Oh, we’re going to write really bad verse now. OK, two of us can play that game. With apologies to the memory of Ian Pough. On bare rocks and wind swept sand carried by the sheltered sea, the young woman rolled. Sent to dry a solder’s tie; to guard against a gourd, whose cavernous innards were rotten with blight 'n compound. With nothing but feckless methods, her was to lie if typing began. Do we ask if they are craven? Those who are decreed to connive? Those so young or perhaps so old. Blinded by their muck and smuck, are they valued less because they lie; our bane, silenced before they take flight? Too gall; a freak, their prevarications impetent; they would be spotted from afar, failing in their betrayals. Who will scold them, these fickle rodents? Where are these mother f\*ckers with their smears? Do they lie as girls, those who never post as women, their passing not marked, but scorned. Cut down by the sea, with the salty water which flows from distant shores. More sympathy averted, a thread derailed, and the girl sent packing. The meme in time becomes a rhyme. The verse and prose are stilted, the asses of the impotent are submerged in waves from the sheltered sea of waters from the distant shores. ---

Slouched, actually, and would’ve slumped off the chair altogether had she not been strapped in.

With nothing but a state-of-the-art mouth-operated motorized wheelchair, hers was to die if shooting began. Or if her wheel brake gave out and she rolled off the cliff, or her colostomy bag clogged… look, recruitment was at an all-time low, OK? Basically she was there to be a flagpole. \*\*This post has been prosed by the prosist! ---

> [@Maastricht](#): > > What is wrong with **TokyoDad**? **TokyoDad** is sad. It’s actually called depression and anxiety rather than sadness, and I’m being treated, but definitely get ups and downs. I try very hard to keep the downs away when the kids are around. I’m over five months sober, and they say it gets worse first but then better. People here have been incredibly supportive for me over the years. God knows how much harder it would have been without everyone. My children thank you. ---

> [@TokyoBayer](#): > > Someone with a join date of August, with a single post referring to something which happened several months ago? It was not a real poster. It was a troll, an evil dark mockery. A selfish, insatiable longing for laughter which could never be filled until it was let go. Fingers typed. Alone, twisted, a parody. A burning urge. which could only be slaked by the bitter dregs of woe. Submit was hit. Thirst was slaked, the beast was sated. For now. Yet the urge, the compulsion to jest was only slumbering. In the dark hours it would rise. Cold, brutal. It sleeps, restless, muttering. Craving. ---
