Terrorists deserve ‘severance pay’
~ Chopping off their heads would be ok
A jolt of caffeine and suddenly I'm all bright and chirpy
and on a cold day well its better then drinking a Slurpy
A sip of foamy latte and I grow a funny mustache
nicely served aside a delicate truffle ganache
A tete a tete with my favorite bestie at the local Cafe
just before we drink it, we bow our heads and pray
A coffee perks me up, right before my shift begins
it is the choice of Queens, and the beverage of kings.
Coffee !!!
Playing ball, he got great perks
But still, he's a selfish ass jerk
He constantly rants and rave
Wanting others to be his slave
So, stop being so diverse
We may not look forward to being old,
But there are perks for those of us who get to be old,
Which is a perk in itself.
If you become old enough to be pensioned off,
That gives you more perks,
If most of what you have still works.
But the perks that I find give one much pleasure,
We get in good measure,
Without spending one cent.
Most of the time we get to choose whether
To go out in bad weather,
And when the sun is out in winter we can get its full benefit.
Nobody from my hey-day
good enough to play
in today's NBA
That's what they all say
I say that's because now it's 'all work'
a 'day-at-the-office' mentality, like a clerk
but with multi-millionaire salaries and perks
based on individual stats, instead of unselfish teamwork
Time to pay a small fortune to see
a Chicago Bulls victory
Five tall, newly wealthy men
Running around a court
in $10,000 shirts shoes and shorts
______________________________________________
NBA stands for National Basketball Association, America's
top professional league. The Chicago Bulls are one of
the teams in the league. The average player's salary today
is in the neighborhood of $6.5 million per year. In the early
1960's the average salary was about $15,000 annually.
Furtive, I would slip away
any poor excuse
would do, make my way
across the lawn
into building twenty-two
Secretive and circuitous
I took an odd and winding
route... While bustling
they had no time
to wonder what
I was about
Far removed from
fluorescent gleam
conveyor belts and
machinery-
a soft-lit, silent
posh retreat
damask-lined walls
with greenery
Oddly placed
within the building
inconvenient
(so they said)
a glorious refuge
for an introvert
a quiet space to
clear my head
Oh, the job had
the usual “benefits”
health, vision, and 401K
and that was all just
fine and dandy
great and A-okay...
We even had
our own mini fridge
to store our food
as bitter drama
had ensued over
brown-bag bandits
(in days past)
We even had our very own
stereo to blast
And the HR lady
gave me the run-down
my first day
all the benefits
and perks
but I must say...
she left one out-
No doubt, the loveliest
perk of all
was that elegant
public restroom
in PR, (so fancy
without stalls)
hands-down the very best
job “benefit” of all!

Memories of my old job... where, evidently, a fancy restroom was the highlight of my career! ;D
We're members of the Gardens;
We pay our yearly dues.
Their parking lot, though (15 bucks!)
We have to pay to use.
They toss in several passes
Each year when we renew,
But why make members pay at all?
I haven't got a clue.
This policy is bogus
And another thing I hate
Is on those chintzy passes
There's an expiration date.
A membership to something
Should have privileges and perks,
For what's the use of joining
When that rule no longer works?
There once was a man from Albuquerque
who said he never saw a live turkey,
so he traveled to the East
to a place which housed the beast...
now, he loves turkey breast that's quite perky!
I was a good wife that kept a spotless house,
And cooked good food each day for my dear spouse.
When he mowed the lawn in the summer heat,
I would bring him a cool drink, just to be sweet.
After thirty years we have parted ways.
Now I have a new trail in which to blaze.
I’m finding out that being single has its perks.
I’m in charge now, and that’s how it works!
I don’t have to clean the house if I’m not inclined,
Or cook every day, working off my behind!
I can go out to dinner whenever I choose.
I don’t have to watch a man on the couch snooze!
I can run around the house naked as a jaybird,
And go without makeup, which in the heat is preferred.
Yes, the single life has given me a taste of freedom.
My new motto in life is “love ‘em and leave ‘em.”

Principle Quantum Number that stands for (n)
The higher the quantum number the energy's higher again.
It can be any positive integer 1,2,3 to infinity
It tells us the electrons energy level, nothing to do with alkalinity.
Next is the Angular Momentum Quantum number (l)
It tells us the shape such as a dumbbell
Its values based on n, anywhere from 0 to (n-1)
Just wait the fun has just begun,
And then theres the Magnetic Quantum number (m)
Mrs. Johnsons been teaching this all to us in Chem
It tells us the orientation of the orbitals around the nucleus
Sometimes you stop and think how could someone be that curious
Lastly there's the Spin Quantum Number (m_s)
Don't worry this ones simple no need for stress
It only has two possible values, proving the Pauli Exclusion Principle
Now that you know your Quantum Numbers I bet your feeling invincible.
A s I think
B ack on all those days of
C onfusion, utter
D esolation, I remember
E very blessing that befell me.
F amily and friends and of course
G od above loved and cared for me.
H aving thought about it,
I realised how lucky I was.
J ennifer might be happier,
K evin more successful, but
L ess blessed are they in
M y sight, they don't have what I do.
N o, they don't have my family,
O r Awsome friends like mine either.
P erks of being who I am
Q uiet, bordering on boring
R eserved? Ha!That's what they think
S ocially awkward and of course, a
T eensy bit geeky.
U nawares caught, quite fumbling
V ain, oh, no one knows how vain,
W eird? Well I'm wired that way. Quite
X enophobic, I'm not even kidding.
Y et, that side of me gets
Z ero exposure..No one really knows me that way.
I desire privileges
Of loves greatest perks
Nothing can compare
To the feelings it creates
Fill my heart full
Let me feel everything
All the souls desires
In one joyful plunder
Everything hinges
On loves every bow
May one day I feel it
Absorb its very power
Rusty
When the day is long and filled with hurt
I lay in my bed and remember things that make my lips perk
Like today I spilled hot water across my hand
I remember the time when he bought me that red head band
he said it would look lovely in my dark curly locks
but I thought it looked ugly and I pushed it and mocked
with a quick trick hug, he put it on my head
and when I looked in the mirror my heart had to dread
cause as I looked at myself and I saw him behind me
he was so amused that I looked silly, that he had tried to blind me
with his cute big lips that bared his admiring smile
I couldn't remove that, so I kept that stupid head band on for a while
so there I laid in my bed all covered and spread
and the hurt from my hand had started to fled
that I had to smirk to myself about the past
cause I think without him, I'd probably wouldn't have last.
you've lost your high
and you're hitting new lows
coast isn't fast enough
to keep you on the road
the gears are stripped
and the clutch is burned
the brake doesn't work
and there's no more perks
the signs aren't English
the lights just flash
the arrows aren't clear
as to how you get here
no satellite for GPS
thought you knew the way
so you didn't take a map
not enough gas for one more lap
running out of options
once the tables turned
doesn't matter now
the why's or how's
