Spring Gazing by Xue Tao

        Flowers bloom, we cannot enjoy them at the same time,
        Flowers fall, we cannot be sad at the same time.
        I want to ask you will we miss each other,
        when flowers bloom, when flowers fall.

        Inside the grass, we know each other's heart,
        In the future, we will be like friends.
        The melancholy of spring is fading,
        But the spring bird still sings a sad song.

        The wind and the flower daily grow old,
        The wedding date is still far away.
        We will not be the ones with the same heart,
        The emptiness becomes the grass, becomes the same heart.

Is this Irony?

When I retired and moved from NC a few years ago, I lost my Iron in the process of moving.  My job required that I be squared away; I needed it then.  I lost my Iron but since I now only wear shorts or jeans, I no longer need it.
Irony?

Adventures Of Isabel by Ogden Nash

Isabel met an enormous bear,        

Isabel, Isabel, didn't care;
The bear was hungry, the bear was ravenous,
The bear's big mouth was cruel and cavernous.
The bear said, Isabel, glad to meet you,
How do, Isabel, now I'll eat you!
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry.
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She washed her hands and she straightened her hair up,
Then Isabel quietly ate the bear up.

Do you think drugs might have been involved?

This intelligent looking Moundsville WV chap is sitting in the county jail for putting his two children in a dryer and turning it on.  He then filmed it and posted it online.  Sounds reasonable to me.  And we wonder why the state has a reputation for backwardness.

Celtic Women Warriors

Ancient Celtic women served as both warriors and rulers.
Girls as well as boys could be trained to fight with swords
and other weapons. One of the most prominent
training schools in Gaelic mythology was run by Scathach
(pronounced “sca-hah” or “skya”), a woman warrior
from what is now Scotland. The practice of bearing arms
was relatively common among women. Women
were recorded as having taken part in the final battle
against Caius Suetonius Paulinus when he advanced
upon the druid stronghold on the island of Mona
(now Anglesey) in present-day Wales.

Michael Eric Dyson calls for individual reparation accounts

my mother's father came to America in 1916 or thereabouts. I was born in 1948. My mom, her Irish Trash family, grew up poor and "shit" on. I'm still poor though I have college degrees. If you think I will make reparations to anyone, Kiss my monkey ass. BTW My people were called "white chimpanzees" and an "inferior species" by none other than Charles Darwin
