Inspiration

Post by alongtimegone » Tue Jun 04, 2013 2:13 pm

Last night I felt inspired by the magic
of a sunset writing colours cross the night.
And I thought to race on home and take my pen in hand,
to sit at desk and let my rhymes take flight.
But my Harry (he’s a dog) was on the back seat of the car,
and he’s not got manners worth a pinch you see.
He gave the wind he’d stored that day its freedom.
And that inspiration took its leave from me.

the wind beneath your wings is surely wonderful :D
but not so much when coming from the dog :?
you gasp :shock: and try to breath :o as waves of flatus
surround you in a stench drenched anal fog.

You need to change Harry's diet Wazza or get him onto a course of charcoal tablets and/or Inner health or natural yoghurt.

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

"Fish should smell like the sea".....

Wazza, Am I wrong, or is that a freshwater fish you are holding there?

Yes Marion in this case it is. It's a juvenile barramundi caught in a fresh water estuary.. Barra can exist in both salt and fresh water environments. All Barra are born male ... yay ... one for the guys, but they later change sex. This one is male, not yet old enough for a sex change. It was returned to the water after the photo.
