Epigram on Women - 0521 - after Amos Bronson Alcott - also attributed to James Mathew Barrie

Oh the goodness of their goodness when they're good,
and the prudeness of their prudeness when they're prude,
but the goodness of their goodness, and the prudeness of their prudeness
are as nothing to their lewdness when they're lewd.

Oh the lewdness of their lewdness when they're lewd,
and the nudeness of their nudity when viewed,
but the lewdness of their lewdness and the nudity of nudeness
are as nothing to their prudeness when pursued!

Epigram on Women
Oh, the gladness of their gladness when they're glad,
and the sadness of their sadness when they're sad,
but the gladness of their gladness and the sadness of their sadness
are as nothing to their badness when they're bad!

Oh, the shrewdness of their shrewdness when they are shrewd,
And the rudeness of their rudeness when they're rude;
But the shrewdness of their shrewdness and the rudeness of their rudeness,
Are as nothing to their goodness when they're good!

Default

Shocked!
As I was
To hear an unknown known voice
Inviting me to message
After 5 or 6 rings,
And charging me for the privilege
Into the bargain,
I understood why.

When setting up a similar facility
I thought it rudeness
To butt in on a person's expectations
Well before they had been lowered
By excess rings
And charge them for the rudeness
Into the bargain.

I made the facility wait for 13 rings
And told the privileged few,
Thus giving them good time to think,

Not To Rewind..

Why we have learned to speak, if the silence loves our heart,
Why we have learned to be kind, if the cruelty rules our mind,
Why we have learned to be polite, if the rudeness runs in our blood,
Why we have learned to be human, if animal instincts still control and collaborate.

If the silence is treasured in the hearts, the families are lost,
If the cruelties are dignified and glorified, the nations are destroyed,
If the rudeness step on the policies, livelihood are bargained,
If we try to hunt and annihilate, humanity is betrayed and nullified.

I Don't Subject Myself

I don't subject myself to rudeness,
Or condone it where I go.
I see some prude who allow this crudeness...
As if ignoring it doesn't make it so!

I've earned the right to be respected,
I don't expect with demand that it's there.
But I do reject,
An offensiveness I get.
And I let it be known...
With me those actions,
Are not to be shown.

'And 'who' are YOU? '

I'm a grown man...
I don't have to prove that is true!

I don't subject myself to rudeness,
Or condone it where I go.

Go On and Slam The Door

Huffin' with a puffin' isn't something that one plans on.
Nor is it considered as a wish that came and has gone.

You can throw a fit!
But how does that,
Benefit need?
Go on and slam the door!

Huffin' with a puffin' isn't something that one plans on.
Nor is it considered as a wish that came and has gone.
You can throw a fit!
But how does that,
Benefit need?

Go on and slam the door!
Its all been done before.
Your rudeness I'll ignore...
And your nasty snapping.

Go on and slam the door!

How Real Peace Is Lived

Treated with a taste of truth,
That minimizes rudeness...
Is soon to come.

Beating up yourself with troubles,
Snacking on stale bubblegum...
Is over and done!

The map of life,
Has gotten brighter.
Hot spots lit...
Have added misplaced pieces!

Wars and fights,
Ignited around the world...
Aren't won,
Or satisfied to thrill
When love decreases!

Keeping in perspective,
