Overloading the National Grid for Pleasure...

Poem Artwork


Shocked by electricity,


Knocking out the grid of a major city,


Maybe I seem to you to be quite nifty,


If so then you’re just as crazy as me,


Electroshock therapy is mostly free…J


 


Feeling a little rundown,


Facing the world with a frown,


Usually a happy person, so much a clown,


Then stick your finger in the socket,


And let the electricity soothe your troubles down…J


 


Running on empty, to keep you alive, just fumes,


Over you does seem to hang a pall of a nuclear bloom,


Always seem to enter from the rear the flume,


Hey take it from me that the end does loom,


Get yourself & move in to a nice and warm tomb…J

Uhhmmm...I love ya, Ed, and DO think you're "nifty", but...errrr...I'll stop there :o)

Down here it's the BOOMERS (read that light'nin storms) that causes black-outs. Please keep yer fingers out o' the sockets, ya hear!

Always enjoy your emanations...

ED -

THIS I BELIEVE - that the black-outs and brown-outs are PLANNED! Just another RUSE to keep the masses at bay, to make us paranoid, to create EXCUSES for RAISING PRICES, to establish a NEED to BURN MORE COAL TO POLLUTE THE AIR MORE, and more, more, more!

Is it not amazing how the government DE-REGULATES CORPORATIONS AND PUBLIC UTILITIES, and REGULATES more and more of our FREEDOMS, RIGHTS, and PLEASURES?

Want more electricity for less cost? More Healthcare for less cost? More gasoline and fuel oils for less cost? More National Security for less cost? Secure Borders for less cost?

My answer is simplistic - like LAST NOVEMBER - another groundswell of grassroots THIS NOVEMBER and forever forward - DE-REGULATE CONGRESS! DE-SELECT ALL EXISTING INCUMBENTS! Put NEW DUMMIES IN OFFICE - the less experienced, the less ingrained in CORRUPTION!

ALL THE OVERLOAD HAS BEEN INTENTIONAL! FIRE THE CHUMPIONS!
Yes, that is a U, not an A, on purpose!

Even RUFUS, with a PAW PRINT SIGNATURE, could do a BETTER JOB!

PEACE... WEED... PEES! TOM.

I detect a hint of sadness in these lines, or else you wouldn't be advertising people to stick their fingers into electric sockets!! Electricity nothing to mess around with - you're in my prayers, are you okay??

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Don't let PeeWee pull you down into the blues, the only blues should be those from the joint smoke (and talking about it, don't hoard it lill'brother...pass it along...)
Keep your legs up and off the ground if you don't let Rufuz out.
