Falling back on this "everyone has their own definition" of everything stuff is pretty lame, n'est-ce pas?

No.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some books to read.

I thought I would recommend that wonderful Englishman/Irishman/Indian Mr Spike Milligan. I quote:

One thousand hairy savages,
Sitting down to lunch,
Gobble, gobble,
Glub, glub,
Munch, munch, munch.

Or how about:

There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in,
The holes are small,
That's why rain is thin.

 

[Irene Wilde]

Captain O, are you familiar with the work of American songwriter/poet Shel Silverstein?

[Billy Oblivion]

That would be the man who sang, "Don't give a dose to the one you love most, give her some marmalade, give her some toast". Advice I have always strictly adhered to. I have a wonderful collection of marmalades.

 

[Thea]

Mmm, I love marmalade and toast. *makes eyes at Billy*

 

[bobbyburns]

someone's making eyes at you, billy.

 

[bobbyburns]

billy. is. the man.

I spent a long and boring train journey yesterday reading Rimbaud. Very overrated in my opinion; although if I could read more of the original French it might appeal to me more. The subject matter on the whole seemed quite juvenile (admittedly he was 16 - 19 when he was writing) and I think I he made a good decision when he renounced literature in favour of gun-running and the slave trade.
