Politics for Poets

Rest in Peace, Rik Mayall!

The People's Poet is dead.

Rik Mayall, the hillarious actor who played in The Young Ones, a cult favorite, has died.

Typical to British television The Young Ones only had a few episodes. It was about 'mates' who lived in a 'flat' in London and were always scheming. The show used to make my friends and I bust a gut. We loved it.

He was too young to die! He was roll-on-the-ground bust-a-gut funny!

It used to be a joke, the name of the shop on the inspection sticker: "Midnight Auto Repair." Who knows, it might have been a real business.

What is the sense in fretting?

Sanity?
It's over rated.
Insanity?
It shouldn't be ignored.
Don't be all judgey.
But don't be stupid either.
You know when people are flipping out.
You don't have to pretend that they are not
when they are, do you?

OK, I've actually got somewhere to go.

how hard is it to use these new symbols in your stuff? Well, first you need to know that they exist. Second, you can just cut and paste them.

I've got a message for . . . Mr Bash (an alias for someone else). Mr Bash, if I use brace expansion with the dot-dot idiom, ie like this:

echo -e {🌃..🌅}{🌍..🌏}{🌑..🌚}" "

why does that not work when

 that you are ready to arrise
and conquor all your fears.
Eternity.




  Praise God!

He told me
he needed to
wash my feet
wash my feet
wash my feet
He told me
he needed to
wash my feet
so wash my feet, if you need to.
wash my feet
pave my street
meet and greet
stand the heat.
park my car
drive real far
to a star
up in Heaven

He told me
he needed to 
wash my feet
wash my feet
wash my feet
He told me
he needed to 
wash my feet
so wash my feet if you need to.

Wash my feet
brave the heat
beat the street
heat and eat
pave my street
poems complete
wash my feet if you need to.

Wake up!

Wake up!
