Job Offer

Post by Lightning Rod » June 23rd, 2008, 1:56 pm

The email was titled: "Become a Massage Therapist"
I didn't open it because I don't want to become a massage therapist
I would rather get a massage

There are two types of people in this world:
There are the ones who say, "where do I get in line?"
and there are the ones who
tell everybody else where to line up

it's the classic case of have and have not
if you have it you lead, if you don't, you follow
but what is "It?"

It's a massage therapist in sheep's clothing
hands-on experience, soothing the wolf

One is rigid, the other frigid
rampant predator and wilting prey
massage your jugular with my fang

There are two types of people in this world
the massaged and the misogynists

I think I'll open the email.
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

Sounds like it could be a stimulating pursuit.

Ayn Rand in the Fountainhead?

I must've been a paraphrase of:

"Neither a borrower nor a lender be."
---Polonius in Hamlet, by Willie the Spear

Lighn Rod, I can't afford massage any more. However it was ecstasy while it lasted! Great poem.
