"Despite the beauty of the room, or its velvet voiced occupant, the reality of it all was that this boudoir was a charnal house." -Narrator, Book of the Unlight Shadows, chapter one, Tales of the fallen.
lovely word....................if you're a corpse.
"She hot, she's hot! Ouch! Too hot for that!!!"
It is time to consign the Democratic Party to the charnal house of History.
Where are all your students at today, Miss Slippy??
Gay bath houses & AIDS . . . gay carnival . . . from carnal house to charnel house.
Palmeiro's legacy is in the House of Charnal
He should have used whiz from the next guy's urinal
Read all about it in the Wall Street Journal
500 homers and 3000 hits says
You've joined Hank Aaron, Eddie Murray, Willie Mays
But you should have stopped using, Raffy, mended your ways
Steroids, like some magicians' magic wands
Can make Giants out of mortals (check out Barry Bonds)
But heroes can be zeroes, more like vagabonds
The Hall of Fame was waiting, like for Old Pete Rose
4000 hits won't do it if you have your foes
For gamblers and cheaters, that's the way it goes
Prior to it's 2003 Liberation Saddam Hussein's Iraq was a charnal house
I've started doing volunteer work at a library, and just got home, so I have an excuse for being late:
Dirge
Today, watch them build
the charnel house of tomorrow,
brick by brick,
born in the artificially sterile womb
of those who say no to the future,
weaving a shroud to wrap the next day's morning in,
white with the salty tears
of the unborn railing in the night,
turned away from today
as those caught up in the dream of pleasure over principle
extinguish the torch of tomorrow's home
in the well of today's excess.
See the streets empty of young children -
who will be left to pass down the sight
Of Oddysseus sailing the wine dark seas of Homer,
lost in the dreamy past,
and the songs of Petrarch,
Shakespeare's sound and fury,
lost, like poor Ophelia
in a stream filled with broken hope?
Like the last survivor
who mourned over the treasures of his people no more,
buried under a hill to become dragon horde
when each and every one was forgotten,
and the last tattered copy
of Western Civ crumbles into dust,
and the promise, betrayed,
that Caesar and soldier,
engineer and lover,
poet and builder,
and sinner and saint
fought so hard to create,
who will be left to mourn its passing?
I'm finally home-what a day-
The Plame game continues on
As does the Roberts flap
The 'rat party is drowning
In their own outrageous crap
Screaming Howard keeps ranting
About his visions of hell
And giving what's left of his party
A decidedly charnal smell
The more they howl and wring their hands
The more they look like fools-
Juvenile playground bullies
Who delight in breaking rules
Harry Reid came out of his home at the charnal house to denounce the President's appointment of John Bolton as absolutely deadening to collegiality.
