Christmas in Fertile Florida
There's a world of difference
between palms and pines, isn't there?
GRANDEUR of a SORT
(a tribute to the blessed spirit of Rabelais)
Grandeur of a sort so rarely seen
Nostrils flare and eyebrows start to raise.
Under no constraint to withhold praise
Harridans and hustlers turn pea green.
Ladies feel the breath stop in their throats;
Looking fixedly at everywhere,
Except the spot where others gape and stare,
While he who has it calmly stands and gloats.
Ogleworthy ones have special rights
Sparking fights whenever they wear tights.
Still they occupy a favored space
Inimitable, above the commonplace
Exhibiting most coveted delights
Half pityingly as they gaze down from the heights.
~ FreeThinke
Well!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if what I'm thinking is what you intended, FT.
Poor taste lives everywhere.
ReplyDeletePoor taste lives everywhere, indeed, while appreciation of the absurd, of delicious ironies, and the pleasure of viewing life with a lively sense of humor are on the verge of becoming extinct.

Oh yes, Francis, and a broken clock tells the right time twice a day too. ;-)

ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! Rabelais would be proud of you.
Strange Comments if I must say so myself
ReplyDeleteGrace, honour, praise, delight,
ReplyDeleteHere sojourn day and night.
Sound bodies lined
With a good mind,
Do here pursue with might
Grace, honour, praise, delight.

ReplyDeleteCreate in me a clean heart, O God
Ad renew a right spirit within me
Cast me not away from Th presence
And take not Thy holy spirit from me
Restore unto me the joy of my salvation
And uphold me with Thy blessed spirit.
O let my mouth be filled with Thy praise ]That I may sing of Thy glory all the day long.
All the day long.
