THE SCOTTISH PLAY

WATCHING THE KING'S SPEECH AND THEY MENTIONED THE SCOTTISH PLAY...I HAD TO LOOK IT UP CUZ I HAVE HEARD  OF IT BUT NOT IN A VERY LONG TIME...GOOGLE WILL TELL YOU BUT I DARE NOT  NAME IT...I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW WHY THOUGH...I MAY RESEARCH IT A LITTLE MORE BUT THIS IS ALL YOU WILL HEAR OF IT FROM ME...HA HA...CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL...

ARE YOU PRONE TO LAUGH ATTACKS

Author's Notes/Comments: 

SOMETIMES LAUGH ATTACKS COME AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES...ON A BUS SITTINIG ALONE IT HAS HAPPENED AND I JUST TRY NOT TO MAKE ANY EYE CONTACT...I FIGURE THEY ALL THINK I'M CRAZY OR SOMETHING....OH WELL...

ONCE IT HAPPENED DURING A PLAY AND MY FRIEND CAUGHT MY LAUGH ATTACK AND WE BOTH COULDN'T STOP AND I SAID I HEARD SOMEWHERE IF YOU CAN'T STOP LAUGHING LOOK UP AT THE CEILING  CUZ THE CEILING ISN'T FUNNY....SO WE TRIED THAT BUT IT DIDN'T WORK...THEN I NOTICED THE ACTORS LOOKING UP AT THE CEILING AND I WAS LIKE WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE FAST...SO WE RAN OUT OF THE THEATER...GOSH I THOUGHT OF A THIRD TIME BUT I FORGOT IT NOW...THE THEATER AND THE BUS WERE THE WORST FOR ME I THINK...OH YA...ONCE IN CHURCH...THESE KIDS WERE SEVERAL ROWS AHEAD OF US AND THEY WERE ACTING UP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE OF THE PARENTS GAVE THEM A SMACK ONE FROM THE FRONT AND ONE FROM BEHIND AND I JUST BUST OUT LAUGHING DURING A QUIET TIME DURING THE MASS AND I RAN OUT OF THE CHURCH....THAT WAS ANOTHER DOOZY...IT WAS UNEXPECTED AND LIKE WATCHING A SLAPSTICK COMEDY...A COUPLE OF SLAPS NO STICKS...HA HA

SEVEN JOHNNY DEPP MOVIES IN SIX LINES

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO INCORPORATE  SOME OF JOHNNY DEPP'S MOVIES INTO A POEM OF SORTS...I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE IT TOO LONG...JUST SOMETHING THAT KINDA SORTA MAKES SENSE...WATCHED SWEENEY TODD AND BENNY AND JOON TODAY....

OUR OWN LITTLE WORLDS

Author's Notes/Comments: 

JUST THINKING OF SOMETHING I READ SOMEBODY SAID ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE BEING IN THEIR OWN  WORLD AS IF THAT WAS SOMETHING UNHEARD OF WHEN IN FACT I BELIEVE IT TO BE PRETTY COMMON...PEOPLE ARE OFTEN SURPRISED WHEN I SAY STUFF OUT LOUD THAT I AM THINKING CUZ THEY MIGHT BE THINKING IT BUT  WOULD NEVER SAY IT OUT LOUD SO IT KIND OF SURPRISES THEM...WHY ARE PEOPLE SO SECRETIVE ABOUT THEIR THOUGHTS AND AFRAID TO SHARE THEM I WONDER...

HIPPOS WITH WINGS

Author's Notes/Comments:

PERIWINKLE POLKA DOTS

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i WAS LISTENING TO WILD MERCY ABOUT MYSTICS AND THEY SAID PERIWINKLE AND THAT WAS A WORD i DON'T OFTEN HEAR AND IT STUCK IN MY HEAD AND THEN POLKA DOTS CAME TO JOIN IT...HA HA...COULD BE A PIECE OF ABSTRACT ART WORK THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE... IT COULD BE POLKA DOTS OF PERIWINKLE FLOWERS OR THE COLOR PERIWINKLE WHATEVER YOU HAPPEN TO SEE OR PREFER I SUPPOSE...I THINK THE FLOWERS  WOULD MAKE A MORE INTERESTING  PICTURE...I CAN SEE THAT MASTERPIECE IN MY MIND...LET YOUR IMAGINATION GO WHEREVER IT WANTS WITH THIS...THE CROWDS COULD BE IN THE PICTURE LOOKING UP AT THE PHENOMENON OR IT COULD BE JUST THE PHENOMENON ITSELF THAT ACTUAL CROWDS ARE DRAWN TO SEE LOOKING UP IN THE SKY...YOU GET THE IDEA...IMAGINE LOOKING IN THE SKY AND SEEING SUCH A SIGHT OR AN ABSTRACT MASTERPIECE BRINGING YOU DELIGHT......THIS WAS ORIGINALLY ONE STANZA BUT I ADDED THE LAST PART OF  MY COMMENT ABOUT IT AS A SECOND VERSE CUZ IT SEEMED TO WORK.
