life

[elazar]

they're spying on me in heaven
they're spying on me in hell
to recruit me for a season
or give me merchandise to sell
they offer me a wardrobe
they offer me a suite
but i'd be begging for forgiveness
from everyone i meet
i ponder my decision
it will be not be in haste
perhaps i'll try on them both
to see which one suits my taste

[Byron]

elazar, can I suggest this.....?



They spy on me from heaven
They spy on me from hell
To recruit me for a season
Their merchandise to sell?
They've offered me a wardrobe
They've offered me a suite
I'd be begging for forgiveness?
from everyone I meet
I ponder my decision
T'will not be made in haste
Perhaps I'll try them both on
To see which suits my taste


Feel free to bollock me if you want.

I like the choices and the reflection on Life and/or Fate. Do we take what is offered or carve our own route?

[mickey_one]

or, with charming subversion by apostrophe in the last verse,


They talk to me at Saville Row
but send me off to Gap
to employ me for a season
(their merchandise is crap)

They've offered me a wardrobe
they've offered me one suit
I'm begging for flare trousers
as I only have one boot

I ponder the material
twill’s not made in haste
perhaps I'll try them both on
to see which suit’s my taste

I like the old saying, "When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow."

[Andrew McGeever]

Dear Elazar,
No sooner has the ink dried on your poem when those two rascals, Mickey-one and Byron, have hijacked the thread
Ah well, I guess that's "life"

Andrew.
P.S. Don't let them bully you: just tell them to G.T.F. (in Portuguese, of course!)

[Byron]

Andrew, your way wiv werds is legendirical.

Go For Tea?

Gonads Fettling Treatment?

[lizzytysh]

GTF, Byron, not GFT .
So much for tea...
so much for crumpets...
so much for gonads fettling treatment .

I think I see an ink smear, Andrew. I don't think it was dry yet . That's life...

[Byron]

Drats, she's noticed I'm dexlickit. But only wiv capiatls, like Lodon, Wishingtime, Mooscof, and Editbrother.
