Friday Poetry Burst

Posted on 12:37 by hony
A yellow oasis in hell=
premeditated stupidity= A phrenological idol.
The sombre dream of the grey-eyed Corsican
A Brain so small that an animacuale went to view it with a compound Microscope
The wrestling of shadows, a square chunk of carrion with two green eyes held by threads of
gossamer which floats at midnight in bleak old rural graveyards.
Three million miles beyond the limits of the universe where the anglels dare not go
There flies forever from nihil to nihil the foulest demon of the Cosmos

-Thomas Alva Edison
