Star Wars Celebration 2015
Do the flowers mourn when one is picked? I know that question is kinda morbid and sick. But I’ve always wondered if they somehow know, Like for weddings and birthdays that it’s their time to go? Do they feel sorry for lovestruck dames, That pull off petals whilst saying their crushes’ names, That pulled the last petal on “He loves me not”? Do they feel bad that she’s distraught? Do they compete on who’s the prettiest? Each person has an opinion of which flower is the best, Of their looks are they actually aware, Do flowers even care?

Do Flowers Mourn
Some say I entertain But I write to maintain My own **** down my own lane You want **** go ask mane Maybe I ask for fame Probably go for the money and dames Go on rari's and cadi's instead of trains Or atleast go lit over all my mains (If I had some) Everybody I know now they stains One thing to another so quick they been prayin For justice, to be loved, some **** they all be sayin Maybe y'all expect me to be slayin But nah I am payin Taxes and rent I owe From this person I been fakin Maybe now I'm on a low Started off high but **** happens you know Like riding  a car and you get stopped to tow Maybe I look worse, dusty like I came from the dough Or ***** as **** like my other boys' fro But for real tho No roast no show Maybe I need this to grow Harsh when you on your own on the road I'm seeing **** too early hoppin like a toad Like seeing a video on youtube and it forgot to load Probably changed so much I am hard to decode May be considered weird but I guess that's my mode So I don't write to entertain I don't want all that fame **** the world now I love the train But I write to explain. One's mind trying to be sane

Original French Dictes moy ou, n'en quel pays, Est Flora la belle Rommaine, Archipiades ne Thaïs, Qui fut sa cousine germaine, Echo parlant quant bruyt on maine Dessus riviere ou sus estan, Qui beaulté ot trop plus q'humaine. Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan? Ou est la tres sage Helloïs, Pour qui chastré fut et puis moyne Pierre Esbaillart a Saint Denis? Pour son amour ot ceste essoyne. Semblablement, ou est la royne Qui commanda que Buridan Fust geté en ung sac en Saine? Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan? La royne Blanche comme lis Qui chantoit a voix de seraine, Berte au grand pié, Beatris, Alis, Haremburgis qui tint le Maine, Et Jehanne la bonne Lorraine Qu'Englois brulerent a Rouan; Ou sont ilz, ou, Vierge souvraine? Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan? Prince, n'enquerez de sepmaine Ou elles sont, ne de cest an, Qu'a ce reffrain ne vous remaine: Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan? English Translation Ballad Of The Ladies Of Yore Tell me where, in what country, Is Flora the beautiful Roman, Archipiada or Thais Who was first cousin to her once, Echo who speaks when there's a sound On a pond or a river Whose beauty was more than human? But where are the snows of yesteryear? Where is the leamed Heloise For whom they castrated Pierre Abelard And made him a monk at Saint-Denis, For his love he took this pain, Likewise where is the queen Who commanded that Buridan Be thrown in a sack into the Seine? But where are the snows of yesteryear? The queen white as a lily Who sang with a siren's voice, Big-footed Bertha, Beatrice, Alice, Haremburgis who held Maine And Jeanne the good maid of Lorraine Whom the English bumt at Rouen, where, Where are they, sovereign ****** But where are the snows of yesteryear? Prince, don't ask me in a week or in a year what place they are; I can only give you this refrain: Where are the snows of yesteryear?

See how this Trodden Commoner invites With his Self cheers the Hero on the Board As he predicts his proven Time and Sights Another Inscrutable Win absorb So much so it becomes the Nation's Theme With Married Saints you dear Prince do us Proud Even if your Light condenses to meme At least those close to you will share your Cloud I would only wish for your Halo's Morn That a Wee Signature you could offer, Poking your eyes from Dimensions and Form And just see the Heart which knows no other. Yes, I know. Seven-by-Ten Digits speak same Most by Tradition. By nature are Dames.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - SIXTY-NINE - TOM DALEY
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, It isn’t just one of your holiday games; You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES. First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily, Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James, Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey— All of them sensible everyday names. There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter, Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames: Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter— But all of them sensible everyday names. But I tell you, a cat needs a name that’s particular, A name that’s peculiar, and more dignified, Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular, Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride? Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum, Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat, Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum- Names that never belong to more than one cat. But above and beyond there’s still one name left over, And that is the name that you never will guess; The name that no human research can discover— But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess. When you notice a cat in profound meditation, The reason, I tell you, is always the same: His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name: His ineffable effable Effanineffable Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

