Rest assured, 'community standards' will be met

 

Rest assured, 'community standards' will be met


Rest assured, 'community standards' in this blog entry will be met

I will see to this 

like kids see to live beheadings 

& the sodomy of women as the orthodoxy in pornography

On the internet 

Maniacs ruling the world

The private ownership of everything by 1%

The housing & costs of living crises

The soaring suicide rates

& fascists march on the streets of Melbourne


Everything will be 

well, quite frankly,

charming.



Reminds me of an old joke:


so the teacher is asking the kids if anybody can use the word

'charming'

in a sentence


& immediately, little Johnny shoots his hand up

almost falling off his chair


the teacher of course ignores him

& picks the 'good' girl Jane

who responds

"Well, my mother & father invited some friends over

for afternoon tea

we had scones, little sandwiches & a passionfruit sponge,

& it was charming"


"Well done Jane,

an excellent use of the word 'charming'


Now tell me,

can anyone else provide a sentence with the word 'charming' in it?


Little Johnny's turned red by now with the strain

of raising his hand higher than the socket will allow


the teacher looks around

ignoring him

"C'mon children, try your best"


but she has no takers, bar one


so finally she sighs

"Ok Johnny, if you must"


Little Johnny almost chokes over his tongue

with his enthusiasm

but finally gets the words out


"Well, last night at dinner

my sister who's in Year 8, was crying

& my Dad called out to her

'Oh for cryin out loud!

what is it Mary?!'


& Mary answered 'Dad, I'm sorry, I'm... I'm pregnant'

& my Dad slapped his head & moaned 'Charming! Fuckin charming!'"


--


Much love people

as my Dad used to say:

don't let the bastards, get you down!

Win ugly

  Win ugly I win ugly for some bloody reason I win ugly Life’s like footy Playin into the wind Some days you act like you wish it was over Some days you get the word from the coach & you take it in your stride Though you know ur only D grade Who thought you could play ruck rover & play a ruddy blinder Who thought you had it in ya? Not even ur mother Where did that come from? For you to walk like a king who knew you could sing? About pawning ur weddin ring When ur alone You ain’t nothin but alone Just don’t scam yourself Though u can’t get any help Yes I win ugly I like it in the wet Like a 10 year old boy Drawing with a stick in the dirt Go in hard & you don’t get hurt But a wise man once scribbled The hard is overcome by the soft Like stone in water Like watching a child’s first steps One day in the sun Feelin so privileged to have been there How’d you get so lucky? Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Worth the price of admission To this valley of tears Coz every now ...
