If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, they would still not reach a conclusion.
~George Bernard Shaw
If all the sophomores who slept during lectures were laid end to end, they’d be more comfortable.

The Language of “Radio-Televese”
Broadcasters have to fill up air-time, it’s their job…no ‘dead air’. The beautiful convolutions of language that result are a pleasure to behold, lovingly told here.

Prewritten: tawdry, sneeze
~MissMerry: Prewritten by MissMerry
Never sure just how to dress
looking like a tall, hot mess
showing up a little late
with some guy you really shouldn’t date
seeking out some tawdry pleasure?
party drinks, expensive favors
lined out on mirrors,
poured in glasses
make us sneeze and goof like asses
sing along with all the songs
taking tokes from bubbling bongs
music pulses in your head
you laugh at every thing that’s said
It’s all good the inner voices say
make the whole world go away
except for what is here and now…
tomorrow you’ll be saying “owww”
from your hundred dollar headcold
so much fun
so much fun

Impromptu: yearning, culture
MissMerry: MM Impromptu
Irish brougue on every tongue
every bearded elder young
yearning for a culture gone
made fantastic by tales told yon
and latter day auld songs sung
Greener pastures often grow
in places we can never know
built of blarney in our heads
peoples, places, long past and dead
we live for life the fantasy sews
into our lives as we live for those
long gone, but not forgotten
