I rest among the stars.
While once I swore,
Not now, no more.
My life is told in scars.

When patch-eyed men
Come 'round again
Their lives are in my hand.
I'll stand up strong,
Release the throng--
What's blue I do command.

A little bit different than the ones from before
Still solve these eight, then for grins, one more


Gives credit where credit is due you've got
So when they're in yours, take your best shot

One or the other, determined will tell
Clears out with a stick for this it can spell

Afterwards ridden with an admission of me
Shines bright on its face so superficially

From the lands on high as a manner of speaking
Passing strong wind, an outburst of shrieking

A rock of ages you stand out in a crowd
All the more sure when you shout it out loud

Authorize to print maybe gets the point across
This passage one gains then forthwith a loss

Push and shove, tuck and roll, a good turn bears repeating
Always obliged am I, this demand is want for completing

Known often with the blues, one printed one dyed
An instruction of sorts, worn on the outside


From a long lost friend I've pirated the lot
So now for top marks, this you must spot

Dark and dreary
Light and cheery
Come at the right time
And catch me in my prime

Hundred million are we
Yet still it is just me
Never falling away
When the days go grey

If you want to see a society
Working together in piety
Come at the right time
And catch me in my prime

Every time i pass through
Wondering how far

Seven this time, you must solve, before your work is done
And even then, there's something more, to find about each one


Dress down and take to task, both maybe doubly so
Too this trashy sheet, could put you in the know

Vital that it functions, independently
Bellowing out loud, that could be the key

Previously this trio has formed ties on que
The one before this verse and code for sex too

Though it may be routine, just part of an act
It still adds up, you can count on that fact

To do the heavy lifting, I help to move along
A girly sort of thing, L.A. greets me in a song

How much they say, and if it's a fit
It's what it does, and then you're it

You may marvel at my exploits, super bold and strong
Should do lunch sometime, or don't be this of song

Though I'm also known as a tattletale
Which sometimes makes me blue

In common circles, I'm outdated
In political circles, overrated

Taking and acing many an exam

Guess Who? said the newcomer in a thin, flat voice.

I have no use for practical jokers, the Hatter answered, rather coldly.
Nor have I, said the stranger, his hands still covering the other's eyes.

At this point the Hatter took up the challenge with a series of questions:
Would you, by chance, be in a black suit this evening?
I would, but not by chance, by design.

Then I presume you're a member of all the posh clubs?
Sorry, no. Never been invited.

Surely you're better than average?
Indeed!

Not spotted, I hope?
Knock wood.

Married?
No, quite happy!

Who is behind the Mad Hatter?

In our baskets, we carry all,
back we go unload our haul.
Eat we will, and up it comes,
several times until it's done.
Create a breeze, fan we do,

What is left, is stored away,
sealed up for a rainy day.
Usually taken, though with care,
A risky treat if you'll dare.]]> Sat, 24 Jul 2010 23:10:07 +0000 http://brainden.com/forum/index.php?/topic/12338-gone-to-pot/ Que Sera, Sera http://brainden.com/forum/index.php?/topic/12333-que-sera-sera/
Forget about being happy
Passed the time as usual.
Sure could use a stiff drink
What's not overly sensual?
Maybe I'm just insipid
Never finding common ground.
Another flower on its way
Can't seem to hang around.
Though yes it may seem glaring
But know that it's not right.
For this certain scourge
Shan't ever come to light.
So glorify and sanctify
Still thank him nonetheless.
Never pull up from the race
When you did it just confess.
And if all's consumed by darkness
Don't dwell on deficiency.
Because in the end you'll find
It's all just meant to be.

Once upon a real long time,
I came across this little rhyme,
Eenie meenie minie moe,
I am the seed that you did sow,
Fe Fi fo fum,
I am smaller than your thumb,
One two buckle my shoe,
I am three that came from two,
Jack and Jill went up the hill,
I come around without a pill,
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,

I'll make a donation, just for you
So you can build a box and a swing or two
I'll provide relief from the heat, if you want me to
But in a storm -watch out!- I can turn on you

So you see, it really pays to love me for me
And not for what you want me to be
I can keep for ages, alive or dead
I'd rather live, and keep my glorious head!

Sort of a raw deal
