Why I won't follow you back on Twitter or any other social network

Twitter kinda reminds me of the favourites feature of Yahoo 360, anyone could follow your updates and you didn't have to even look at their page which in a way was good some you didn't want to see.
Twitter of course is slightly different for one you know who's following you and how many are following, on Multiply you add contacts, on Facebook and Myspace friends
I have the same rules guidelines track what ever you want to call it as I have every where else
I fill my profile out I do stuff and I expect that back

Number #1 rule -- THE most important one
Picture, headshot avatar you have to have one I don't care if it's a pic of a bear just have one anything something, no pic means you are either to lazy or to stupid to put one in there or in the case of a few can't work out how
Either way you have to be a relation or a damn good friend that I know in RL for me to follow you if you don't have one

Right that's #1 out of the way as for the rest lets see
Political are you, US politics ? Sorry no thanks if you bothered reading what it says on my bio you would know I'm Australian and I already have Kevin Rudd on follow (if you don't know who he is you're obviously not Aussie)

Language
Is your entire page in English or some other language?
I speak typo, a spattering of German und French (if I'm in the mood) and Australian anything else can't understand a word of it and if I've got to use a translation service for your page I just wont bother
No I'm not being racist I'm Australian we speak English, Aussie English colour, flavour that kind of English

Self Centered?
Your page is for your own adjenda is it, your Twitter only has links to your blog posts, blog posts that talk about you exclusively and nothing else ? Well unless you are a high ranking celeb like Bill Shatner you can wallow in your self because you by yourself you bore me

Age
Just how old are you anyway? Tweets and status messages that say "drikin iz gggggr8" or " big hugggggs" are reserved for those under 20 , if you are over 20 you went to school before TXT'ing became popular you know all your words and letters use them or get your keyboard fixed your "g" is sticking (or maybe mine is)
Oh and I'm not your mother either I don't have any more than two children, so unless you are naturally blond aged 19 or 21 and over 6 foot tall you ain't one of mine.

Do something
Does your Twitter have less than 5 tweets? Your blog empty? Your status devoid of anything but applications? You realise that you are so boring you bore yourself don't you dang it do you even know what a keyboard is? It's the bumpy thing with letters on it you press them and type words
Obviously you can't type anything or you'd have something there
Yours is empty ? Ok then don't expect me to be interested in you or expect me to type for you I ain't gonna do it (see above NOT your mother)

and lastly spam
Only spam I like comes canned, I don't need viagra I'm not that old yet thank you, I will not buy anything from you either, you can even come to my front door if you like doors shut in your face
Flooders same once is nice, twice is maybe a mistake but three or more of the same is flooding and floods will be sandbagged with a little feature I like to call "block" or ignore and delete , if you are really bad it's called report,
call me at 3am on my home phone with abuse and its called police report!

I might follow you back if, you are funny because I love a laugh sarcasm and sense of humour a must, you have something to say that's not about yourself, I know you or knew you in RL or you stand behind me and twist my arm till I do (stalkers not included)

So there we go , to summarise for those who skim
Fill it out, speak in English, be funny, use sentences, talk about other things than yourself and don't go overboard because no ones going to throw you a life raft in fact I might may even throw rocks at you

Beware the evil drop bear

All visitors to Australia be warned
Drop Bears are out and about today

They attack from any tree, dropping on you from height with large teeth bared you may loose face in more ways than one also just might need new undies
Be warned they are loaded with worms, these will burrow inside of you via open sores that the Drop Bear has inflicted
Drop Bear wounds are nasty and will become infected, hideous sores will appear all over your body forcing you to wear loud shirts and white socks to cover the sores

Attractions for Drop Bears : camera clicks including those on mobile phones, the words "Y'all" and "Howdy" and bad pronunciations of "G'day" , loud shirts, large floppy hats and sandals worn with white socks

Species : Bearusdroperus
Related to : Koala, Tasmanian Devil and Trap Door Spider

Drop Bear Repelants::
True there are no sure ways of repelling Drop Bears
Smearing yourself all over and I mean ALL over with Vegemite might work but has not been proven to repel them
Other repellants that may work:: Aerogard large spray can kind not the roll on or unscrented, Carrying a Stobie Pole on your shoulder or driving the Ute on the corro and not spilling the esky

We Are Here

The image there is a screenshot from this map it shows where the fire are which ones are still burning and which ones are under control
As you can see we are miles away even though there are some burning here they are under control but we are still getting the smoke because of the wind it's blowing up from the pole so instead of the smoke trailing out to sea like it was before it's now blowing up here into NSW

You know what you can do with that election.....

