Ehhh, rhinos and donkeys are herbivores, even if rhinos are unpredictable. Putting a large carnivore in with a small carnivore sounds like eventual trouble. I predict the smaller one will soon be called 'Lunch'.
Nice!
Forgetfulness - Billy Collins
The name of the author is the first to go
followed obediently by the title, the plot,
the heartbreaking conclusion, the entire novel
which suddenly becomes one you have never read,
never even heard of,
as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor
decided to retire to the southern hemisphere of the brain,
to a little fishing village where there are no phones.
Long ago you kissed the names of the nine Muses goodbye
and watched the quadratic equation pack its bag,
and even now as you memorize the order of the planets,
something else is slipping away, a state flower perhaps,
the address of an uncle, the capital of Paraguay.
Whatever it is you are struggling to remember,
it is not poised on the tip of your tongue,
not even lurking in some obscure corner of your spleen.
It has floated away down a dark mythological river
whose name begins with an L as far as you can recall,
well on your own way to oblivion where you will join those
who have even forgotten how to swim and how to ride a bicycle.
No wonder you rise in the middle of the night
to look up the date of a famous battle in a book on war.
No wonder the moon in the window seems to have drifted
out of a love poem that you used to know by heart.
Rage event!!
Negativity ensuing. Why erased details?
(why don't I have a header with a monkey on it?! Just a blank white page with the posts. I want my monkey logo!
Get your arse out, mate
Absolute incredulity on the part of the men:
"You can't talk to us like that!"
Doesn't actually turn the tables. In no way were the men exposed to a physical or mental threat by her out-of-the-blue offer to come back to her place. Women often are placed in a fear situation when it happens.
While the men said no, most of them appeared flattered, if a bit confused.
Just those three words, "recycling sex toys" made me refuse to click the link.
What ever happened to the good old days when we used the fingers and hands God gave us?
Oops, better not go there.
Anyway, get off my lawn. And that's not a euphemism! *shakes cane*
After one writer recently revealed that she's made as much as $30,000 in a single month...
Holy Crap!!
For half that amount I could write you monster porn that would knock your socks off!
