Being on holidays meant which we have a lot of time. Transit Lounges have been a single of a many dull places in a world. Despite a most appropriate efforts of airlines to ply we with free alcohol as well as food as well as internet entrance as well as a strong coming of luxury, lounges sojourn a place of abject misery. Filled by earnest looking people, brimming with self importance, droning in monotony with a clarity of humour of a rhinoceros. Maybe it is a time section changes or perfect depletion plus a enterprise to arrive during my end without a benefit of a teleporter, i gait around as well as wish which a tiny hole in a latrine would be my saviour, a tiny crack in a time space continuum where i could yield in an arrive during my end in an instant. Anything to escape a excruciation of airline lounges as well as airports.
During a single of a sojourns, we begin to google for a communication of Ogden Nash. Often humorous, as well as with droll clarity of rhyme, it is always a collect me up. we found a tiny gem which we would similar to to share with we guys on a Saturday.
Curl Up as well as Diet
Some ladies fume as well most as well as a little ladies splash as well most as well as a little ladies pray as well much,
But all ladies consider which they import as well much.
They may be slim as a sylph or a dryad,
But usually let them on a scales as well as they embark on a woeful jerremiad;
No make a difference how low a figure needle happens to touch,
They always explain it is during least 5 pounds as well much;
No make a difference how emaciated to we a lady's structure of a body seemeth;
She describes herself as Leviathan or Behemoth;
To a universe she may appear slinky as well as feline,
But she inspects herself in a mirror as well as cries Oh, we demeanour similar to a sea ! lion;
Yes, she tells we she is growing into a shape of a sea cow or manatee,
And if we contend No, my dear, she says we have been usually fibbing to make her feel better, as well as if we contend Yes, my dear, we harm her vanity.
And in any case her eyes flow similar to faucets,
And she goes out as well as buys a little new caucets.
Once on a time there was a girl more pleasing as well as smart as well as desirable than tongue can tell,
And she is right away a dangerous raving maniac in a padded cell,
And a first denote her friends as well as relatives had which she was mentally overwrought
Was a single day when she said we import a hundred as well as twenty-seven, which is exactly what we ought.
Oh, often we am haunted
By a suspicion which somebody might a little day find a diet which would let ladies revoke usually as most as they wanted,
Because we consternation if there is a woman in a universe strong-minded enough to shed ten pounds or twenty,
And contend There now, That's plenty;
And we fear me a single ten-pound detriment would usually awaken a longing for another,
So it wouldn't do any great for ladies to get their ambition as well as demeanour similar to somebody's fourteen-year-old brother,
Because, having achieved this with ease,
They would next want to demeanour similar to somebody's fourteen-year-old hermit in a last stages of a little obscure disease,
And a more success we have a more we want to get of it,
So afterwards their idea would be to demeanour similar to somebody's fourteen-year-old brother's ghost, or rsther than not a spook itself, which is fairly solid, but a conformation of it,
So we consider it is really nice to be buoyant as well as lissome,
But not so most so which we cut yourself if we happen to welcome or kissome