I'm serious about this no kidding I don't give a rats any more how long can one country go on about a stupid election FFS, how long has it been now?
I don't know and I don't care, we have elections here we vote that's it done, gone and over with
We've had at least 3 and got a new Prime Minister already!

No kidding am I glad I don't live there yak, yak, tak all day long about the dang thing ... just Nike it will ya (Just Do it!), get out those touch screens out and push a dang button vote already.
I mean look how long do they get what 4 years? Well spending 3 of those years parading around yacking and kissing babies ain't getting any work done is it
Just shut up already and get it over with choice of what 3 how hard is that

You know how many candidates we have? On a paper mind you, kills a few trees for Aussie elections it does but you know how many we have ? Put it this way it's no A4 size paper its a bed sheet sized one and we get that voting over and done with in weeks not years and you have to turn up too, no mucking around here turn up get your bed sheet sized paper and your tiny stub of a pencil and tick boxes
If they went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about it here like they do over there those pieces of paper would get thrown in faces "stuff you mate I don't want to flippin know"

Blood

Dana writes about her world all the time and as far as I am concerned she is Lakota brought up with the ways, learning the customs she is as fully Lakota as you can get but a certain anonymous poster on her blog is saying that she cannot possibly be as "Indian" as they are because she isn't full blood well I say rubbish to that
The amount of blood coursing through your veins of any particular race has nothing to do with it, its the culture that makes you who you are.
An Aboriginal living in the city who doesn't know the culture is less Aboriginal than another living and breathing the culture. The Aboriginal people were massacred and killed too, the children taken away in an effort by the government at the time to 'thin' out the blood there are many half blood Aboriginal people here but it doesn't make them any less Aboriginal than a full blood in fact depending on where they live how much they have learned about their culture and history possibly more. A city dweller wouldn't know the dances, how to collect food or the culture and rules of their own society as they have been brought up in a white culture.

I've become Australian now lived here for 34 years I'm no longer English don't ask me who the prime minister of England is , don't ask me to speak French either apart from hello as I can't but I do have very distant French ancestors
Don't call me a 'convict' because I'm not, not all Australian settlers where convicts some, like my relatives in Tasmania where free settlers (1880's) even though Tasmania was a penal colony my relatives were NOT convicts
and Dana is not any less Lakota because of the amount of blood in her veins its culture, community and surroundings that make you who you are not blood

Jelly Babies

This post is all
about Jelly Babies

The other day we opened a packet of Jelly
Babies, well ok tried to open I swear those packets of lollies are getting
harder to open I had to use scissors on the blooming thing.

Anyway there we are shoving them in our
mouths while we where watching Smackdown and there’s one all deformed, a Jelly
Baby not a wrestler here’s a pic with a normal one beside it

Sometimes I get the silliest
conversations going in my mailbox and I thought I would show you this one fancy
not knowing what a Jelly Baby is. (name removed for privacy)

-------------*** wrote:LOL no but sounds funny!

Ok Mrs. *** (you know how you are) here
is some info on the lollies (sweets) known as Jelly Babies oh and pictures too
Jelly Babies are a sweet jelly-like confection. They are shaped to resemble babies, hence the name. In each packet, you will find many different flavors, at least one of which you will dislike, and so will all your friends. Jelly Babies have been popularized
with some, by their appearance in a British science-fiction series called Doctor
Who, in which Tom Baker (Dr Who -1974 to 1981) was known to offer these to
various people during the course of his adventures.
Despite the fact that it is fairly difficult to do, it is almost impossible to eat a Jelly Baby without biting the head off first.
The Jelly Baby was chosen as a symbol for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundations mission to find a cure for type 1 diabetes because jelly babies are lifesavers for people with type 1 diabetes. They are often eaten by people with type 1 diabetes as a quick source of sugar when their blood sugar level falls critically low.
In 1918 Bassett's Jelly Babies were launched as Peace Babies

More than a billion Bassett's Jelly Babies are made every year
English Jelly Babies ( the ones Dr Who gave out) are different to ours ,the Aussie ones are more jelly and don't have the fine sugar coating on them

