A study in linguistics, and the techniques thereof

thefunkyfresh by thefunkyfresh · May 22, 2001 · Creative · 51 views

don't question linguistics, like mind tricks,
veal garlic and breadsticks
my mind just ticks
and tocks like a jack in the box
just a hint of braintease with sugar and cheese.
i can't even swim but i'm sinking with ease
Caught in headlights, my ship writes, like flo-jo my heart flights
making the grade is never the same as it was, just because.
don't sweat the fuzz they're not here to stay
no need for your soul to be all bitter and grey
just another day in the life of your own special K.
a day in my life is like a year in yours
cuz while your fiddling on rooftops i'm knocking down doors
when i see a Question mark, i add my own stamp to it
i stand tall like like a wall and like nike just do it.
i've had the tools all along only you never knew it.
if you raise up the gate i'll pound down right through it.
cuz i'm fast like a flash of cast iron and brass
bruised, battered and beaten, but never broken like glass
time left so short like rope on a bridge
if only i could reach it like milk in the fridge
I'm gonna be somebody, I just don't know who
I hope I find out before i tear in too.

see you guys don't need Trevor. hahaha.

I was just listening to some old-school rap, right before I read this, so I just kept the beat in my head as I read along, using the rappers voice. it was cool.

ballyhoo ballyhooOG 2001

hey! dont you think it should be "tear in 2".

just a thought///

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

as in the number???!!!! what are you CRAZY!?

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

i have to say, i am sick of how when i pour my soul out, all i get is CRITISISM! forget this! i don't need this crap! i'm doing this for ME not you crazy press mongers!!

iwz iwz

matt, i thought that was a pretty cool joint, don't feel bad buddy. we all appreciate your lyricism.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

ian are you editing my work!? have you no respect?!!!

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

i tear in TOO! its a poetic lisence thing...it gives it that "double meaning, yet too deep to comprehend" thing!

iwz iwz

HAHAHAHAHA! YES! I CHANGED IT! I ADMIT IT!

change it back dude, i did it as a joke

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

phew... man, how could you tamper with my poetic genius!?

deanh77 deanh77Founder

matt I liked it. seriously. and if you take it seriously then what ian did was pretty awful. ya gotta have respect for art, even if your disrespect is all in fun.


from the east to the west

nothing is as best

as a rhymer who can rhyme

and makes time on a dime.


For people who were evil,

you must stop them and their medieval

uses of tech that wreck

the heart of the poetic art

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

how come you don't have posting capabilities dean?

iwz iwz

okay okay, i'm sorry. i shouldn't have done that, and it won't happen again. now, should i feel guilty about formatting katie's dollar/gallon article one story up? i took her raw text and converted it into a nicely formatted table. i hope she doesn't get mad about that! (btw, i also saved her original text in case she wants to put it back, i just put it inside of an html comment in the story.)

but, anyway, i should figure out where the line falls: i do pay the bills around here, and produce much of the sweat, but i don't want to stifle user submissions because of overuseing my power.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder iwz

its okay ian, i wasn't serious anyway, it is true that you are the backbone of this site, the "founding father" if you will, and you do deserve respect. But who are you to play God? ... it's all good, NBL!

deanh77 deanh77Founder iwz

haha, Ian, its not like we can kick you out, I was being semi-serious.

We all love ezabel and your efforts. no problems here.
