An attempt at creativity

[martin]

I can’t do what most people do
And despite asking I cannot find why
I like it at the start
But not at the end
“before they went commercial” is oft my cry

I can’t do what most people do
Please don’t all come and populate my fun
Its so much better when
You find your own track
Than rely on the road that someone begun

I won’t do what most people do
Won’t “do” the world collecting some places
I never lost myself
So no need to find
That life in the mainstream has so few graces

I won’t do what most people do
Won’t stand on a board and trample the sea
I enjoy it much more
When kneeling and low
I, penitent, thank the kami that bore me

I do do what most people do
I stand here and claim my singular visions
That my life is unique
Ironically though
It’s the most common of human ambitions

Any response to that is going to look pretty weak but I'll go first. Accept an uncreative thanks for your verses. Sometimes we do have to give the finger to the mainstream, like when it turns on you.

[Headwax.]

wonderful irony in that last stanza martin

[gumby]

The deeper you go
when you pull in
just be who you are
is were to begin

[Headwax.]

ahh I feel a winter surf pseudo haiku coming on:

Frozen earwax,
crust upon the deck.
Dandruff flutters;
snowflake jacaranda.

PseudoOde to Don Harris

Oh Don, oh Don,
where can thou be?
I have an ancient knee board,
A'waiting for thee.

[gumby]

I carve a turn bent at the knee
Look for the lip some were above me
under it I'm begining to grin
A few more waves like this
Then I will never go in




Thanks Martin

[Bintang Bob]

roses are red
violets are blue
kneeboarding poets
ride barrels deeper than you

thank you, thank you, thank you very much....

he he - me like

Mr Wax - irony is good - can't ever get enough.

Isn't it ironic by alannis morrisette - every example quoted by singer is not ironic - rain on your wedding day, free ride when you've already paid etc etc. The fact that none of it is irony is the only ironic bit of the song!

I'd better take some more of those dried frog pills

[Headwax.]

Good stuff Martin

irony is like a razor blade hidden in a tub of slighty melted Vanilla icecream that, deep down, you know you shouldn't be eating, but can't for the life of you remember why....

Hullo Beeline

long time no type

As far as the chin guard, spitle catcher utility I'm wearing?

It's for neither I'm afraid: I will admit however that, initially, it was to catch the icecream drips from the half defrosted tub; latterly it was to catch the blood brought on by the hidden razor blade.

Oh if only I was more of a clot

all thruster/tri riders are a fin short of the wave of life












































er....sorry.....I just ran off to fetch the bucket to put any irony that falls my way in

[Beeline2.0]

[john -]

that would have to be a 'rust bucket'

salty but true












ps: (a cultural exchange) not sure about the US of A but down here a rust bucket is commonly the "old car"

[Headwax.]

aggh

you guys are "Crackinmeup" (small town south of Perth-em-up, wa)

BTW Dorje, little bit of irony for you, Dorje backwards is (as you know) Ejrod, (Ej Rod) a small device utilised by the Spanish Inquisition during the 13 hundreds for roilling the tongue back and so stopping the torturee from soliciting sympathy from the torturer.

Kinda like the opposite of a Buddhist epiphany soliciting device.

sorry about the thread Martin, but we are carrying on the "attemtping to be creative" bit

cheers

pS little landscape for you
