Meet & greet on Lonestar, eh?

Bryan, the Imperial Guild of Engineers is pretty thankful !
And of course I would like to see the complete story of Sam McGee


Finally with respect to my foreign language limitations a very compact work:


Gravity


Gravity ......... sucks !
 
What Fools They Be..

Spring arrives, and those who mark the Greening of the planet and renewal of promises made in Winter's thrall stand amazed and
Look upon the strange procession of those behind the moribund polyhedral pyre as it flits bird like first here, then there, and as if they were tantalus, chasing ever never catching, miss the miracle of spring.

Others watch this life-like pandemonium and marvel at the futility of some who throw themselves bodily into pits so that the bird if chance may see, may cross unimpeded and uninjured.

Strange this ghost of past and younger days doth seem alive and yet the stink of the grave lies all about, yet the bird with trinkets somehwo dropping here and there, sheds light that those who pick its droppings must be blind that the scat they gather be somehow the baubles of long gone Babylon, or Alexandria's library as yet untouched by vandal's fire.

I see as one reborn with black and white the strange endless pandemonium before the fall, and steer instead for pastures where once all gathered, held and met in peace. Even with the shadows of slain trolls now spirited off to their nether worlds of gripe and grind the air is more akin to ceremony and not substance.

What of the tune the bird doth sing? Shall the 'faithful;' ever chase and lemming-like into the sea shall fall, and all be lost? What the Pied Piper has wrought he now must pay, or sorry ends all will see.

Oh Pharisee

Oh No, there is none Holier than me!
No Fanfare or check please, your adulation and Knowing it twas I my only fee--
though daily I do repeat and smite my breast aloud, and tell the passerby,
"You see? You see--Twas me!"
*** ***
"I care not," I say for cash credits, "no, not I!"
I only walk the block, and greet each passerby,
To tell them their sleep secure, and peace to all men who cast a 6-sided die.
That other chap who took for cash for gain, I do deride
-so mercenary to stoop for cash when in greatness I did all for they who ply
the Old LBB-way for free--
--"You See? You See? twas me!"
 
HS Graduation Milestones..

Tick-tock, tick-tock time flies by;
Tassel, Cap & Gown replace baby shoes.

Buy your walking cane yet?

My second-oldest niece graduates H.S. next month... I'm looking for a nice ivory-headed one (with the hidden sword-blade of course).

I already have the gray hairs in my beard.
 
No knee replacements... just no kneecap lining left, and 15% mobility loss in right one... and service-connected disability for arches.

Aren't we the old farts sitting around comparing aches & pains?
:rolleyes:

I'll grow a beard when Uncle Sugar Ain't Retired Me Yet is done with me (or me with them)..
 
It's been too long since I cleaned out my files, but I did find some more haiku...

Psionic battles...
mental combat, probe and block.
Man, my head still hurts!
