Hygiene costs smooth rooms,

electricity and a --


lot of loneliness.
Verhaal "Opgegeild" (Story "Turned on", 1991, Kristien Hemmerechts)

Midriff burning sensation,
Exactly as if it will explode,
Nocturnal timings help,
Stark daylight is undesirable,
Troublesome five days,
Ripe burning inside the temple of life,
Under the wicked sky,
Awry is the cup for collection,
Lopsided is its construction.

Cusping the proof of life,
Unfailing burning sensation,
Pouting by the end of a month.
Phlegethon is a stream of fire or fiery light.

For once I was lost

When I was searching me
I found you
For once I followed my eyes
It led towards you
For once I followed my heart
It led towards you
For once I followed my soul
It led towards you
For once I was lost
No way out
And followed the light
There you were
All the times

The truth of you
Genre: Almost Romantic
Theme: If this is not love, why do I feel that way?

Napoleon Bonaparte
1769 Corsica is where he got his start
One of the greatest commanders in history
His manner of death a 200-year-old mystery

Napoleon played it close to the vest
With his armies he was always the best
But 'twas nothing he could do
When he met his Waterloo
Lived his last few years under house arrest

Napoleon drank the water and headed for the loo
He did nothing different than you or I could ever do
Be kind to your skin and protect your bone-a-parts
Remember that's where good hygiene starts!

be more thorough
with your dental hygiene
lest the breath
behind the breath
get out
and things become veterinary
must have brushed teeth

Henry VIII was a deluded monarch,
he could never have ruled the Earth,
for he hasn't seen his **** for years,
hiding beneath the bulk of his girth.

And wobbling onto the battle field
is not the behaviour fit for a King,
he would have to sit nursing his cysts
and hoping the ointments don't sting.

His eating excess was cause for concern
but his syphilis remained largely unseen,
and one really has to feel so sorry for
whomever it is that is currently Queen.

His penchant for young and younger Ladies
made him a stranger to baths and soap,
and his bed hopping antics to sire a son
bought him much trouble from the pope.
