Thinking about my Catholic upbringing this morning. It brought this to mind, very loosely based on a true story.
A girl I knew whose name was Scarlet
Had the morals of a drunken varlet.
Each week at Confession,
After many hours' session,
Not she, but Father came out scarlet.

It is true that collegiate deans
All have brains that ain't worth hills of beans.
They derive all their power
Spending many an hour
With their lips tight to assholes and peens.

Neologism is the coinage of the realm.
I've long used this happy pun. Language being language, I could be the first, and just as easily not. But since @susiedentwords.bsky.social is on the platform, she or her social media staff might see this, and tell of documented instances.

If I had to pick just one word to describe myself, that one word would be monosyllabic.

I was never a typical 12-year old girl, so my direct experience of Truth or Dare is somewhat limited. But wasn’t it kind of like pubescent training for the Inquisition?

In the holiday spirit:
With uncles and aunties he bickers.
All his relations are shit-kickers.
None of 'em's read a damn book,
An' when they gives 'im a look,
It puts a big twist in his knickers.

On the familiar theme, "I think I used to date them."
To this world you're a figure of fright,
A demon of chaos, madness, and spite.
You threw my life upside down
With every smile, every frown.
Oh please, darling, may I see you tonight?

I know that some people like sneezing.
To them, these expulsions are pleasing.
But everyone knows,
when it comes to my nose,
I'd far rather my tits were freezing.

My brain, under a constant barrage
of hypervigilant sabotage,
flashbacks obtrusive
and thoughts intrusive--
it all makes an excellent montage.

Won't pay for my doctor's prescription.
At my health to risk hazard
to enrich wealthy bastards,
my anger defies all description.

Though their knowledge of cooking is murky,
Today many test it on turkey.
They'll consult chefs and wizards
On breasts, wings, and gizzards.
Just roast - there's no need to get quirky.

Isn’t it about time Jason Manford got his own (probably ITV) sitcom in which he stars as proprietor of a junkyard, along with maybe Rhys Jones as his heir, whom he refers to as “Dummy”?

Fireworks echo militarized killing, as if it needed further celebration, as if it needed further repetition, as if it needed further legitimation. Congress voted to turn immigration cops into the US Gestapo, and everywhere there’s fireworks.

My summer reading list includes Finnegans Wake, To the Lighthouse, Cruising Utopia, and several other books that can’t possibly exist.

US Envoys arrived today and are pleading with our leaders to refrain from imposing retaliatory tariffs. We initially denied their pleas until their ambassador returned wearing a suit and thanked us for existing.