The Naming Of Cats
One day Woke up feeling randy No one else was handy What's to do? Get dressed Satisfy the horn With badly acted **** On pay per view Hopes sink Cable's on the blink But twitter lends a helping hand Bang, bang, come and have a gang bang Gain entrance on demand Have a gang bang Come and have a gang bang It's a gang bang Come and have a gang bang Went out Followed the directions Battling erections All the while Red cheeks Granny at the bus stop Let her vision drop Then cracked a smile Half four Knocking at the door It opens and a voice proclaims "Bang, bang, come and have a gang bang We've far too many dames" The host was a sight to see Not far over seventy And wrapped in a silk dressing gown I thought I would walk away But saw that the sky was grey And it star- -ted ******* It down Stepped in Blinded by a deep gloom Ushered to a dark room Curtains shut Deep breath Air is old and musty Carpet feeling crusty Underfoot Sprawled there Women lying bare And fellas with their organs free Bang, bang, cover up your **** **** Regain your decency Pretty gang bang Pretty ****** gang bang ****** gang bang Pretty ****** gang bang Look round Writhing on the ground With squishy little sounds But something's odd Fat lass Itching at her *** crack Isn't that a ball sack? Oh my god! Jaw drops Granny from the bus stop Wearing nothing but a grin Bang, bang, pretty ****** gang bang What ******* let her in? She's nothing but skin and bone With ribs like a xylophone At least several decades too old To use the vernacular It's like bumming Dracula She's wiry She's wizened She's cold Oh (pretty) no ****** Rasping on my **** With fingers like a sock Filled up with ice No (scary) chance (hairy) Giving her the slip My todger's in a grip Just like a vice It (saggy) seems (baggy) Like she's in a dream While scraping with her ancient hand Bang, bang, ****** ****** gang bang My sore and swollen gland Granny bang bang Granny granny gang bang Granny gang bang Granny ***** gang bang Knock, knock Coppers at the door Go crawling on the floor And off at speed What fun Looking at the punters Myriad of munters As they flee'd Cold, wet Drowning in regret With trousers round my knees I stand Bang bang ****** ****** gang bang Next time I'll use my hand Bang bang ****** ****** gang bang Next time I'll use my haaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!

My sisters and I jest That men never get over us. We have been named Muses, angels, succubi, leanan sidhe But we are les belles dames avec merci And that is their undoing. Our breath has left them gasping With unfilled lungs We never meant to be their oxygen But they drink us in like drowning men. We didn’t ask for this, But disarming, we are soft enough For them to float in Belly up, eyes to distant stars Singing the sirens song that stirs in our veins. Behind our teeth rests the love The world has failed to give them till now There are holds in the knowledge that our fingertips find the hollowed spaces, mother wounds, clefts where trust was carved out, And they clutch our palms to staunch the bleeding. We never asked for this, They cherish the brittle changelings of us until they are crushed in the coals of our eyes Eggshell ideals, fragile as egos. Blown by the sea wind in the strands of our hair they are scattered, undone. The distance drifts between, inevitable And full they turn away to starve We cut the mooring line After one too many storms, And search For safer Harbor.

When I put her out, once, by the garbage pail, She looked so limp and bedraggled, So foolish and trusting, like a sick poodle, Or a wizened aster in late September, I brought her back in again For a new routine-- Vitamins, water, and whatever Sustenance seemed sensible At the time: she'd lived So long on gin, bobbie pins, half-smoked cigars, dead beer, Her shriveled petals falling On the faded carpet, the stale Steak grease stuck to her fuzzy leaves. (Dried-out, she creaked like a tulip.) The things she endured!-- The dumb dames shrieking half the night Or the two of us, alone, both seedy, Me breathing ***** at her, She leaning out of her *** toward the window. Near the end, she seemed almost to hear me-- And that was scary-- So when that snuffling ****** of a maid Threw her, *** and all, into the trash-can, I said nothing. But I sacked the presumptuous hag the next week, I was that lonely.

The Geranium
Rascals, ruffians and rogues alike. Slumming the alleys with their slurs, And sewage rats. Across the streets, just beyond the performers. The dames of paradise carrying flowered parasols. *A ***** she is. Stupid Alessandra!* one said. The hooligans hugged each other with glee, As the women struck each other, With their spiteful words. Filthy, is the life of the cleaner souls, And rich, is the life of the poorest minds. Alas, the weirdest of them all is God.