And to finish off… a joke and yes I know
it’s a bad one LoL

Q. Why don’t they make boy Jelly
Babies

A. Because it uses too much
jelly

The Fence

Touchy Subject..take2 June 24, 2006

I wrote this last month after Eddo asked me
in my question me
post “Do you have any aborigine neighbors?” and it’s very difficult to explain
the Aboriginal situation here in anything less than a whole blog

The aboriginal situation

This is serious stuff if you want to leave now its ok
with me

This is a touchy subject here; Australia has a reputation
for being a racist country, I don’t care what colour you are you can be green
with pink spots for all I care, it don’t matter what colour you are on the
outside we are all red blood cells and pink on the inside and it’s what we are
like on the inside that counts

I am a white person living in a land that once belonged
to a people who have no sense of ownership of the land, why??? because
they are one with it, the land was a part of them and in many places in
Australia it still is but not so many places now .Aborigines were nomadic they
moved around, they traded, drew maps, have religion (Dreamtime) but didn’t wear
much specially in the hotter places, the ones that lived in the cooler climates
did don’t you?
Then the white man arrived in his big ships with guns and disease
and some strange language, when they came across the people who lived on this
big brown land and asked “what do you call this animal” the reply was “good
eating” or “tastes great” or stood and pointed to a tree and asked “what’s that”
the reply was “tree you idiot” eucalyptus doesn’t literally mean “tree you
idiot” but that happened a lot

Many Aborigines dislike the
terms 'Aborigine' and 'Aboriginal' since these terms have been foisted on them,
and they carry a lot of negative cultural baggage. Not surprisingly, they have
looked for alternative words, and instead of `Aborigine' they prefer to use the
word for a 'person' from a local language. When the Europeans arrived here there
were about 250 languages spoken in Australia this of course was frowned upon by
the government and they where made to speak English, a lot of the languages have
been lost forever only a few words remain
Kylie in the “local” language
means boomerang that’s why every time we throw Kylie away she keeps coming
back

Most aboriginals are poor
because they don’t own anything it’s a cultural thing; they are given
cars, housing and money by the government mainly because the government feels
guilty and so they should too. This was their country and the white fella took
it away either by disease (there was no typhoid or TB or even diabetes amongst
the aboriginal population before the white man arrived) or gun fire and up till
the 1970’s the policy was to take children of “mixed” heritage away from their
culture and their mothers so they could grow up in the white mans way. I actually went to primary
school with someone who was what we call “half caste” If you haven’t seen the
movie “Rabbit Proof Fence” sometimes billed as "Long Walk Home" you
should, it explains the lost generation in much more detail than I
can

The Rabbit Proof
fence

The city dwelling “black fella” may have a few broken down cars on
the front lawn, there maybe 7 or 8 children running around even a few dogs .I
say may have as in all countries there are the people who live in the
run down parts of town and those who don’t

Of course when you get given something you don’t really appreciate it and then
there is the cultural thing too, we live like we have lived for hundreds of
years in houses, in Africa there are people living in shanties and in huts .In
America you have Chinatown’s, there’s a Chinatown here it’s in Sydney.
Cabramatta and Redfern are suburbs where everyone there is from the same
background .The “government housing” is in the poorer areas that’s where the
single mothers live, that’s where the unemployed live that’s where most of the
aboriginals live . Some don’t they own property (on paper they own) they have
vast tracts of land, big houses even fame and gold medals same as anyone else,
not all that long ago it was considered to be bad to say you where of aboriginal
descent, same as it was to say your ancestors were transported, no one wanted to
admit to their heritage but now when we have people like Cathy Freeman and Ernie
Dingo proud Australians who are proud of their heritage .People can stand up for
their rights and teach their children the language or the culture and not be
punished for it, many years ago the government the “authorities” tried to wash
away the people who were here first, believe it or not the “lost generations”
where taken in an effort to breed out the aboriginality in people it didn’t work !

