A roof with a view

the view from my roof on May 28, 2007

The Winds

The Winds

It was in the early morn of my demented days
We took walks in the park
We hung from buildings

We watched the blades of the fan spin in endless circles of computed elation and bliss and hatred and mediocrity

But the sun never rose outside my bedroom door
Or my window
Or under my bed, filled with sleepy rats

And here, the day is half passed
And we always feel like we should give a damn
But never seem to do


We walked along the corridors of greatness
Smelling smells that went in one ear and out the other
We stopped for barbecue with the clowns of Nineveh
We wanted to be nice
Never told them we were vegetarians
And starved instead

Day 22 brought us closer to freedom
Bellies rumbling from spoilt milk and the cheese of the damned
We filled up on chili-lime pistachios
And everybody saw we were nuts

Regret became a commodity
Instead, we swam in gold
Never did we ever look away, not once
Until Trish went under
We had to dive down deep, so that she might live

The winds of change dropped their G-forces, and instead looked to the sea
The winds of chance took us home again
Where we didn’t want to be
Having left in the first place
We left again
And looked to the sea, ourselves

It came from a wonderful little blog I like to frequent, called "Keeping Chickens in your back yard"
Or http://successwithpoultry.blogspot.com/

It's great if you've got a poultry related problem, or just want some friendly tips on how to keep your feathered friends happy.
For instance, yesterday, my White Crested Polish chickens' eggs hatched, and I wanted to find out how to tell the sex of the newborn chicks.
KCIYBY was just the ticket. So, if you have Chicken related questions, just like I do, check them out

I once punched a baby

I like this. Possibly because it's 1:13am, but also because it's funny.

Samuel's Manual

When Samuel read the manual he noticed something quite peculiar.

Said Samuel to the manual, I’ve the brains to read you not
For you’re nasty and confusing and a lot of nerve you’ve got.
Only the most of learned scholars understand you when they see

Your instructions are so many that your languages number three.
