Gushing lyrical

Oh man, life is good! Had the most lovely day. Pretty ordinary but then I take joy in the ordinary. In fact ordinary is beautiful. Yay! Did an assembly today dressed as an angel. Involved me pretending to fly, singing (not at all like an angel would) and trying to climb an inflatable tree. Went back to the office to have birthday cake (mine - celebrating it a week and a bit in advance) and open secret santa presents (still dressed as an angel). I got a nodding pet. Presume it is from either Peter (our lovely minister) or his wife Wendy as their last name is Nodding - that makes me their pet! Made me feel very 'special'. Actually really felt blessed. Spent this evening at a meeting - lovely lovely - kinda a discipleship meeting. Peter Nodding danced with me - surreal but nice. Love it when you just meet with people and share. Love to hear other people's interpretations of God's word and see what He is teaching them. Love worship. Sorry - I am gushing aren't I?! Love to gush! I think that it is good to gush about God. Ooooh - just looked up 'gush'. Here we go:

spurt: gush forth in a sudden stream or jet; "water gushed forth"
flush: a sudden rapid flow (as of water); "he heard the flush of a toilet"; "there was a little gush of blood"; "she attacked him with an outpouring of words"
rave: praise enthusiastically; "She raved about that new restaurant"
effusion: an unrestrained expression of emotion
jet: issue in a jet; come out in a jet; stream or spring forth; "Water jetted forth"; "flames were jetting out of the building"

I love the words 'spurt' and 'effusion'. There we go - I am gushing about the definition of gush.

Anyway.......

Continuing to look at my old poems. I still love them (gush again) and know that at least Nayf likes them so here are a few more:

An elephant sort of song
Elephant dung, elephant dung,
Can be soft, does grow hard -
Elephant dung, elephant dung.
Put your hand in it,
Put your nose near it.

Elephant dung, elephant dung.
It can taste nice if you chew it
and if you are stupid.
Elephant dung, elephant dung.

Carpet breath
Carpet breath for everyone
from carpets not hoovered for months.
For if they do then I shall have
the sweetest breath around!
Carpet breath for everyone
in every town and city.
It's time to punish them
for breath that smells so pretty.

Carpet breath, carpet breath,
I really am obsessed.
Carpet breath, carpet breath,
I'm wearing a thermal vest.


Lining the walls with paper dolls
-Oh yes, it's a brand new day,
and I'm going to live it!