157 Musicians wrestle everywhere— All day—among the crowded air I hear the silver strife— And—walking—long before the morn— Such transport breaks upon the town I think it that “New Life”! If is not Bird—it has no nest— Nor “Band”—in brass and scarlet—drest— Nor Tamborin—nor Man— It is not Hymn from pulpit read— The “Morning Stars” the Treble led On Time’s first Afternoon! Some—say—it is “the Spheres”—at play! Some say that bright Majority Of vanished Dames—and Men! Some—think it service in the place Where we—with late—celestial face— Please God—shall Ascertain!

Musicians wrestle everywhere
I laughed in places Where Laughter was not asked for, In granite market towns Beneath refugee palm trees shivering. Running from giant hands That were covered in car wash fluids, The back of children's heads imprinted On their palms. I laughed during disciplinary procedures, Before authority figures With cornflakes in their red beards And my laughter crept over the edges of their flowerbeds And the grass laughed with me. I laughed at funerals, The sounds of horses beyond the churchyard And a messenger ran down the aisle panting and exhausted, He had a message for my laughter ' Quick you must come at once'. I laughed during marital feuds, Laughter rising out of its own body above broken guitars and dried up bonsai, Above all the things I said That contradict me now. I laughed during serious films, The tulips drooping on top of the T.V. The sun slumped against the door, Behind heavy curtains I mistook for pigs on hooks. I laughed over exercise books, Above algebra and history Behind impossible bra straps That appeared out of acne and ink flicked backs. I laughed at the swimming pool Hiding birthmarks like stains, Drowning above the water saying 'I am a fish I must get back in!'. I laughed in surgeries among migraines and told my mother that robots were taking over, in the same rooms where they removed my brothers' verucas And I saw the doctors small blade escape through the window. I laughed during friends confessions, In between the silences of repeated songs While pantomime dames walked past windows make-up running in black and yellow rain. I'm laughing while making coffee in a campervan, I'm laughing because its a monday morning, Because everyone else is busy, Because we have an oil lamp from a pound-shop Burning beneath the sound of rain on the roof, Because the radio's silent….. And because sausages are best done slowly.

Henceforth all ducks shall be shackled entwined in martyrdom half-shaven and fully aroused baked and shaked and rattled and rolled like bunnies, their reproduction obviously blantantly even Freud would scratch his beard too blatant the *** obviously there must be another underlying problem loving alcohol means you need **** *** obsession means you need love? Condoms? Loch Ness Monster came over for tea drank the imaginary brew spat boiled liquid onto a canvas and sold it as art "yes, yes, what does it mean?" What does it mean? It means that you think too much and don't feel and don't think enough too caught up like me not perfect just only and only is all one can do can be accounted for one, two, three fall in-between the divisions of derivatives damask dames like snoozing penguins which is black, white and dread all over none too sure or very glassy not too much of anything just, just.

i'd like to live in my mind of fantasy lands and overgrown worlds bustling and shaking with life in all forms of giant snakes that zoom through the air of witches and wizards in constant war of golden knights and fair-headed dames princesses wielding swords off to battle and magic coursing through my veins my blood is liquid dreams and my heart beats to the melody of a lullabye oh how i wish to live in my head untouched by the grime of time unburdened by the weight of my reality unbroken unburied.

Valiant galley set sail adrift through the Dardanelles. Her masts, backs straight, composed as Venetian dames in familiar basse danse. Sunset floats amongst the sea mist silhouetting the capital's skyline. The holy dome of the Αγία Σοφία eclipses the light. The Lady makes port, at the City on the Seven Hills. Gentle entrance to the beating heart of the bustling district.

