You cradle me with your conquering cock

You use me like a tampon to stop the bleeding she caused

... “My wife does not understand me.”
Sympathetically I leaned across the counter….”Life mostly is not easy, Iggy. Don’t let it get you down.”
“No, I will not! But it is sad, and in a way I do not blame her.”
Now this was news to me! They usually have a girlfriend, or a secretary on the side, and try to justify themselves for wanting to ditch the now dumpy wife. Usually the missus is no longer good enough after giving it her all for so many years. Gleefully I polished the same glass again. “And why is that, Iggy?”....

“Yes,” he whispers, the longing burns within his eyes. “It calls to you for more torment.”
The surgical blade within my grip is silent, the steel cold upon my fingers. He points towards the weapon, his long fingers slide across the flat surface of the blade. “Give it more. I need it, give it more."......

Poetry is the deification of reality. 
Aliens in AmericaIn the beginning the pastor still came around, and even prayed for Admiral’s safe return, citing the instance of Laika, the first dog in outer space, saying that there really is no need for brother Jonathan to be so spaced out about it all. Why, he even brought brother Jonathan a replacement, and promptly christened the animal General. But it only made brother Jonathan sadder, for the General was no Admiral: in fact, it resembled a Pentagon general to a tee: barking a lot and not doing much. However, pastor Bull, ever the optimist pointed out to brother Jonathan that he must look on the bright side: at the least his General was so lazy that not even the aliens will manage to make him jump on to the roof, and into the tummy of the flying saucer!

Barack Obama- some thoughts...Who knows, maybe Mr B will be able to, amongst other, sort out America’s economic mess? A mess that was originally conceived by perhaps John F Kennedy, when he stated: ““What you want is a deficit,” at an August 9, 1962, White House meeting. “You want more money being spent than is being taken out of the economy.”
Be as it may, John W Gardner concluded his statement with “Very few have excellence thrust upon them.” Mr B is a good man, and I am sure he is fairly competent, but great? I do not think so...
