I tried to work out what it meant:
I worked out 2 or 3 %.
At least that's more than what I've found
from reading bloody Ezra £.

    i'm a thief... and a liar...

    What, like a Jethro Tull drum solo? ;)

    Wow, I just went to change a full stop to a comma and the "last edited by" bit appeared in my post at 4.23pm. May as well carry on editing to create a longer post.
  • uh, yeah, something almost exactly like that is what i was thinking...;)


    Flying --- made of sticks and paper ---
    aeroplane.
    Dying --- is the wind but climbing ---
    my aeroplane.
    Blowing, and going somewhere high ---
    in the evening tumbling down ---
    but it's surely been up there.

    Crying --- want to live my life as
    my aeroplane

    Sighing in the sun's eye, but softly ---
    my aeroplane.

    Lonely, but only till it comes down
    where there's people running round.
    But it's surely been up there.

    Flying --- my aeroplane.

    i'm a thief... and a liar...

    "Still?" Was there ever any possibility of me running out of amazingness? :D
  • Ms. HaikuMs. Haiku Washington DC Posts: 7,265
    No, but I'm not able to look as often as I used to. It's like a coming home type of "still." By the way, almost 9,000 posts, Fins Fins Fins don't you ever study? Let's get a song started Fins, howaboutit? Maybe we could bring it up a notch from the lighthouse sea shanty - what do you think? Should it be about bloody Ezra $ or the book you just read? Astrology?

    OK, my bad. Start a song, Fins! I have to say I was very impressed how you were able to go from Blues to Sea Shanty very quickly last time. I'm looking forward to what you have in store . . .

    Ok, I get it - whoa that was some cross-cultural wires crossed, eh? Write a song about cricket and let's see how I make a mess of it, eh Fins. Do you play cricket or are you a yankees fan like myself?

    Ok, time for a sea shanty with cricket
    and leprechauns singing the blues
    while holding shillelaghs (?).
    You can do it, Fins!

    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Where's the little green guy and the cricket bat? Work with me people - let's do it. Any other suggestions besides literature savvy little green guys singing the blues while swinging cricket bats?