So I'm a "fly" white guy, with "Jet" black tendencies, Try to be a nice guy, But somehow end up the enemy. I'll treat you like a princess, But I'm a fort, You can't get into me. It makes no sense to me. How did this knight in shining armor, Get slain by the dragon? So once upon a time, I was a hero, Now I'm a has-been. Last in the castle for I belong with the Pagans, Slaying distressed damsels, Giving hell to the angels With strangers wrapped in mangers, Destined for greatness. Trapped within this labyrinth of my cranium. But when it comes to blame, My pigmentation begins to change, But this time it's not my shame. 'Cause you play the same game That the dames did before you. You're no different. You're not worth a fortune. Fortunately, you revealed your horns for me. It's torturing how for me it ended horribly, and you moved on to the same dude you ******* before me. Love's supposed to be patient, Love's supposed to be kind, Instead it's a battlefield Filled with landmines. You say it's false, that nice guys finish last? Well clarify why I'm starin', At taillights from my past. They say when you have everything, You give nothing back. So I guess that explains Why your feelings for me lack. You're like "You're a white guy, That tends to be black. Well how in the hell Can I get used to that?" That's ******** You're afraid of commitment. That's why you had to end it, Before it could begin with. You're a cynical, sinister, Hypocritical minister, Angelic sinner sent to incriminate innocence. Evil's equivalent, Yet as sweet as carcinogens. If heartbreak were a game, Girl, you would be winnin' it. If my soul were a food, You would've finished it. I had a confident conscience, but girl you diminished it. Listen kid, I get you're immature and **** But don't go and slander my name When you used to worship it. Love's supposed to be patient, Love's supposed to be kind, Instead it's a battlefield Filled with landmines.

Up, up! ye dames and lasses gay! To the meadows trip away. ’Tis you must tend the flocks this morn, And scare the small birds from the corn. Not a soul at home may stay: For the shepherds must go With lance and bow To hunt the wolf in the woods to-day. Leave the hearth and leave the house To the cricket and the mouse: Find grannam out a sunny seat, With babe and lambkin at her feet. Not a soul at home may stay: For the shepherds must go With lance and bow To hunt the wolf in the woods to-day.

Hunting Song
A firework Of brightest colours Dances slow Beneath the stars Torches and candles Iron braziers' light Glowing warm In blue midnight Gowns of silk Fineries of all kind Whirling in solemnity "A dance, do you mind?" A thousand miles from sorrow High society indeed La crème de la crème The very best of breed Extravagance never is Too extra for those ladies fair Gossiping girls, all of them "Oh, look, this lady's hair!..." Gentlemen bowing Talking with hushed voices Trading, socializing Polite merchants' noises "This daughter of mine, She might well catch your eye..." This just a market of brides n' grooms An exchange, !!one truth for a hundred lies!! Gossip girls and merchants noble Less n' less real knights and dames Nobility used to mean heroes, and protection But long extinct, those once bright flames The only light there, now, Comes from a stake pile in the debris Burning bright, but in truth all hollow This great bonfire of vanities

A Bonfire of Vanities
I romanticize humanity until what's left isn't even human. I cook up fallacies about legal aliens and add a dash of cumin. Your chef tosses salads in the pasta section of the grocery store. Devil's just as confused, with a ***** and an apology at heaven's door. You don't know, and no one cares where eggs go when they die. Godzilla thinks of a car full of clowns like you would a sardine pie. What happens when an elephant gets alzheimer's and loses keys? Does the paradox consume an entire circus of trapeze-act-fleas? I ruin birthday cakes by blowing off the frosting instead of the flames. How I do that? Count backwards from backwards and say my names. Bittersweet love anthems pollute the brains of conscientious dames. Heavy metal doesn't pollute, it pacifies rage quitting from soul-sucking games. Out of the woodwork comes a limp ***** that would work, Long hours only to find he'd pay millions for a Miley Cyrus twerk, Which is worth about as much as an all-female circle **** Unless you add strap-ons, so strap in and lap up the knee-jerk-smirk. It is unwise to handle scissors when one is being cutting-edge, Because your accountants will dangle themselves off of a three-storey ledge, When you cut up the ledgers and make light of, that is, burn, the evidence of pledge, To the monkeys in your think-tank mailing feces to the upstart farmer's hedge. Now I know you're sick of rhyming and of poems and of liver culling whisky, But I must inform you of a pirate's missing eye, I've bought sight of something risky, I implore that when this song and dance is done, you'll assuredly miss me, Because I've told you everything about depravity, hence forth you must kiss me. Beacons of hope shine much like cantankerous silver in the moonlight. If you're a werewolf that will fill you with hope and with immeasurable fright. One day the world will admit that I'm awesome and impoverished to boot, Because when the song and dance is done, what's left is just an ounce of loot.

What's Left...
I romanticize humanity until what's left isn't even human. I cook up fallacies about legal aliens and add a dash of cumin. Your chef tosses salads in the pasta section of the grocery store. Devil's just as confused, with a ***** and an apology at heaven's door. You don't know, and no one cares where eggs go when they die. Godzilla thinks of a car full of clowns like you would a sardine pie. What happens when an elephant gets alzheimer's and loses keys? Does the paradox consume an entire circus of trapeze-act-fleas? I ruin birthday cakes by blowing off the frosting instead of the flames. How I do that? Count backwards from backwards and say my names. Bittersweet love anthems pollute the brains of conscientious dames. Heavy metal doesn't pollute, it pacifies rage quitting from soul-sucking games. Out of the woodwork comes a limp ***** that would work, Long hours only to find he'd pay millions for a Miley Cyrus twerk, Which is worth about as much as an all-female circle **** Unless you add strap-ons, so strap in and lap up the knee-jerk-smirk.

