Certainly<BR>you go on too long and in 
your grip<BR>one thinks, How to have you never again?<BR>whereas Orgasm lasts 
too short some seconds<BR>and immediately one plots to repeat her.<BR>After her 
I could eat a car but here's<BR>a pineapple/clam pizza and Chinese 
milkshake<BR>yum but Hangover, you make me aspire<BR>to a saltine. Both of you 
need to lie down,<BR>one with a cool rag across the brow, shutters<BR>drawn, the 
other in a soft jungle gym, yahoo,<BR>this puzzle has 15 thousand 
solutions!<BR>Here's one called Rocking Horse<BR>and how about Sunshine in the 
Monkey Tree.<BR>Chug, chug, goes the arriving train,<BR>those on the platform 
toss their hats and scarves<BR>and cheer, the president comes out of the 
caboose<BR>to declare, The war is over! Corks popping,<BR>people mashing people, 
knocking over melon stands,<BR>ripping millenniums of bodices. Hangover,<BR>rest 
now, you'll have lots to do later<BR>inspiring abstemious philosophies and 
menial tasks<BR>that too contribute to the beauty of this world.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/21CF7E5C-8B0C-4106-B9B0-56DE522D69E4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
