Don’t just stand there with your rictuses, post something!

Good Morning! To use the word in a sentence:

Second Stage

Rockets don’t keep going up. They reach a zenith in their flight,
And then the second stage starts up, and takes them out of sight.
I’ve zoomed up from the surface and I’ve reached the highest part,
Now’s the time the second stage should have its start,

To carry me more Heavenward than is my heart’s desire,
I’m waiting for that second stage to catch its fire.
I’ll wave Good-Bye to all of you as I’m propelled aloft,
While laughing at the ones who shook their heads and grimly scoffed.

Acceleration will pull back my lips into a rictus grin,
My smile will let you see I know just what I’m getting in.
That second stage will carry me up to my Heaven’s Gate.
I hope the timing is set right, don’t want to get there late.

And so I’m sitting here just waiting for that second stage to fire,
Without it, it is sure that I will never get much higher,
I’m sitting here and looking round, and wondering somehow,
It should be starting up real soon, like right about now.

Like right about now.

Like right about now.

Barry opens up his rictus
Says, “Tough sh*t, the people picked us”

With all the crap that he has sticked us
In November: “Whoops! They kicked us!”

Rictus Sardonicus, also known as Risus Sardonicus is a distortion of facial features commonly seen in tetanus or strychnine poisoning.

In my massive series of 3 cases of tetanus and 1 case of strychnine poisoning I have seen it only twice.

...MO

....buzzard

Any resemblance between MO's and the buzzard's rictus is strictly bitchinus.

I can sympathize with Netanyahu-
It must be difficult to maintain
The rictus of a smile for Obama-
From a scowl he must abstain

If I were Bibi, I might not care
What face I showed to him-
While he plays golf in Lalaland
The outlook is really grim

That “rational” Iranian madman-
That temperate holocaust denier
Wants to bring on the 12th Imam
By setting the world on fire

As I was coming down the trail in the woods earlier, I saw two people quietly hide their vehicles behind an abandoned summer place up the road and dash into the vacant house next door. They just came out onto the deck in robes, hugging and giggling-a man and a blonde woman, and it is definately not the realtor who is listing that house. So I guess the house is being used for a trysting place-interesting...
