Money Saving Scheme

Ok, so I was thinking of a way to save money, and I think I may have come up with something. Find a Christian girl, born on X-mas, and get married to her on X-mas. That way, you take care of birthday present, Holiday present, and Anniversary present on the same day. You would probably have to get a more expensive present, but it would just be one, and I feel that it would be less than the cost of all three presents combined. Plus, all the time you save!!! If it wasn't for Valentines Day, it would be perfect.

Words I think more people should use.

I have noticed a dearth of vocabulary from otherwise loquacious orators. Here are some words I feel should be incorporated into everyday language:

Tawny
Snifter
Perambulate
Avuncular
Ebullient
Augur

More to be added as I think of them...anyone have any ideas?

Poems I wrote on plane trip to New Jersey

Here are a few poems that I wrote with my sister while we were flying back east to Philly/New Jersey:

Freckles

U dot my skin
Like a fingerprint, u mark me
brown points of recognition
so I am not the same
brown points of imperfection
or possibly skin cancer
Chimo?



Alligator

Oh alligator, oh alligator
so green, so scaly
how u lay there
ur teeth so sharp
so incisive
ur brown, swampy home
is like paradise to you
I wish I could lay low
in the murky muck
to trap the unsuspecting buffalo
Lucky alligator.


Cumulus

Clouds in the sky
like a pile of mashed potatoes
oh let me be your gravy!
The mirage of the sky
Tempts me, like youthful snow
How I yearn to play
in your fluffy mounds
But I am old, and know
U are but a tease
and offer no support
just bitter rain
and suffocating darkness.
