Begin the Beguine!
By L. Don Oliver

A flight of scavengers,
Circling above my house;
I Can't smell any odor,
Perhaps an unlucky mouse;

Their choice of my abode,
This I may never know;
Soaring in their little circle,
As around and around they go;

Slowly they begin descending,
Espying their apparent wrath;
Realizing upon their approach,
It's time to take a bath;

Nature's Nectar!
By L. Don Oliver

Storm clouds appear,
Awakening one's fear,
Building upon it's way;
The lightening streaks,
The thunder shrieks,
Complaining along it's sway;
The winds twirl,
The clouds swirl,
Rampaging over the plain;
The nectar descends,
To what depends,
Upon the falling rain;
The flowers grow,
The streams flow,
Down the mountain side,
The rivers explore,
To the ocean's shore,
Where the sea birds abide;
The Solar insist,
Of the morning mist,
To gather in the sky,
Nature's Nectar will fall,

Swampyville's - Ask the Politically Correct!

Question: While thumbing through
the New Age Dictionary of Political
Correctness, I came across some
terminology that confused me. It had
a definition of a female storm
as a herricane and a male storm as
a himmicane. isn't that politically
incorrect. What should I Do?

Intellectual Resolution: Use the
definition of both. It's called a
"Themicane"; which is gender neutral!

IT IS BETTER TO BOARD THE LEFT SIDE
OF A SHIP AND LIVE, THAN IT IS TO FALL
OFF THE RIGHT SIDE AND DROWN!

Intellectually Unresolved (Question):

In that I'm satisfactorily deprived (pissed off) and
progressives say that I'm fragrantly challenged
(stink) and believe little that I see and nothing that
I hear, what should I do?

Intellectual Resolution (Answer):

Join the TEA party; they too, are all reality
challenged (insane)!

ASK THE POLITICALLY CORRECT!

Question? I've lost faith in the media and in the last
election I didn't vote for either the Democrats or the
Republicans (I've also lost faith in both of them).
What does that make me?

(ignorant) in need of a cognitive accommodation (brain
washing) re-education program.

Ask the Politically Correct!

Question (Intellectually Unresoluted): Will I
get in trouble if I display a decorated Holiday
tree in the front window of my house?
