Not a good I think only on pre-dinner drinks And the room, my wife Widens her begs me, Be Nice A warning Not worth So I the urge to ask Storm Whether knowledge is so Of a When deciding whether to Her by the front door Or a window on the floor.

My throws me a glance She, like my wife, knows a chance I'll be off on one of my rare but fun rants But I , my lips are sealed. I just want to enjoy my And although is starting to get my goat I have no intention of the boat, Although it's becoming a bit of a -- like her meteorological namesake - Storm has no concerns for our vessel:
Pharmaceutical are the enemy They promote drug At the cost of the natural are all our bodies need They are and driven by greed. Why drugs When can solve it? Why use homeopathic solvents Can it? I think it's we all return-to-live With medical alternatives.

, Storm, I don't mean to bore you But there's no such as an aura! Reading Auras is reading minds Or tea-leaves or star-signs or meridian people aren't plying a skill, They are either or mentally ill. Same goes for peoplewho claim to Gods demands Or Spiritual healers who think got magic hands.

I think that's sick Do we need to clarify that there's no thing as a psychic? What, are we 2? Do we actually think that Horton Heard a Do we still think that Santa brings us Michael Jackson didn't have facelifts?

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

You show me that it and how it works And when I've recovered the shock I will take a and carve 'Fancy That' on the side of my cock.

I have one life, and it is and unimportant But thanks to recent advances I get to live twice as long as my great great great great and aunts-es. Twice as long to live this of mine Twice as long to this wife of mine Twice as many of friends and wine Of sharing and getting shitty At good-looking With on their spines And on their titties.
