My dear JH, my cyber chat!
Sometimes you act like a jwd brat!
You may be fun, you may be loud.
It seems your threads can draw a crowd!
I hate to say, mine draw much more,
cause I am not quite such a bore!
If you have something to add,
Lets hear it now,
Cant be that bad!
Thy rhymes are sure
but thy meter ain't true.
Let's all study Shakespeare
then go drink some moo.
Drinking the moo, is good from the tit
As long as the cow does not throw a fit!
To my Butt, the one who shines the board
With your light, I have seen the Lord
Waiting to spend the night in a motel we can afford
With all my might, your light will shine bright
JH, you suck at rhyming! but it was funny
It's the intention that counts...
Ok, Jh, you not alone!
Women also sit on this thrown!
If your going to pee, and hit the seet,
or just as bad, around your feet.
Take a minute to wipe it clean,
so that your mess becomes unseen!
The light you shine, comes from your hind
Your bulb is so bright, it keeps me up all night
JH my love, you just dont understand!
Your are living, under the jw's hand.
You cannot go back, because of the lies!
Just remeber that jehovah is the one who has eyes!
He see's what goes on in the wts,
And dont think he knows that its not all bs!
We have to look beyond what we have been taught.
And its time that we all, grasp our own thought!
Here's my translation of a fragment of Sappho's poetry (from fragments 47 and 130):
And love shook my heart
as wind falling down the mountain onto oak trees.
And love, as in Eros, not agape.
And here's another one from Sappho, called "The Deserted Lover: A Girl's Lament" (there's more, but I didn't know how to translate a previous phrase in a way that would make sense in English... or in Greek):
Time passes,
and I sleep alone.
Here's from a Greek drinking song, by Scolion, called the "Four Best Things in Life":
To be healthy is the best thing for a mortal man
And second, to become beautiful in physique
And the third best thing is to be rich without tricks
And the fourth is the be young with dear friends.
Now, there are different ways to translate philos or phile in the last line: it can also mean one who is your lover (as opposed to a sex slave, what interesting stuff you learn in Greek). So here's my alternative/paraphrasing translation.
The best thing for a mortal man to be is healthy.
The second best is to have a hot bod.
The third best is to be rich without games, yo!
And the fourth is to be young, with lovers.
