Poetry Pages

Good evening everyone.... It's been a while. Got an email that looked to be randomly generated asking me what's going on. So let's get into it: If you remember I was an Army Paratrooper and was medically retired at 17 years. I developed standard gulf war syndrome type problems, i.e. fibromyalga, clu...

Shall I confess my heart to her tonight? No, for I shall not be made to look weak! On certain subjects, a man does not speak-- To keep a certain silence is polite.

For much like the melon,
who doesn't stop to thank the fertilizer
for making it fat and delicious,

I have neglected you.

I miss you because:

Good old Rabab, with cookie crumbs in her hair,
I miss her so
Who's gonna acid wash my jeans?
Whose gonna heat up my rice and beans?
Who will rinse my moustache clean??

Wherefore art thou Rabab?

I had to write this a few days ago. (Don't ask) It isn't very accurate but is funny considering it was 'corrective training' for the Army. :thumbsup: The Importance of Following Directions Following directions is one of the most important things in this world and especially in this Army that we can ...

You're just making phoenix's head far too big.

Get an oxygen tank that is like one of those beer helmets. That way you have both hands for the snare.h

LMAO Isn't that what every man is thinking?

And in other news, dirty old men chase after poor innocent young ladies....

I hope I'm like you when I'm old Bags.
