Roses are red
Violets are blue
Shut your fucking piehole
Get on your goddamn bike
And go get me some beer

1. Don't sell yourself short, you're a tremendous slouch.
Now pass me one of those cannolis.

3. That mentions beer!
A comment I make often.

I am not going to do what I am told I could do to get beer. Instead I choose to allow the other methods for me to get beer to occur.

I could walk down and get beer, I could steal beer, I could even do like many others do to get beer. However since I am already owed beer, it would be crazy to repeat the same thing expecting it to have a different effect.

So someone will send me cash to have financial security, or I will not have beer. And until then, I will do as I choose, and enjoy some of the great post here and elsewhere.

:shrug:

People have choices :)

9. If you do not understand it, either you don't have to.
Or you have not seen what I am talking about. If you have not seen it, the ramifications are on those that have blocked you from seeing it, if you are suppose to understand it.

11. Your repeating yourself expecting different results.
Edited on Mon Jul-12-10 09:39 PM by RandomThoughts
I already mentioned that concept is not the best way to do things.


Note: this post is a different result

If you do not see it, then many will pay severely for that. It is possible that 100s of my posts that tell stories that are pretty good, are censored. But even if that is the case, it just gives me moral authority to obliterate those censors.

Although it is possible you see the post, and are doing the same thing as mentioned in another post, where it is meant to give the idea that posts are censored. In that case such obliteration would not happen for that reason, although that case would have issues of deception in it.

26. That might explain why you do not understand words.
You might be starting to form a pattern, and give understanding to what is limiting you.

It is possible it is an education issue, not a blockage issue with you. So try to pay attention and listen a bit, and you will figure it out if that is the case.


Note that I use your post often for measuring things and seeing where some groups are in there thoughts, so keep posting either way.

28. Three themes in that post.
Why do you drink out of a toilet?

I like clear river water best.

30. The problem with this conversation is you are begining
To define what things mean in your comments, and by responding to those comments, I would have to go into a long post about what you think something means. And how it can create an impression.

But by picking the toilet label, that would require much redefining, so best to say, while you and your dog drink from toilets, many other people do not drink from toilets, nor do the animals that share their households.

15. I think he's saying he wouldn't ride his bike to get beer...
he could walk, steal it or sell his body to get it. But, someone owes him some beer so he's not gonna buy beer until someone pays him for the beer they owe him.

I think anyway. I could be wrong.

19. Yea thats close.
Edited on Mon Jul-12-10 10:05 PM by RandomThoughts
Basically not going to chase the carrot, nor worry about what people think of as a game, why worry.

I was freed from rule sets when I followed the rules and people that set them changed them for there own reasons without justification, or did not apply them equally.

So I do not have a rule set that binds me, except what I choose to do and not do.


Although that is a form of a rule set, I can and have chosen at times to do low, and sometimes to do high, which also affirms that concept.

I do agree with having rule sets, and hope they are reestablished, but part of reestablishing them is a payout to me, although the bigger part of it is moving to a more just and compassionate society.

32. I should say I don't think I am above the law
Edited on Mon Jul-12-10 11:07 PM by RandomThoughts
I think the law was turned into anarchy by lack of enforcement and lack of equal justice.

So actually that is why nobody is following laws and why there is so much corruption.


There are some laws that are bad, but in a just society they get removed, in an unjust society they can actually get worse.

33. Your use of enjambment allows the poem to flow without pauses...
except for the space between your first and second stanza.

You eschew rhyme and thereby catch the cadence of normal speech. Your use of Dumb Ass breaks away from the overused "bitch" that often follows such a statement.

Note: I've just begun my seventh week of a Masters Seminar in Contemporary poetry.
