I was trying to set up an account online several years ago. I called the guy up and... well... English was not his first language. He set up the account for me and told me it would be on in the next 15 mins. Well I waited and waited and it still didn't work. The next night it still didn't work so I shot off an email. He wrote me back saying "your account smorkle is being on" and so, it just stuck. I've been using it as an online nickname ever since. I've often told people it was an acronym cause I like to see them try and figure it out, but the fact of the matter is it was just a MISTAKE!

who flung poo?

who flung poo?

I'm really fighting the urge to bring spanking the monkey into this conversation.... oh wait... nevermind

You know my ex wife then!

I like mind games. Like scrabble. LOL

it's a moving love story about a man who is born old and ages backwards. Very well done, but it's depressing.

That is a very beautiful poem.
As a poet myself, I read a lot of other people's stuff online and on sites such as this one and I see an awful lot of useless crap. Hell I even write a bunch of useless crap in my own humble opinion. But what you have written there is very beautiful and insightful. It makes the reader understand what is going on inside you in the deepest part of your heart and THAT is what writing poetry is all about.

I wrote this poem after watching the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I was so deeply moved by the love story and realized that I have never really known a love like the one described in that movie. I had no idea going in that it would be that depressing a movie but I recommend it.

I may never
12/28/2008


I have never known true love.
I have known passion,
I have known lust,
I have known sex.

I have never known true love.
I have known greed,
I have known pride,
I have known selfishness.

I have never known true love.
I have known hunger,
I have known want,
I have known emptiness.

I have never known true love.
I have known time,
I have known age,
I have known loneliness.

I have never known true love.
I have known pain,
I have known sorrow,
I have known abuse.

I may never know true love.
I may know closeness,
I may know companionship,
I may know you.

I really like this one. think it's one of my better ones.

A father came home from a long business trip to find his son riding a very fancy new 10 speed bike. "Where did you get the money for the bike? It must have cost $300."

"Easy, Dad," the boy replied. "I earned it hiking."

"Come on," the father said. "Tell me the truth."

"That is the truth," the boy replied. "Every night you were gone, Mr. Reynolds from the grocery store would come over to see Mom. He'd give me a $20 bill and tell me to take a hike!"

Edgar Allen Poe? C'mon! It's okay, but it's no Quote the Raven. Thanks for the sentiment though.

Incidentally, it's a work of fiction based on events I'd like to happen in the future rather than something that has already transpired. Although, I was thinking about one girl in particular when I wrote it.

Alone we sit,
Just we two,
In the candlelit night.
The waiting is through.

We gaze at each other.
The passion grows deep.
Our lips meet in pleasure.
My heart skips a beat.

Our tongues intermingle.
Our mouths open wide.
We draw close to each other
As we fall on our sides.

Slowly my hand
Up your back goes.
Your shirt falls to the floor.
Where? Nobody knows.

One by one slowly
All our clothes melt away.
This new passion engulfs us
And will never decay.

We lay there uncovered,
Bare in the bed.
Each kissing the other.
All doubting has fled.

I stroke my hand
Down the small of your back.
You moan loud in pleasure
As I retrace my track.

I kiss your neck softly,
And your bare shoulder blade.
I feel the rise of your breath
As with you I've played.

I feel your hand gently
Move down my spine
And come to rest on my bottom.
Now I know that you're mine.

The raging within us
Can be held back no more.
You want me inside you
Like never before.

You roll on your back
As I roll on top.
I enter you slowly
But you know I can't stop.

The fever takes over.
I know you feel it too.
You moan and you quiver
As I make love to you.

Our love starts off slowly
As we discover each other,
But starts going quickly
As we go on further.

And all of a sudden
You shiver and shake.
You moan and you scream
With the love that we make.

And after you finish
It's my turn at last.
I stroke you much harder
As my time comes to pass.

And so we have finished.
The hours flew on by.
We hold on to our bodies
As we let out a sigh.

We lay there all sweaty
Our bodies entwined.
Holding fast to each other
With it fresh in our minds.

We fall asleep softly
Right there where we lay.
Knowing the passion inside us
Will grow day by day.

There I stood alone again
As I had so many times before.
I stood there dressed to kill,
But had not been on the floor.

And finally it happened.
She came and talked to me.
She asked me if I would dance
And "yes" was my decree.

We danced the night away
We held each other close.
Never dancing with another.
Basking in each other's glows.

Then later in the evening
With her in my arms,
Our lips, they met in pleasure.
I tasted of her charms.

In that very instant
I felt something deep inside.
Something I thought that I had lost.
Or something I should hide.

We danced until they kicked us out,
But the evening was not through.
It was cold. I lent my coat.
I felt a lot less blue.

We spent the night holding close.
Each one to the other.
We tasted of the fruit of life,
Never thinking of another.

The night was over, the day begun
We split and left apart.
I found something there I thought I'd lost:
The key to my own heart.

And if we never meet again,
Or find it's just not right,
I will always have my memory
Of that, brilliant, divine night.

I live in the show everybody state too!

Damn, I thought *I* was the only guy in KC not into sports hunting and fishing!

high 5!

It's funny to me.
People complain about buying gas for $4 a gallon but have no problem buying a half litre bottle of water for a dollar. Takes 8 of those to make about a gallon. If you get it out of the tap $8 will buy you several thousand gallons.
I KNOW gas is more expensive than it used to be. What (besides electronics) is the same price now as it's been for the last 20 years?
I guess it's all in one's perspective.

It's this kind of blatant idiocy that keeps me from buying American made cars.
And you're right: It WOULD be funny if it weren't true!
