apples and trunks,
basketball dunks,
center of the circle,
cores get crunk.

limits and limes,
not thought no time,
skewer the edge,
squeeze the rhyme.

Armor and sword lyrics by Rush

Album: Snakes & arrows

the snakes and arrows a child is heir to
are enough to leave a thousand cuts
we build our defenses, a place of safety
and leave the darker places unexplored

sometimes the fortress is too strong
or the love is too weak
what should have been our armor
becomes a sharp and angry sword

our better natures seek elevation
a refuge for the coming night
no one gets to their heaven without a fight

we hold beliefs as a consolation
a way to take us out of ourselves
meditation or medication
a comfort ,or a promised reward

sometimes the spirit is too strong
or the flesh is too weak
sometimes the need is just too great
for the solace we seek
the suit of shining armor
becomes a keen and bloody sword

a refuge for the coming night
a future of eternal light
no one gets to their heaven without a fight

confused alarms of struggle and flight
blood is drained of color
by the flashes of artillery light
no one gets to their heaven without a fight
the battle flags are flown
at the feet of a god unknown
no one gets to their heaven without a fight

sometimes the damage is too great
or the will is too weak
what should have been our armor
becomes a sharp and burning sword

And so the little bird sang
And the snail he hummed
Until the bird got hungry
The snail's day was done

Escargot yum yum yum

do you ever feel proggy
at this time of night
and you know it's not right
but you just can't fight?
wanna strike up the pipe
and light up the sky
and fiddle a figure
to make Frank cry?

My chicken's gone broody
Which means she's quite moody
Sitting on unhatchable eggs.

We don't have a rooster
But nothing will boost her
From the brown ovals beneath her legs.

She sits in the coop
Takes quick breaks to poop
And get a quick bite to eat.

At each morning's daylight
And sometimes at night
We grab eggs from under her seat.

I don't quite understand
This world.
It's so complicated. So improbable.
And we're so basic.

You wouldn't believe it if it was made up.
Too many holes in the plot for the monsters to crawl through.

There's light, here and there.
We try to grow towards it.
But mostly we're blind.
Looking for warmth, looking to be clean.

And there at the end are the ovens, the showers.

Wow. Dark.

Brilliant, but dark.

The old bastard fell
To the bottom of the well
His soul he had to sell
Just to get a short spell
Of rest

Tadaaaa!

Swirling,
Twirling,
Furling,
Tails a-whirling.

Squirreling.

Two squirrels were chasing each other around my tree.

You have certainly captured the essence of what it is to be a Squirrel.

Does it produce endorphins
To make a post orphan?
Does it make one inflate
To relegate
A former post
To just a ghost?
Do you seem a sage
When deferring a post to a back page?
Is it an orphan endorfin?
Or is it a snark shark?
