    Revised.Too obnoxious.... I'll walk into another room... It's a nice rain falling outdoors. No more after this...I mean it. Maybe I do not understand...

    ~

    Revised: I add this idea:`Oscar Wilde.

    The Ballad of Reading Gaol-Oscar Wilde.

    The end poetry lines for my last post.

    *

    Some love too little, some too long,

    Some sell, and others buy;

    Some do the deeds with many tears,

    And some without a sigh;

    For each man kills the thing he loves,

    Yet not each man does not die.-O.W.*

    `

    Death is nothing. Fear?

    Slip into another room.

    I am I and you are you.

    Whatever we were to each other,

    we are still. Call me? n/c. Only remember.

    Familiar names, and we each have a soul.

    Speak. It doesn't matter what tone is used.

    Put no forced solemnity, jokes, or a sorrow.

    Laugh as we always like to at simple jesting.

    Play, smile, think of others, a pray for peace.

    Let people speak. No worry of shadow effect.

    Life means all that it ever meant. Same as ever.

    There is always a unbroken continuity. O death?

    What? Am I out of mind because I'm out of sight?

    O well, for a interval, somewhere there is another.

    Someone is worst, or better off, or more miserable.

    I enjoy UT's banter. And all is well. You will delete?

    *

    The rest is what was deemed too off-color. odorous?

    *

    War is nasty. I am tired, and glad to go.

    *

    What was deleted follows. Finally, I shush.

    @ 6:41. dear maotestung. Then what?

    'um scoop what float? Scum with mayo?

    Rye wheat bread, sunflower seed, poppy.

    sesame. Solomon and Sophia say: 'um say,

    hop on all four froth stinky toad bunny legs?

    Krystol's op-ed bowl has tiny pellets floating?

    A bowl of spiked punch has some Sailor Jerry?

    Sailor Rum Jerry sad? Human liver always rots.

    Glaring into a clear bowl, a teacher say: P-U's.

    A T. Friedman crew-colleagues spew OP-Ed's.

    The same-same, P-C's zealot. O use Silencer.

    A poison pen-weapon got 'silencer' & bashes.

    A "professor" is the killer-quack. Opt to s`up.

    Narrow a playing field. Say 'de plain 'aka' truth.

    Fakes wear same-same false faces retro suits.

    Old ugly, nauseating, fecal-libel? No-label. Oy!

    O. Let's say: Immanuel Kant? Ethics. Salon photo?

    Can't help myself, on and on, a Lady's nice back?

    She must listen to Juan Sabastion Bach harmony?
