping like venom

from your lips

and you wonder I feel hurt?

Yes I feel petty

belittled

and ashamed.

I hate falling out of love.

Am I really so flighty?

So damn paltry?

But it hardly matters,

I know how I feel.

Oh America

horny tumult of ideas

sexy mass

you bitch

you have turned

you have changed

you have betrayed me

like a scatter of dry leaves

my dreams

have been picked up

and blown away.

bitch!

the truth indivisible:

the treasons of the patriots:

no man can own another

and no generation can own the next

I should forgive

kiss and make up

watch my TV, forget the row

but I am hurt

and petty

you said liberty is never granted

only earned

and you were right

Do you have any idea how much I have missed you?

it's very hard to believe that this man spent so much time in a French prison and suffered so much for what he had the courage to denounce

whoa-- is this a declaration of love or what, Sandy?

love blooms on Gather in the most secret places, little mousie

which reminds me of the verse of Robert Burns-- do you have it? the one to the little mouse? it's so lovely.

Absolutely, Mary. I adore, Jim. (Fortunately, his wonderful, understanding wife allows me to adore him through a screen on the other side of the world)

Hello again all,
sorry to introduce myself again with such an angry little diatribe but that's what spilled out today
Hiya Sandy - I'm impressed - you guys are realling sticking it to the powers of darkness and naughtiness these last few days - one minute I hate your country, the next I/m blown away. Just goes to show you can't believe everthing they say on FOX.

PS I saw some really cold weather over in your parts on the tele last night - could you send a little down here? I was out at the harbour de-nutting coconut palms all day today and it must have been well over a tun all day!

PPS Whatever happened to "The Yes Man"?

My God!! I just noticed the time (having forgotten for a moment that the world is round and you is on the other side.)
Go to bed!! Anything looks good at three thirtyish.
I'm off to have my din-dins
Thanks for the link Mary - has been noted and will be visited when I have a full tum
