a matter of cohabitation

truth to tell ... long distance relationships suck ...

yesterday was herself's birthday and i was not there to celebrate with her ... sigh...

yourselves might be wondering ..."what is it with these two, almost three years together and they can't get their act together?"

well...on the one hand...

green card


america america
great land of the free
i really must explain
just what you mean to me
a man may love a woman
who lives across the sea
and a woman love a man
together hope to be
and if they wish to marry
your country gives them entry
the sacrament of marriage
makes visas elementary
but woman who loves woman
you find a tad distasteful
to make this girl american
my god! would be disgraceful
no interest in our love
no matter how we care
in law we may not marry
and immigrate ....don't dare
and so i need to mention
my sweethearts human rights
to live, to love and to pursue
a lover for her nights
your country born in freedom
should not discriminate
the fact that we love woman
should be beyond debate

HERSELF bears as much a resemblance to the captain as the wide distance of the pond that separates us. you not only have a poet's mind-but alas a poet's eye. me thinks that you must have applied a pirates patch to at least one of your baby blues.

as for not being with HERSELF on her birthday!

YOURSELF received a card AND a most traditional gift from HERSELF on your b day. yesterday herself was not even mentioned on either of your BLOODY BLOGs!!!!!!!!!!!!

me thinks that..............................................................................................................................................................................

but your poem, though quite plebeian and certainly NOT indicative of your splendiferous talent was on the mark.

ahoy there my lady, when referring to (she whose name i dare not mention) i was actually meaning the devastatingly gorgeous ms jolie. damn it woman, there is no denying you are not only utterly and undeniably and awesomely attractive, but, perhaps just a tad self referential? if you insist on reading me ... it might well behoove you to behave yourself!
public lashings went out with ....

i shall go back to the bard, zola, and brecht and the like while you lick your captain's boots
