Dat's a rap
With rhyming flow
Keep on improving
Go bec go

Rap on Bec
Just don't stand still
Keep running 'way
From all those bills

Rapping's good
At escaping
Gather round
Let's ring-a-ding

Brian's started me
On all this rapping
Gotta stop
Stop, Don rapping

screeeeeech....

Lovely to hear your voice on this one, Ray - you old sea dog, you. "Gravelly" is a good word but doesn't quite do you full justice, so the sound comes into its own. Your characters are always beautifully put together, well done yet again.

Thank you Jon and Jacob for your continued support. And thank you kindly Jacob for reminding me of the prescient heroism of Dian Fossey. As you say, a true hero in her fight against the genocide of all primates by that most cruel primate, homo sapien.

I copied this from Wikipedia to inform anybody who's interested about Dian's murder. Almost certainly murdered to remove an impediment to the exploitation of the forest and its inhabitants.

"In the early morning of December 27, 1985, Fossey was discovered murdered in the bedroom of her cabin located at the far edge of the camp in the Virunga Mountains, Rwanda.Her body was found face-up near the two beds where she slept, roughly 7 feet (2 m) away from a hole that her assailant(s) had apparently cut in the wall of the cabin. Wayne Richard McGuire, Fossey's last research assistant...found her bludgeoned to death, reporting that "when I reached down to check her vital signs, I saw her face had been split, diagonally, with one machete blow.o The cabin was littered with broken glass and overturned furniture, with a 9-mm handgun and ammunition beside her on the floor.Robbery was not believed to be the motive for the crime, as Fossey's valuables were still in the cabin, including her passport, handguns, and thousands of dollars in U.S. bills and traveler's checks.

The last entry in her diary read:

When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.

Fossey is buried at Karisoke in a site that she herself had constructed for her deceased gorilla friends. She was buried in the gorilla graveyard next to Digit, and near many gorillas killed by poachers. Memorial services were also held in New York, Washington, and California."

I thought for a moment the picture was of one of those U.S. freeways
seen in places like California. But, like the States, I imagine that
Oz has many miles of open land in between those busy roads.
But I like the idea of an overhead chairlift...like some airborne
escalator.

I feel the exact same way when I hear rap and then read the words to the song. It's like they're actively making a choice to be subpar where they could excel at any time.

(P.S. Becky, prayer hands are not a chubby face!!!)

Ha.

Project that emotion, Becky, and make every line speak for itself. In time, you'll be yelling through the microphone for every word that latches on the tongue, and your passion will come full circle while performing. On a side note, you do anymore YouTube videos lately? I've been working on board games the past few weeks so all I've been doing on WOL is posting poems and the occasional comment.

I used to think "LOL" meant "lots of laughs" not "laugh out loud"... a student corrected me. But "Lots of love" seems much more plausible.

even though we're more certain we'll meet

my longing is mounting in my heart
can't wait to count the ticking time

i can feel the anxiousness....phew!! why it happens to true lovers all the time...fake love is so easy, but true love has to bear patiently...?
