be funny if we were saying
- can't believe that we got sold
be a laugh with all our words all straying
- refusing to be trolled
- refusing to be told
- refusing the lure of gold
- refusing to be controlled
be funny if we were praying
- trying to keep a real good hold
pretty convenient way of playing (yeah)
- just doing as we’s told
got a whole new super duper way of saying
- that the bum got rolled
feeling a little bit frisky
- and a little bit bold
just another way of relaying
- that ya never got told
just another way of saying
- that the comfort is cold
and at the end of the day
- it’s not; it’s just old
this my way of saying
that’s your type of praying
you’re not really playing
it's not a game
you’re just paying
aint that a shame
you’re just greying
but that's not quite the same
you’re just saying
looking for somewhere to lay the blame
i’m probably staying
aint that a shame
just saying
i’m kinda glad

Crispy Cinnamon Churros
Fried to perfection golden, crunchy and so sweet ready to be dipped * Thanks for reading! Author's Note: This is a haiku dedicated to the Spanish delicacy of hot cinnamon churros. Yes, predictably, I've chosen a donut-style food for my entry into Vocal Social Society's tantalisingly tasty haiku challenge, organised by Caroline Jane. You can find more about it below:

The Pizza Boy
This is a special post this week from The Guest. --- "Another pizza delivery boy has gone missing last night. Jonathan Harting's car was found abandoned in a ditch off Carter Avenue around 2 a.m. after he departed from his work to deliver to a nearby neighborhood. When he didn't return for over an hour and wouldn't answer his boss' call, he called the police to declare him missing. This marks the seventh delivery boy who has vanished in the past three months since the first, a Larry Wil…" The sound of the news drifted off as Scott looked out the window to see one of his delivery boys run through the rain in a hurry to get into his car.

Whoaaa, this was awesome! I loved the style of it too, with the bullets!
Truly enjoyed this one! I literally missed a green light because of it! It came and went while I was standing at a crossroad reading this piece.
This is rad, Brenton!
