Neil's Fiction

"Damsels! That's where it's at. A source of good pleasure, You can't go wrong with that-- Good bodily pleasure. "Voluptuous and shapely, Silky, smooth, rapturous, A beauty for to see; To feel lips, breast luscious. "This is so paradise, But they come with hang-up. That is matrimony; Women do tie you up. "But that don't stop me, no. My eyes wander o'er there, And o'er there should I go? Yes! My woman won't care. "'Cause I go on the sly. I sneak here, I sneak there, Fulfill my lust so high! I roam...

"Let's face it 'bout the globe. It does not play me fair, So I must scratch and probe For advantage and lair. "With wealth, I can bribe courts, Make men do my bidding. With knowledge, I extort; Loot, power most fitting! "Why do things honest way? Too wrought with a setback. Others forge ahead fray. They don't bide the rules, Jack! "So I too must cheat. 'Tis to survive this life And quench penury heat. True life does not suffice. "When I game, I rig lots. They will fall my way then. By fate, I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

Bad: black cats that are stray, Cross your path, make sadder. "Counsels of thirteen: bad. That last man is a jinx. Cursed then, decisions mad. Disaster comes; it stinks. "If crops fail quite often, Take virgin, cast in flames. Then bad luck spell broken. Crops grow and no more blame. "For guidance, I seek stars, Not You; sky sets motion. Signs...

"Wealth: baubles, silver, gold, Diamonds, rubies, fine stones. These compose life that's bold And grand, more than mere bones. "To have a glint in eyes Should not be wrong, no way. Bounty brings prestige prize, Leisure to afford, lay. "Any means to attain wealth I will, whether to sweat, Or to cheat, use keen stealth, 'Tis well worth it, you bet! "Some there are too content. I prefer ambition. Good works is not intent But means for gold bullion. "I gather medallions, Jump in them for my bath. I... Sign in to see full entry.

"Gather I with pure saints, Be restrained, Be lily white? Not them that way, I ain't, But with those of the night. "We drink and carouse, hell! Carefree: we have freedom. If we fight, bust, oh, well! We croon and then hurl plums. "We drink and let things flow. Let loose, I say, raving! It's fun to see them go, How they go a-raging! "With abandon we wage, We gamble, we throw lots.

"Eat it up, throw it up, I will! If not cast down. Eat, eat, indulge with sup. So what if You do frown. "To snarf is a pleasure. Stop when stomach's full? No. That's no way to measure. Keep going, put on show. "Win the wild boar eating contest. Eat, crave the next bite. With food comes a great fest, Puts social feel to height. "It's a chance to wager Who can eat and drink more.

"Blasted! This ought not be! So unequal what's seen, Those darn better than me, Those with more gifts and means. "You tease me and cast me Into random camel drool. Why create me to be Second best or mere fool? "I think in being made, I should be made the best, But you make a club a spade. Put down low--you call blessed. "I am bugged without end. My son claims rains will fall. He tells me: 'Prepare, bend Over to work on holds, stalls.' "I know more; he knows nil. Rains fall not; never have. He... Sign in to see full entry.

"I look out and I see.... I sure am not impressed. Too many defectives. I laugh if this Your best. "Men like me in decay. We're aging and dying. Freaks and disease come, always, Suffering and crying. "For fertile wombs, no stops On how many runts produced. Folks too many, not crops. Clans in pain, I deduce. "Nature too has its lacks. Some trees die when too dense. Rare birds eaten by cats.

"Ah, to fly oh so high On wings pterodactyl. I risk body, limb, mine. Full life means, all tackled. " To breathe and know I live, To venture daring stunts, To wonder what does give, Death or life, that's life blunt.
