Lion
Each time I’m hurting I search for you
To restore peace in my uneasy heart
Each time you’re hurting, you hurt me too.
growl, hiss and swipe
stop, I love you, I’ll make it better
Your mane’s all tangly and messy
You’ve drooled a little bit
A lion has no need for love
Except when he chooses another
In 3 days time you are calm,
I’ll know and lick your chin
From you, give me anything
I’m now beside you, sidling and listening
Lioness

To an old love never to be seen or heard from again

No more future of hope

No more happy tears

No more promises of scent or golden touch

And the passage of time carries you to destination distant memories

We change until we can change no more

We’ve got no plans, only sorrow

Kindly refrain from railing against the tiny sprig of parsley on your food. Though it has only job—to add a splash of green—it didn’t ask for it. Thank you.

I feel it my duty to report that Shein has stopped recommending via FB impractical items to me such as dresses made out of a scarce supply of duct tape. Instead, they ventured into more practical items such as “portable multifunctional woman’s urinal for travel” to “stand up and P…” in fuchsia in accordance with my (data-mined) profile, presumably. I say, this above all things, counts as ‘essentials’ in fashion-speak to the duct tape dress that might be a challenge to get out off especially for those of inflexible body type such as mine and hence, an impediment to trickling in the standard and usual sense.

‘Being a customer-centric organisation, we feel it incumbent upon us to craft a solution just for you. These come at only a fraction of our costs in the hopes of your continuing business, support and loyalty. Thank you.’

Mischievous trickster. You know you shouldn’t try to embrace anyone knowing you stink even if you believe erroneously in the non-transferability of your malodour unlike this morning’s fresh bouquets. Worse if you compliment them about their fragrance and look expectantly for a return of flattery.

“you don’t smell too bad yourself”

That would make them look like they’re lying or sarcastic.

“I like what you did to your hair”

Skipping over it makes it even more obvious

No comment.

Well, that’s rude especially if accompanied by an awkward pause.

You will do it anyway because you like people or so you say.
