For, glowering in uncharted realm, within that musty maw;
A ravaged, long-lost citadel - appalling to the sight;
Eroded stone and sun-baked clay mired in primordial night.
Its guardians stir, incensed thus rudely waked from timeless sleep;
And yawn and stretch, and heel-to-toe, start from the gloomy deep;
An eerie file of mythic beasts lured from their hoary den,
Like night-moths to the lamplight, by this sunlit world of men.

Nine was picked simply because it rhymed. Not because it was true or made sense. So how many things do you embrace that sound great/good/fine but when thought about make no sense?

However, he's in the kitchen eating a lot, and almost every time I go back in for a cup of coffee, my stuff has been put away. Aside from gluing it to the counter, which I am totally doing tonight, what are some creative ways to get him to stop?He says he's putting it away, and that I should too, because it's not in use, but I can think of dozens of things he doesn't put away or clean. :/ And, this has been going on for a year or more. Gah! less

And the Consul’s speech was low,
And darkly looked he at the wall,
And darkly at the foe.
‘Their van will be upon us
Before the bridge goes down;
And if they once may win the bridge,
What hope to save the town?’
The waves take awful toll of them,

And irksome northland winters long,

And spent from bloody fights,
And irksome northland winters long,
And dreary winter’s nights,
Their dragon-ships hauled high and dry,
Hostage to ice and fogs,
They huddle round their longhouse fires
With their brawling half-wild dogs.

I mean those liquid bottles where you blow through a wand and loads of bubbles are blown out. You do have to be careful the puppy doesn't eat too many bubbles but it makes me smile seeing her chase the bubbles and try to catch them

Athletic organizations looked the other way while yourg girls were being sexually abused. They are all the same. Evil hypocrites more interested in getting what they want than caring about what it costs victims to give it to them. SHAME on all of them.

For you who live in foreign lands.Don't visit. This country is very dangerous for all living things. If you value life this is not the place to be. Here massacres are taken with aplomb and we move on to the next one...changing absolutely nothing about the cause so of course there will be many more massacres to which we look forward. A SH **HOLE COUNTRY to be sure vis a vis valuing the lives of the residents...especially the children. :( less

Voters BELIEVE them and vote for them and then are royally screwed by the liar who made the promise. People are very gullible. They will believe the absurd word of a con man because they want to so much. They keep doing it repeatedly. The con man keeps promising repeatedly. It's a little game they play. Guess who always wins? :(
