Very dark poem

Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Edgar Allan Poe

Also quoted in the film "Play misty for me".

Lay something cheesy in front of the trap
patiently wait and you will catch the rat.
It feels the pain as it is held in place.
Watch it sqirm watch it's face.
The trap is tight the rat is fat.
Should have avoided the cheese and not come back.!

At a number 10
You know he's got no vision
In a very strong position

You know its going to hit him

Well he put his big organ on a greyhound bus
and headed up north with his balls all a gush
but when he got there she nowhere to be seen
and he thought was northern was very mean

she said go,go orphy go go go
go orphy go go go
go orphy go go go
she said go go orpghy
orphy just fuckin go!

She didn't believe he spoke to jesus even tho he was keen
to get into her drawers like just like a railroad machine
he slept in a bus shelter for four full days
with his huge organ vibrating and his eyes all glazed

she said go,go orphy go go go
go orphy go go go
go orphy go go go
she said go go orphy
orphy just fuckin go!

Completely untrue.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away".
--Percy Bysshe Shelley

And did those feet in ancient time.
Walk upon England's mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On England's pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In England's green & pleasant Land

So do I but seeing French and German flags being waved in the Royal Albert Hall is a great step forward because as jingoistic as it is we are all friends and europeans now and I am so happy about that. Who wants to fight anymore? These are our brethren.

[Guest]

Bigots!!!

Check the flags from ze fatherland,that were obviously most welcome--because we are all europeans now-thank fuck--in the audience and do get back to me
My local pub is choca with europeans and I love it.
Fuck little englanders!!!
We are all the same and a world without borders,wars,monetary regulation and passport control would be fookin great.

Don't get your knickers in a twist! I was joking seeing as I'm Canadian!
