Shame on DUers Whom Have as Yet Failed to Purchase a Heart For Me! *NOW WITH POETRY!* Avast!

Last edited Thu Feb 13, 2014, 04:57 PM - Edit history (3)

You may otherwise and at the very least mitigate that shame by kicking this tread.

Regardless, a Blessed Saint Valentine's Day to you all.

Monstrous, negligent creatures of dark perfidy though you may be!


EDIT:

The time is late, I've had my fill,

I'm full of hearts, I'm near to ill!

I now beseech, as I am done

to seek out those who have but none.

To gift a heart to others be

The salve to this great malady.


---proclamation by his royal highness and the vicar, right blessed.

nationality. My politics, however, are fiercely pro-Sinn Fein. To me, Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness practically walk on water. No need for unnecessary detail. But I am glad to see old Lizzie the Hun getting ready to step down. My favorite Paul McCartney song is "Give Ireland Back to the Irish!" Because of my loud mouth, it behooves me to stay out of British reach. If I went back there wearing my favorite tee shirt, I'd get arrested for hate speech; it shows the back of a little IRA Daniel boy who's facing a huge British Goliath bellowing at him, "Yer a bleedin' terrorist!"

Sorry, it's past my nap time, and I get cranky around this hour. No offense intended toward you.

With a knife we cut bread, and thus we are fed
then nourished and large grows the mind.

The poetry I appreciate,
though it's hard to differentiate
which is smaller upon my plate,
lack of funds, or my loveless state.

Thus your nature I can't equate

You, your rhyme, are what make DU great.

A love for words has not to wait
for a lover to gesticulate,

on bended knee with earnest look,
all we do is crack a book.

The remedy need not be hard
when playing footsie with The Bard.

As for some line to earn your plate,
DU wishes luck in the aggregate.