Everlyn Sampi and Tianna Sansbury in The Rabbit Proof Fence

To explain
this further say someone comes up to you one day and says I really like your
hand oh and the arm that goes with it, here’s some bits of paper, I’ll live on
your hand but you can’t touch your hand with any other part of your body ever
again .Would you go yeah sure live on my hand I don’t need it or why are you
trying to buy my hand you cant buy a piece of me as I don’t own it in the first
place I can’t own myself . Then they say well ok then you don’t want that deal
but I still want your hand how about some blankets and some sugar, you like
those oh and sorry but those little tiny parts of you, you cant have those
either I’ll have those and I’m going to have your hand weather you like it or
not. Ok, ok you say you can live on my hand but it’s still a part of me and
connected to me and as I have no permanent housing can you give me that but as I
don’t own anything I wont really care if the house falls down or burns as I will
do as I have done for millions of years, just move, and you will give me another as you have done so many things to me

Ned Kelly

Ned Kelly... January 04, 2006

Hero or Villain

Ned
Kelly was he bad or good, was he the merciless killer, who was against all
authority, or a national hero?

Facts
are that he was a polite kind man who would do anything for his family. Ned
Kelly was an honest hard working man for most of his life, ring-barking trees to
cut to make houses, breaking in horses, mustering cattle, fencing and perhaps a
little cattle-duffing(not stealing ,just finding strays). Many of the settlers
in the area were small selectors who were at constant war with the big
landowners (the squatters) who, at any time, could call on the forces of law and
order to protect their interests. Is this social war the key to Ned Kelly’s
rebellion against authority?

The
Kelly Homestead

Was he the victim of a vicious system; a young man
hounded into crime and whose death fell little short of martyrdom. Even in his
own brief lifetime, he became a legend. His sister is buried in the cemetery
here .While Ned’s body has been in different places Old Melbourne Gaol and
Pentridge Cemetery’s

In his official report, Superintendent Nicholson stated
firmly, if injudiciously: “The Kelly gang must be rooted out of the neighborhood
and sent to Pentridge gaol, even on a paltry sentence. This would be a good way
of taking the flashiness out of them”.

1871 became disaster for Ned. He was sentenced to three
years in Pentridge gaol for receiving a “borrowed” mare. The borrower was his
friend Isiah “Wild” Wright, who inexplicably received a sentence of only 18
months

His mother took in a man named George King who went about
stealing horses, King disappeared after giving Ned 4 more siblings and the
police unable to find King decided to arrest the Kelly boys instead (Ned and
Dan) The trooper who came with the warrant was named Fitzpatrick, he called at a
tavern on his way to Mrs. Kelly's place. He found Dan at home with Mrs. Kelly
and the girls, as well as Will Skillion (Maggie Kelly's husband) and a
neighboring selector. Fitzpatrick made a drunken pass at Kate Kelly. Dan knocked
him down, Fitzpatrick’s gun went off and he cut his wrist. On his way back to
police barracks, Fitzpatrick had some more brandy. He then reported to his
superiors that Dan Kelly had resisted arrest and that Ned had burst into the
room and shot him in the wrist. Even the acting commissioner of police later
admitted Fitzpatrick was “a liar”. But it was too late the Kelly boys went on
the run. For assisting in the attempted murder of a police officer, Judge
Redmond Barry sentenced Skillion and Williamson to six years each, and Mrs.
Kelly herself was sentenced to three years in gaol. Later, Fitzpatrick was to be
discharged by then the damage had been done

The police hunt intensified. In late October 1878,
Sergeant Kennedy, with Constables Lonigan, Scanlon and McIntyre, rode out from
Mansfield. All were heavily armed. On the 25th they made camp at
Stringybark Creek. Making one of his regular reconnoiters; Ned spotted the
police camp and hurried back to raise the alarm believing, quite rightly, that
he and Dan would be shot on sight. Victoria police
searching for the boys were likely to shoot first. One police officer was quoted
as saying “If I come across Ned Kelly I’ll shoot him like a
dog”.

“I was compelled to shoot them, or lie down and let them shoot me it would not be wilful murder if they packed our remains in, shattered into a mass of gore to Mansfield, they would have got great praise and credit as well as promotion but I am reconed a horrid brute because I had not been cowardly enough to lie down for them under such trying insults to my people certainly their wives and children are to be pitied but they must remember those men came into the bush with the intention of scattering pieces of me and my brother all over the
bush...” from the
Jerilderie Letter Ned Kelly

Of course the shooting of the policemen put an even
higher price on their heads, it went up to 5000 pounds almost 50 years wages for
most people at that time

After the now infamous incident at Glenrowan, where the
police even shot at the women and children who the Kelly’s had bailed up,
killing one child and wounding another, one of the Kelly gang was already dead
and Ned could of escaped into the bush, but he couldn’t his brother and another
of the gang Steve Hart are still in the hotel. Ned came in behind the police
lines wearing the now famous armor, guns ablaze to rescue
them

.

