The Road to Hell...

[IrishWolfhound]

I want to hear you read that.

Perky, here is the one I'd like to read to the right audience(although Lukky's would be a close second). It's by Yeats.

The Hosting of the Sidhe

The host is riding from Knocknarea
And over the grave of Clooth-na-Bare;
Caoilte tossing his burning hair,
And Niamh calling Away, come away:
Empty your heart of its mortal dream.
The winds awaken, the leaves whirl round,
Our cheeks are pale, our hair is unbound,
Our breasts are heaving, our eyes are agleam,
Our arms are waving, our lips are apart;
And if any gaze on our rushing band,
We come between him and the deed of his hand,
We come between him and the hope of his heart.
The host is rushing ’twixt night and day,
And where is there hope or deed as fair?
Caoilte tossing his burning hair,
And Niamh calling Away, come away.


I think this one BEGS to be read aloud, especially the closing lines.

I read that one allowed, just now. It has spirit.

Re: Why should Lukky watch out for my

pearl. I thought that all men liked a woman's pearl. Also that all men liked to make a pearl necklace. Go figure! I learn something new everyday.

Peace,
Tulip

Tulip:

No, I for one do not desire a necklace of pearls. I prefer a solitary setting. One perfect jewel to treasure.

Sorry perks, I guess I'm getting too sophmoric again, huh? Yesterday I'm a sage, today I'm sophmoric.

Asi es la vida!

 

[perks]

are you upset with me? I was only teasing you, seriously. I'm sorry, if my sarcasm was too biting.

Call me sometime if you don't know how to pronounce the gaelic words. I'm not an expert, but I know a little.

Not in the least, sweet lady. I was indulging in self-deprecating humor is all. If you don't prick (don't go there Perks) my over-large ego then I'm required to do it for my self.

I love (not lust, but some of that as well) you dear girl. If I'm ever upset with you I will tell you so. Privately, but I will do it. I'm no longer a person to leave ghost words unspoken between friends or lovers. I learned that lesson the hard way.

Now those are wise words themselves. They bear repeating, or restating.

Do not leave things unsaid between friends or lovers.

For that matter, read it again, damnit, and spare yourself learning this one the painful way - read it until you breathe it, and learn something from the Wolf, and from me. Do not leave things unsaid - the illusion that it's working dies a most spectacular and fiery death which cannot help but touch those involved.

Wisdom on the Road to Hell

Thank you, friend Knight.

If you post enough, something wise will pop up. Like the 1000 monkeys with typerwriters you know.

(For the kiddees, typerwriters were machines we old folks used before the great gods at Microsoft (blessed be their names) invented Word. It's true!!!! Look it up in your history books...uhm, I mean, on-line.)

Happy Birthday to the inspiration of this thread, my dear friend<and person I love to tease> Tulip.

 

[IrishWolfhound]

Continuing our story

Happy Birthday to the inspiration of this thread, my dear friend<and person I love to tease> Tulip.

The gang, after several days of pre-birthday partying & orgy in Perky's glass house, has passed out. Mick, the only sober one, has carried their barely alive bodies to the caddy with its throaty V8, fired that puppy up, and finally resumed the journey to hell.

When last seen in the rear-view mirror, Perky was attempting to toss her cookies over the side of the car. Morgy was curled up in a ball with everyone else. And Tulip was asleep with her head on my lap, as I stroke her beautiful hair and softly sing Irish ballads to her.

Once again, the cool breeze is in my face, and we are on the Road to Hell.

 

[IrishWolfhound]

And.....


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TULIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[perks]

I never toss cookies. What do you think? jesus.

A thousand pardons my feathery friend. I saw your luscious rump in my rear-view(appropriately named) mirror and jumped to a conclusion. It turns out you were simply bent over, flashing me.

<shakin' my tailfeathers>

Oh yessssssssssssss. I do love that perkiliscious tushie.

Yummers! Seeing as Tulip is going partying without me tomorrow night, are you free? Oh yes, that restraining order* again. Rats!!!

*See Happy Birthday to Tulip thread

 

[IrishWolfhound]

Mick major huggles my friend you are a dear friend to me. Now I know you want to go to hell but does that really mean that I have to?

Peace,
Tulip [/B][/QUOTE]

Certainly not, my dear. I will leave you with my credit cards in a safe place so you may return home. Any other passengers wishing to depart may do so. Perhaps the road to hell is best traveled alone.

Perky, may I borrow the throaty V-8 for a while?

 

[perks]

Perky, may I borrow the throaty V-8 for a while?

depends what you're going to do with it. No thelma and Louise endings.

 

[LukkyKnight]

I know that must be a VISA card, wolfie, cause you know you can't use an American Express in hell.

 

[IrishWolfhound]

But wouldn't it be great if you could? Then you wouldn't have to pay them off at the end of the month!!!

 

[perks]

wake me up if anything good happens...


goodnight all

 

[IrishWolfhound]

goodnight all

Just remember how I woke Tulip up on her birthday thread.
(Or is that what you were thinking of?)

And no, I won't do a Thelma and Louise ending to such a beautiful car. I'd park it someplace safe with return instructions.

 

[LukkyKnight]

But wouldn't it be great if you could?

See, there's the point - "Great" and "Hell" really don't work in the same sentence as a rule, unless you're talking about something such as great strife, or great pain.

Well, I just see Hell differently, I guess. I figured if Perky & Morgy & Tulip were there it would be fun.

Come to think of it, Perky went to bed. We left Tulip at the last rest stop to thumb a ride home, and I haven't seen Morgy in days on this trip.

Oh Hell, this really IS Hell.

Turn back Lukky, I'm going in alone.

 

[LukkyKnight]

You have confused the well-paved road with hell itself. Woe be unto you...

No lukky, I knew where I was headed the entire time. It was the joy riders who were confused. First-timers always are. No one knows the Road To Hell better than someone who has already been there.
