Not a good start I We're only on pre-dinner And the room, my wife her eyes Silently me, Be Nice A matrimonial Not ignoring So I resist the urge to ask knowledge is so loose-weave Of a deciding whether to leave Her apartment by the door Or a window on the floor.

I just want to enjoy my And although Storm is to get my goat I have no intention of the boat, Although it's becoming a bit of a Because -- like her meteorological - Storm has no concerns for our vessel:
Pharmaceutical companies are the They drug dependency At the cost of the remedies That are all our bodies are immoral and driven by greed. Why take herbs can solve it? Why use When homeopathic Can it? I think time we all return-to-live natural medical alternatives.

said it first: ''There are things in heaven and earth exist in your philosophy'' Science is just how trained to look at reality, It doesn't love or spirituality. How does science psychics? Auras; the the power of prayer?
I'm becoming I'm staring, I'm like a rabbit trapped In the blinding headlights of crap. it's the Hamlet she just mis-quothed Or the fifh glass of wine I quaffed But my diplomacy dike And the arsehole held by its stones Can be held back no
Look , Storm, I don't to bore you But there's no thing as an aura! Reading is like reading minds Or tea-leaves or or meridian lines These people aren't a skill, They are lying or mentally ill. goes for peoplewho claim to hear Gods demands Or Spiritual healers who think they've got hands.

"Wow, a good point, let me think for a bit" Oh wait, my mistake, its bullshit. Science adjusts it's views based on observed Faith is the of observation so that Belief can be preserved. If you me That, say, works, Then I change my mind I will on a fucking dime be embarrassed as hell, But I will run the streets yelling Its a miracle! physics and bin it! has memory!

I have one life, and it is short and But to recent scientific advances I get to live twice as long as my great great great uncles-es and aunts-es. Twice as long to live this life of as long to love this wife of mine Twice as many years of and wine Of sharing curries and shitty At good-looking fairies on their spines And on their titties.