The police aimed for his legs the only part unprotected
and then when he had recovered gave him a speedy trial because the Judge wanted
to end the trial before Melbourne cup day
(1^st Tuesday in Nov)

Ned Kelly’s execution was scheduled for Thursday November 11, 1880 — only 13 days after his trial. A massive movement was
launched to save his life; there were huge public meetings, torch-lit marches,
and a deputation to the Governor a petition for Ned’s reprieve from execution. A
reprieve was not to be. Just before 10am on the morning
of November 11, as a crowd of 5,000 gathered outside, Kelly's last words were:
“Arr well, I suppose it has to come to this. Such... (is
life)”

“If my lips teach the public that men are made mad by ill treatment then my life will not be entirely thrown away”
- Ned Kelly

So was he a hero or an outlaw?

My Town....Australiana... August 24, 2006

As I haven't done an Australiana post for a while, in
fact I haven't done a post in a while I thought that this small (not

small there's 8,000 people here that is NOT small) country town where I live
might be interesting. I was going to bore you with details but I wont ,if you
want details you can go to Wilkepedia or the tourist
information sites . Shortened, they found gold here ,
Ben Hall was shot near here and buried here so was Ned Kelly's sister (not shot
but buried) both buried about 5 mins walk away from where we live. Yes we live
near the cemetery and yes our neighbors are quiet

Ben Hall's Grave

Kate Kelly's Grave

Buildings of Forbes NSW

The Albion Hotel, once the Cobb and
Co. Coach depot with its coach watch-tower in the centre of the roof
Hotel
was established in 1869 and rebuilt in 1889. There is an under ground tunnel
leading to a bank that was used for gold transfers.

Sign on inner door of the Post Office
Hotel, I thought it was funny that it says "gentlemen must be accompanied by
a lady" does that mean men need to be looked after by the women, in case they
get in trouble, like the smaller sign above says "in the company of a
responsible adult" ??. I got caught taking this picture , the bar person came out and asked "can I help you" (weird
woman taking pictures of a sign) whoops should have turned the flash off huh

The Town Hall
Erected in 1891 to
replace the old, humble meeting building of the Municipal Council on the same
site. The cost of the new building was over five thousand pounds. Dame Nellie
Melba performed in the Town Hall in 1909. (Nellie Melba is the person Peach
Melba and Melba toast is named after and the same person who stopped clocks from
striking in Adelaide - see poofy wooly biscuits and clock stoppers)

Town Hall today

Bernardi's Supermarket , the
building on the left is Discount Dave's, I suppose it's our version of Wall
mart

yes that's my car yet again.

Ambulance Station

Fire bombed in 2001 the old ambulance
station opposite the Post Office is heritage listed so cannot be demolished , to
the right of the ambulance station is the oldest church in Forbes

Victoria hotel
Hotel Publican's
License issued to Thomas WALSH in 1866. I think the place has been remodeled
slightly since then the black and white thing is a large jazz musicians hat for
the Jazz festival held here every year

Most of the information for this from the Forbes Tourist
guide book and the Forbes tourist index

Photos taken by
Missy Angel ,yes even the b/w one, I could not find a real photo from
1880's but that's a reasonable photoshop job though isn't it

Australia

If you visit Australia you may see some of
these

of course you may need some of this

And a gun

As Australian fauna

Can be quite nasty

Extra Large musical sticks are also used

when driving

along long dusty roads

too hit flora out of trees

some fauna may even give you the finger

So when it gets dark

Visitors go here too hide

Or just too sit and eat

and get away from it all

The photos taken by myself should when rolled over
with your mouse have a name
I hope you get a clearer picture of Australia
from these,
at the moment it's brown grass, big blue skies and heat ...
pretty boring actually