Type of the antique Rome! Rich reliquary Of lofty contemplation left to Time By buried centuries of pomp and power! At length—at length—after so many days Of weary pilgrimage and burning thirst, (Thirst for the springs of lore that in thee lie,) I kneel, an altered and an humble man, Amid thy shadows, and so drink within My very soul thy grandeur, gloom, and glory! Vastness! and Age! and Memories of Eld! Silence! and Desolation! and dim Night! I feel ye now—I feel ye in your strength— O spells more sure than e’er Judaean king Taught in the gardens of Gethsemane! O charms more potent than the rapt Chaldee Ever drew down from out the quiet stars! Here, where a hero fell, a column falls! Here, where the mimic eagle glared in gold, A midnight vigil holds the swarthy bat! Here, where the dames of Rome their gilded hair Waved to the wind, now wave the reed and thistle! Here, where on golden throne the monarch lolled, Glides, spectre-like, unto his marble home, Lit by the wan light of the horned moon, The swift and silent lizard of the stones! But stay! these walls—these ivy-clad arcades— These mouldering plinths—these sad and blackened shafts— These vague entablatures—this crumbling frieze— These shattered cornices—this wreck—this ruin— These stones—alas! these gray stones—are they all— All of the famed, and the colossal left By the corrosive Hours to Fate and me? “Not all”—the Echoes answer me—”not all! Prophetic sounds and loud, arise forever From us, and from all Ruin, unto the wise, As melody from Memnon to the Sun. We rule the hearts of mightiest men—we rule With a despotic sway all giant minds. We are not impotent—we pallid stones. Not all our power is gone—not all our fame— Not all the magic of our high renown— Not all the wonder that encircles us— Not all the mysteries that in us lie— Not all the memories that hang upon And cling around about us as a garment, Clothing us in a robe of more than glory.”

Religion is cascading the hill Of reason into a reptilian dale: **** by the dark Jidhadists' acts-- Souls demented beyond the pale. From Iraq to Egypt--there, thanks To Heaven for el-Sisi; from Syria To Yemen to Somalia, and a place Like the lands and shores of Nigeria, Where Boko Haram breathes hell In slaying and off skirting dames, Destroying to the smirk of the devil-- Knowing terrorists are no Muslims.

Let Us Alone
When I was a small child I was no lady fair and mild I was the princess of the wild As by tree climbing I was beguiled I didn't like pink princess sets Sports were something I couldn't get I climbed everywhere, even playgrounds that were wet And I loved proving kids wrong on a bet As I grew into the girl I became Some things changed, some stayed the same I love all sorts of clothes, made for both gents and dames And my boyish reaction to crushes is still my bane

Tomboy Reminders
(For G. H.) Say, does that stupid earth Where they have laid her, Bind still her sullen mirth, Mirth which betrayed her? Do the lush grasses hold, Greenly and glad, That brittle-perfect gold She alone had? Smugly the common crew, Over their knitting, Mourn her -- as butchers do Sheep-throats they're slitting! She was my enemy, One of the best of them. Would she come back to me, God **** the rest of them! **** them, the flabby, fat, Sleek little darlings! We gave them *** for tat, Snarlings for snarlings! Squashy pomposities, Shocked at our violence, Let not one tactful hiss Break her new silence! Maids of antiquity, Look well upon her; Ice was her chastity, Spotless her honor. Neighbors, with ******* of snow, Dames of much virtue, How she could flame and glow! Lord, how she hurt you! She was a woman, and Tender -- at times! (Delicate was her hand) One of her crimes! Hair that strayed elfinly, Lips red as haws, You, with the ready lie, Was that the cause? Rest you, my enemy, Slain without fault, Life smacks but tastelessly Lacking your salt! Stuck in a bog whence naught May catapult me, Come from the grave, long-sought, Come and insult me! WE knew that sugared stuff Poisoned the other; Rough as the wind is rough, Sister and brother! Breathing the ether clear Others forlorn have found -- Oh, for that peace austere She and her scorn have found!
