@Netraven Ha ha! You found a home for so many of them.
@brianbilston words are structure is life. When I stop breathing, they breathe on in my place.

@capnthommo These lines provide more questions than answers.
@brianbilston well every bit of research just opens up a whole lot more questions

@brianbilston
I think the problem is they don’t rhyme.

Carter called again today, enquiring of his ladder
Each time he comes around for it, he's angrier and madder
It was his father's pride and joy, his grandpa's treasure too
He'll rip your heart out when he learns you dropped it in the loo!And why'd you choose to use the ultra full-strength bleach?
Ensuring that restoring it was now quite out of reach.Why start with the biggest part, to try a new technique?
That acid did not leach the bleach, it made the ladder weak.What made you choose "Remove the screws", as the next thing to try?
There is no doubt, Carter finds out, and you are gonna die!And trying to burn the acid out! Well that was really dumb!
When Carter knows, well, I suppose he'll knock you on your bum.A chainsaw now? That's not the tool for fixing massive burns!
I do not plan to be near here, when Carter next returns!That YouTube short was just AI, there are no real-life hacks
For assembling a pile of chips by hitting with an axe
If I were you I'd sweep that pile of splinters off the floor
That booming sound, I guess, is Carter pounding at your door. -
@brianbilston thank you for the allowance to use your scraped ideas as inspiration.



@AnnaSaultron You’re very welcome

I am a bowl, chipped at the rim
you snag on me
scratched, sore
but still you sip
the heat
the salt
you spin me to a smoother spot
and try again@freedom_baird Terrific

@emmadavidson Ha! At least they will be there in the records for future generations of political historians to ponder over.
