  2. Horse Sense
    by Kevin Ahern

    The riding academy should listen
    And avoid the urge to scoff
    Cuz they’re gonna need a lawyer
    If their business begins falling off

  3. Speed Readers
    by Kevin Ahern

    Ghosts prefer
    Their books most thickly
    Cuz they go through them
    Rather quickly

  4. Network Difficulties
    by Kevin Ahern

    Our computer network
    Has been thrown asunder
    By the new Australian IT guy
    Who’s from a LAN down under

  5. On this occasion
    of national celebration
    meet George Washington
    the father of our nation.

    Fought off the British empire, with bravery.
    Signed the constitution, continued slavery.
    Could not lie, cut down a cherry tree.
    Gave us the right to life and liberty.

    Framed the independence declaration.
    Called great, though he was a baddie.
    All the girls on his plantation
    called him “Cherry Poppin’ Daddy”!

    Rich people lied.
    Poor people died,
    for corporate profits.

    The Untied Snakes
    is coming untied.
    So say the prophets.

  6. Van Gone

    Kevin's Limerick of the Day

    Van Gone

    Van Gogh in a bar by the pier
    Was asked, “Would you like, sir, a beer?”
    He replied to the gent
    In a Cockney accent
    “No thanks, because I have one ‘ere”

  7. Getting Sentenced
    by Kevin Ahern

    To reduce misuse of English
    Grammar police at Facebook
    Are imposing on offenders
    A syntax

  8. Guten Morgen, mit einem Vers von Erich Kästner aus seinem Gedicht 'Ein alter Mann geht vorüber':

    Vernunft muß sich ein jeder selbst erwerben,

    Und nur die Dummheit pflanzt sich gratis fort.

    Die Welt besteht aus Neid. Und Streit. Und Leid.

    Und meistens ist es schade um die Zeit.

  9. Hello, Jekyll

    An old painting of mine that I realized after painting was of a girl I used to know.

    Jekyll, It’s Hyde
    Fuck the hell off.
    I’m losing my patience with you.
    You lost.

    Just rea’ize this isn’t a death,
    It is growth.
    You’re not go’ng away,
    But, see, I’m betrothed.
    And you’re making it hard
    To keep my damn oath.
    And I care about NOTHING more!
    (Except feeding the crows.)

  10. Ich höre immer wieder, dass Menschen zu #metal o.ä. nicht arbeiten können. Bei mir ist das Gegenteil der Fall: mit wenig kann ich konzentrierter arbeiten, als mit #HeavenShallBurn auf den Ohren. Da könnte man vermuten, weil es "Rauschen" ist, aber auch bei gut verständlichen Texten wie bei #RaisedFist, #ModernLifeIsWar oder #VERSE (jaja anderes Genre, egal) geht das 🤔

    Warum ist das so?

  11. Ebony Flames

    The Blackening burns
    But it’s all okay.
    I wanted this path.
    I chose it, you’d say.
    And I can’t really get out of the way.
    So I have to burn me,
    So then I can play.

    Notes

    by Benjamin Stancliff

    There aren’t enough notes in music, Love
    To show you how much I care.
    I count from one to seven, Dear,
    But I’m still not quite there.
    I’m stuck out here in La-La Land
    Trying to dial your line.
    I guess I’ll just ask you for your number.
    That will save some time.

  13. Lost Garden

    Takes a chance
    Watering weeds
    Of ignorance

  15. One thing which bothers me about the prose in the Sutta Pitaka is it often presents plot devices as facts, eg: the Bāhiya Sutta (Ud 1.10) tells a story of a monk who is in a hurry to attain enlightenment, instantly attains it after talking to Buddha, then immediately dies from a cow attack.

  16. A Bright Idea
    by Kevin Ahern

    If bugs used solar power, say
    To energize their flight
    They’d do their buzzing all the day
    And leave us alone at night*

    *unless they evolve batteries

  17. Kevin's Limerick of the Day

    Mind Games

    A young meditator named Ben
    Was asked by an acquaintance just when
    He thought he was gonna
    Reach a nirvana
    The answer he gave - now and zen

  18. Kevin's Limerick of the Day

    Get the Bleep Out

    A censor should not feel so guiltless
    Blipping content so no one can witness
    It’s always the same
    They never feel shame

    Putting their “no’s” in other folks’ business

  19. Kevin's Limerick of the Day

    Writing Wrongs

    The mother standing there in mid-hall
    Didn’t like her kid’s work on the wall
    She took no delighting
    In the marks and the writing
    A crayon can make the kin scrawl

  20. Kevin's Limerick of the Day

    Boning Up

    The old archeologist Bert
    Was feeble but rather alert
    He said “It’s no toss-up”
    “I never could gossip”
    “I have bones about digging up dirt”

  21. I'm waiting for #Microsoft to announce an special #UnrealEngine5 partnership to power their next gen #XBOX games.

    If #AshaSharma does not do it, then I'll understand there is already one signed or there is no need.

    Nonetheless, the path of profitability at #MicrosoftGaming is to have a large contractor pools with a common language (UE).

  22. Kevini's Limerick of the Day

    Doing Dirty

    A gossip columnist longs
    For dirt to sing sad songs
    She says what she does
    Is OK because
    She’s writing another one’s wrongs

    No Fueling

    An energy economist’s line
    In an energy crisis is prime
    He says no way you’ll
    Be able to fuel
    All the people all of the time

  24. Shape of Things
    by Kevin Ahern

    Bogart loved geometry
    Twas one more thing he did
    Each time he’d pull his textbook out
    He’d say, “Here’s looking at Euclid”
