still trapped in the prison of my own devising
the prison bars are made of Self-Pity
the walls are made of Anxiety and Neurosis
the guards are recruited from Society and Culture...
NIGHTMERRIES: THE LIGHTER SIDE OF DARKNESS This so-called "book" will chew you up, spit you out, and leave you twitching and frothing on the carpet. More than 60 dark and feculent fictions (read ‘em and weep) copiously illustrated by over 20 grotesque images you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley.
AWAREWOLF & OTHER CRHYMES AGAINST HUMANITY (Vot could be Verse?) We all hate poetry, right? But we might make an exception for this sick and twisted stuff. This devil's banquet of adults-only offal features more than 50 satanic sonnets, vitriolic verses and odious odes.
MANIC MEMES & OTHER MINDSPACE INVADERS A disturbing repository of quotably quirky quotes, sayings, proverbs, maxims, ponderances, adages and aphorisms. This menagerie holds no fewer than 184 memes from eight meme-species perfectly adapted to their respective environments.
MASTRESS & OTHER TWISTED TAILS, ILLUSTRATED: an unholy corpus of oddities, strangelings, bizarritudes and peculiaritisms
FIENDS & FREAKS Adults-only Tales of Serpents, Dragons, Devils, Lobsters, Anguished Spirits, Gods, Anti-gods and Other Horse-thieves You Wouldn't Want to Meet in a Dark Kosmos: 4th Edition
HAGS TO HAGGIS Whiskey-soaked Tails of War-nags, Witches, Manticores and Escapegoats, Debottlenecking and Desilofication, Illustrated
Now, this one was written just for me!
Nearly fifty, and I still can't get around this trap. One would think I'd have learned by now.
Learn from simpletons how to stay simple! :-)
Cie, thanks for your comments. IMHO, and from personal experience, the more you try to escape, the longer becomes the sentence. I think Antares' advice (above) is spot-on, though not the easiest thing to do. Cheers, MM
Antares, I think I'm beginning to understand why your advice is "spot-on". Though the more one tries to understand, the less one understands. Another Divine Paradox! Thanks for your comments, Cheers, MM
