I'm not that old dude! (late 40's)
You've heard of the chicken chain called 'Grandy's'? The precursor to that chain was called 'Granny's'. The old Granny's in Denton used to have the Burma Shave signs hung in their restaurants.

Showing your age, Jim. Wonder how many folks here remember the Burma Shave signs?
Sorry for the hijack, now back to your regularly scheduled poetry... Originally Posted by billw1032

Now, back to the original theme of the thread......

I typed this out while listening to some hip hop and watching American Iron Chef (Bobby Flay won). Must have been two hours ago. .. It is what it is.




Adoring, affectionate amour, animate .. being.
Breathtakingly beholding, beautiful beauty.
Cherishing careless caresses, continuously dreading daylight.
Dampening early employment endeavors.

Fighting foreman, futilely.
Freeing, fleeting, feeling .. fancy-free.
Garciously gauging gainful gains.
Hurrying home .. hopefully, hoarding hearts hope, home has .. her. Ignorantly, I'm isolated, incomparably jilted.

Kinetic lovers, love lost. Longing lust.
Languishing.
Living life lifelessly, loathing lovers lively laughter.
Missing muse.
Minds' manipulating ... manipulated.

Numbed, nursing, narcotize, overly obtunded.
Pushing past pain, peacefully placid, pacified.
Quelling quiet, respiting?, reflecting racy romance.
Still surmising, still she stalks senses.
Sheepishly, seeking sleep.
Slumbering ... thinking, thoughts, thinking through timeless times. Therapeutically utilizing vast visions, wondering where woman wanders. Whatever, enough of thinking about the X. Y? ... I need some Zs.


.. eh. I was bored.

Note: This has NOTHING to do with "hobbying", it's just me spit-balling words.

Adoring, affectionate amour, animate .. being.
Breathtakingly beholding, beautiful beauty.
Cherishing careless caresses, continuously dreading daylight.
Dampening early employment endeavors.

Roses are red
Violets have grace
I need to get laid

Thank you.
