| Roll em up, move em out. Every day I have a challenge rolling balls of dung Ten times my body weight according to encyclopaedia I hide them in my burrow, sustenance for my young I am a Dung beetle, genus Scarabaeoidea. It’s dirty, filthy work I must admit But it’s work that surely must be done Removing all the countries surplus shit Thus preventing utter pandemonium. Imagine a world devoid of all my species Where every little movement hung around A world just buried in untreated smelly faeces No places left to sit upon the ground. So we beetles do our bit in a world that’s full of it We don’t complain or fail to clean the mess We just burst into action and roll up the impaction We’re an international janitorial success.

But it’s work that surely must be done Removing all the countries surplus shit Thus preventing utter pandemonium. Hahaha, Foggy I know I say it all too often but I should stop by and read the humour board because I am missing out on such smiles and giggles that could quite easily make my day. Maybe I take myself too seriously. I had to quote that because metaphorically it says so much about life and about countries that I had to laugh. Loved it my friend, never stop writing about shit haha | |

Had We But Worlds Enough, And Time . . . | November 5th 2013, 11:57 am by Jamie | I never wanted to write this post. Life, however, brings to us changes of necessity, not changes we want.
Unfortunately, and as evidenced by the past few months' activities, I do not have the time to properly govern the use of this site anymore. While there are visitors every day, the posts by members are becoming fewer and farther between, and the staff participation is just as sparse.
