This week's words:
Easygoing; Fact; Handsome
The Carnival's In Town
For a barker's mouth
your smile is easygoing.
Here's a firstborn fact:
a handsome flashing
countenance like the morning
sun rising higher
in the rosy sky
you fairly beam upon us
indifferent to
our shiftless groping
avarice. We are after
all rank amateurs.
Admit this as I.
Admit the barker has us
beat. It will lay down
better that way as
he, grinning, shines us all on -
but guard your backside.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Ghost
DeleteYou go, you play the game, you might win but know you might be cheated, it's all part of your education.
ReplyDeleteIf you are reasonable you have to admit the game is mainly rigged toward the house so that some will win, most will not, and many will lose sufficiently to more than offset the winners plus pay the overhead. That just makes sense. Otherwise, who would ever willingly take up the responsibility of the house side?
DeleteBut there have to be winners and of them some win huge, or else who would ever visit and take the chance against the house?
Delete'shiftless groping avarice' creates an interesting image in my mind!
ReplyDeleteMine too. :D
DeleteNever trust a carny to be sure..maybe we are all rank amateurs..in our own field..well, i speak for myself..you are a word pro!
ReplyDeleteYou may be an amateur, and I am completely volunteer (though I could be bought :D) but neither are you nor am I rank. An amateur is one who loves the work for free. I certainly love what I do. I trust so do you. We are both at the level that you cannot tell the difference in quality between those who publish regularly in journals and elsewhere and those who do not.
