behold thy wicked charms
these are my final qualms

the turn of six it is
i've got to go and p..s

upon return a rose
was stuck up in my nose

i saw this face reflected
that was a bit neglected

in shock and utter horror
i screamed: 't is an error!

though church bells chimed in terror
the sixth chime wasn't an error

proclaiming: 't is the end
and thus i left to repent.

yep, this is me being poetic at the end of the day... say no more!

go gertrude go gertrude go gertrude go

Rose sieht einen "schönen Baum und sie dacht ja er ist rund aber rundherum werde ich Rose ist eine Rose ist eine Rose reinritzen und dann ist’s einfach da und ich höre nirgends mehr irgendwas das mir in der Nacht Angst macht."



G.S. persönlich: “Also hören Sie! Ich bin doch kein Narr. Ich weiß, dass man im täglichen Leben nicht sagt, 'is a ... is a ... is a ...'. Aber ich denke, dass in dieser Zeile die Rose zum ersten Mal seit hundert Jahren in der Dichtung rot ist.“

„Kann Rose eine Rose sein wenn ihre Lieblingsfarbe Blau ist?“

the death of a rose

beheaded and sad it thus sat on the sill,
awaiting new buds to sprout now but still

the fading light would hide its open wounds,
yonder sunrise whistling promising tunes.

though no light and no tune may resurrect her.
she may never again feel a moment of spur.

the rose is dead, her body withering with age
one can only leave her and not feel its rage.

mann, ey. mistharken.tv

ich muss jetzt mal gehen und meiner gebärmuddi ne rose kaufen.

rehearsal

auf meinem fensterbrette
stand mal ein rosenbette
mit leuchtend blüten fette
doch niemand konnt sie rette

denn heimlich kam die rieke
in ihren klamotten schnieke
versteckt im rock ne pieke

ich brauch nen kaffee. kommste miete?

geköpfte rosen


wie unpoetisch...

TAADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

LEUUUUUUUUDE!!!

this is my new mutterbrett:


the story goes as follows: being frustrated and all about my lot as an apple widow yesterday i surfed the net and found a fitting motherboard online. they wanted $429 for it, around €300. thennnnnnnnn i talked myself out of it. it worked until this afternoon when i had to think of my baby sitting in a cupboard in my room awaiting a better life in the apple afterworld. so i sent a message to this freelance apple emergency guy, who not only told me the motherboard was a good deal but also made me a good offer on the repair. i got really excited. understandably, don't you think!

anyway, off i went to chew everyone's ear off who wasn't up in a tree by three. then i called my parents, who weren't there, so i called my sister and got the financing under way.

but the best thing is still coming: i got back online and because you could negotiate the price i sent an offer. what do think i offered? instead of $429 plus $36 shipping costs??? i offered them $400... HEHEHEHEHEHOHOHOHOHOHIHIHIHIHIHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA plus shipping costs... HEHEHEHEHEHOHOHOHOHOHIHIHIHIHIHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA again!

so much for my bargaining talent. well, of course they accepted the offer (not that they needed to think about it a lot...). if i'm lucky enough it all works out fine and my baby is gonna live again. if not i'm gonna CRY. or get drunk or break my foot kicking a light pole on the street. whatever comes to mind first.

so, peoples, pray for me and my baby!!!