vegemite

Hehehe don't get me started on Vegemite I've eaten the brown stuff since I was 5 in everything and I mean everything soup, gravy, on the roast, in the marinade everything!
Just saved a draft on a Vegemite recipie for Tastebuds ( get off you gotta wait, we don't want too many post all at once) anyway you can look here if you want, the whole site is about Vegemite.
Note: I'm translating some of this for you
See what happens is this an American asks for vegemite never tried it they say whats it like and they end up with a small packet like the tomato sauce (ketchup) ones you get at cafe's and what do they do? Eat the lot put the whole dang lot on one slice of toast, well that blows your tounge right off that does its flipping strong Vegemite is so they go ARRRGH ITS HORRIBLE .... of course it is like that, that's like eating a whole jar of jam(jelly) or a big fat chilli pepper or a whole bottle of tabasco sauce, I wouldn't eat that much at once a bit of it yeah but the lot no way
Look at it this way I've never tried an Oreo those are buiscuits (cookies) I know what they are but I've never had one, never had a Tootsie Roll either those are lollies (candy)
But if someone sent me one or a packet full what ever size they come in I wouldn't be shoving the whole lot in my mouth at once .. well ok if they are chocolate I might

Can I quit translating now?
No kidding thats difficult, even my spelling tomato and centre not tomatoe and center can't think of any more but centre is the worst, to centre something on a website it has to be center (American spelling) it's no wonder I couldn't even remember how to spell it right
Anyway Vegemite its NOT that bad as long as you remember only use a little spread it thin, don't go popping a whole spoon full in your mouth like my son used to do, not if you haven't tried it before otherwize BANG off will go your tounge

Who am I?

A blog topic brought to you by Jeepers
My name is Missy A, subject to change but most times Missy A … A for Anything? No A for Angel only the angel part attracts men of middle eastern origin for some reason so seeing as I don’t need an oil rich guy from AOE I try not to use the Angel part
My real name is Fran or Frances and no I’m not telling my married last name or my maiden name either
My home is in Australia, lived here for 35 years yet I can’t get an Australian passport or vote because I wasn’t born after 20 August 1986 or turned 18 before 1984 (“missed it by that much” –Maxwell Smart) I turned 18 on July 4th ‘85
I can and do make animations and Photoshop up pictures for people
I can do PC help and I have the paperwork to prove it, even though I didn’t touch a computer till I was in my 30’s as all the computers I’d come in contact with before that where cumbersome huge things that seemed to do nothing, I now have a certificate in IT.
I can now rip the guts out of a computer and put it all back together and do spreadsheets and databases and make little programmes.
I can’t do math at all, have to get out the calculator or use my fingers to add 2 and 2 together
I have 2 children one boy (19) one girl (17) they both live with their father in South Australia over 1000 ks away
I’ve done dog training classes with my little dog Linda and won prizes in dog obedience, well ok the dog won the prizes but I did the training I even trained the cat to sit and stay and speak … did you know cats can speak? They can they can say meeeeet and meeeeout.
I’ve sold Avon, worked picking grapes and worked as volunteer at a Community Center where I received a recognition award from the Governor of South Australia in the field of women’s help groups and ran the Op Shop or 2nd hand shop
I learned to weld and do woodwork at school and to drive a tractor, I can’t ride a motorbike but I can ride a horse and I can ice skate and roller blade just don’t ask me to roller-skate I fall over
It says bi on my MySpace not because I’m bipolar but because I am bi, funny thing is it’s always guys who try and chat me up, sorry fellas (no Word spell checker not fleas, fellas) but really you have no chance.
I wrote and ran the local newsletter for the town I lived in for 3 years, totally by myself I wrote articles, printed and collated, folded and collected money for donations and advertising and of course placed piles of the newsletter in shops and businesses every month and didn’t get paid a single cent.
I love to cook but hate washing dishes
My plants grow easily I can grow things just by looking at them
Most times I have 4 web pages open, one on 360° one for MySpace, another on Blogger/Google and one on another Forum site, sometimes even Imeem or Facebook but I don’t like Facebook that much
Sometimes I write bad poetry
Sometimes I find things difficult to remember, I need a re-caller, a mechanism to help me remember or I’ll just walk off into the kitchen and remember by the time I’ve come back.
So don’t ask me who wrote that song or starred in what movie because even though I’ve heard it or watched it I just can’t remember.
My eyes are green; my hair is long and streaked with grey
And you can call me Missy A
(I told you I wrote bad poetry)
