THE ACROBAT

  The Acrobat

My houseI have put in orderWill signed and notarizedUpdated with a codicilImportant papers duly filedAuto pay on my billsLast wishes sent aheadFor when I am deadBut beforeI buy the Farm Kick the BucketBite the Big OnePush up daisesPass onThat isBefore I dieThere is one thing I must not missI'm no acrobatBut I shall tryTo put my head between my legsAndkiss my ass good bye

I prefer arse to ass. But

I prefer arse to ass. But then again. That's my arse, not your ass. And I'll kick it from here to there if you think you're leaving Neo that easily. ;-) ~A "The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses, but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as a creation of his senses." ~ Ernst Mach

My dearest Ass

Ann of Norway My dearest Ass,  you farce, you fart,  you start in serious fun, then as we've just begun,  we see no qualms,  not fears, no fuss  and then when falling down  we laugh at the end,  the butt, the bottom,  the back-side, the anal regions,  the posterior  is reached  what then  oh gosh  and tut  and f  and smut and bloody hell your arss?  And yow  you naughty gutt ( boy in N.)  you've been and gone and smirched  your renomé  and got your way  today  with dirty  bloody dirty talk  but hey  why not  you've no damn thing to loose  reduced and  turned near inside out  with the effort of your demise  surprised  I'm not ** ** ** ** This has a Zen-like end like the curling round of the scorpion to prick yourself to poison the deamons and get them to leave you; great fun for us! I'm not from "Down under"!!! Annuccia the mad girl from Norway.

J.B. Longo-GeremiaYou bet!

J.B. Longo-Geremia You bet! Butt I hope didn't make an ass of myself. "Dirty" ,Lady Ann, is in the eye of the beholder....:) According to the Russian critic and philosopher. Michael Baktin, mention of the lower body fujcntions is a celebration of life: procreation and taking IN the world, digesting it, an d giving it back to earth. Cycle of creation and recreation. I ain't no dumb blond, you know. :)

Do you really want to know

Ann of Norway Why I used the word "dirty" not for what it stands for, as I am not so keen on that use of it, but using it as an adjective that has been used by others than me before in connection with the subject matter here and hoping it did, similar to a swear word, emphasise itself to becoming stronger than bad or distasteful. Oh I don't know if I have explained myself well enough, but we who hardly ever swear are slightly scared of using such words, and this suits the subject matter so I STAMPED it in. Lord Joseph beheld. Michael Baktin was dead right! It never even crossed my mind!!! You Nordic Adonis with your head screwed on :)

To treat thus ...

lightly such heavy subject---truly the mark of a genius. Impressive. Cogent. On the money. A delightful read. Thanx, Chuck
