A BIRD came down the walk: He did not know I saw; He bit an angle-worm in halves And ate the fellow, raw.
And then he drank a dew From a convenient grass, And then hopped sidewise to the wall To let a beetle pass.
He glanced with rapid eyes That hurried all abroad,— They looked like frightened beads, I thought He stirred his velvet head
Like one in danger; cautious, I offered him a crumb, And he unrolled his feathers And rowed him softer home
Than oars divide the ocean, Too silver for a seam, Or butterflies, off banks of noon, Leap, plashless, as they swim.

feeling a little emo today are ya?
My Trusted MOGs
A very fitting choice, Joe.
If I may, here's my contribution:My Trusted MOGs
Jason -> not sure what you mean by that...Uh...Emily Dickinson is my fairy God Mother...I'd appreciate it if you gave her the respect she is due...bro
Michael -> while I always love your contributions, I can never access videos or whatever it is that you pasted here...can you verbally describe what you are trying to convey?? if not, yes, a fitting choice indeed.
My Trusted MOGs
all apologies bro ! it just seemed out of character for you to post somthing unmetal I guess emo is a bad word these days sorry bout that
My Trusted MOGs
it's blasphemy! haha -> no offense was taken, just, I guess you couldn't hear my tone of voice through the web, I was trying to sound funny, but it's hard with plain text!
My Trusted MOGs
yeah sarcasim dosn't translate well through the web so I have come up with the system where sarcastic comments are in italics and cries for help are in bold sarcastic comments that are cries for help are bold italicized! but since you can't italicize here any way there was no point in telling you that. Damn.
My Trusted MOGs
there is a way -> it sometimes is foiled by MOG farts -> you type what you want in Microsoft Word or whatever you got -> copy, paste, BAM -> you got you sacrastic cries for help -> Yes Lassie? WHAT? Timmy fell down a well? Well Holy Guacamole!!
only I'm way too lazy to do all that, so you'll just have to think I'm being a butthole till I can clarify my sarcstic remarks!
My Trusted MOGs
fair enough
My Trusted MOGs
VAN -> you seem to know me pretty well -> I'm even sarcastic with God in prayer -> likely to burst into flame upon entering my church every week, so it's a miracle I am alive at all -> mofo
Michael -> that tune reminds me of the sayin -> 'he climed the corporate ladder...right into the basement' -> now whether they were trippin balls and really mistook the stars in the sky for starfish, although very possible, I can not truly say -> but cool ballyhoo.
My Trusted MOGs
LOL!!! Nah - no flames - he can take it. What was that line about walking Boldly before the Throne of Grace...?
