Sordid Salutations All...
Well...Here is a pic of the new jewellry I put into my Madison...It isn't the red beads...so it doesn't look so 'In-your-face' plus, this matches my lip ring...I am still in awe over the fact that I got it pierced in 91, took it out in 95, and it stayed open enough to recieve and accept jewellry a decade after...The human body is an amazing thing.

So...I ain't got anything nice to say, so I shall just go with the rule...say nothing at all...I still have this annoying querry that pops into my mind everytime I come in here...SO many spoiled brats....When did Upper-class W.A.S.P.s become freaks??(and no to all you 'cool' folks...I ain't talkin bout that band that was around before alot of you were in Kindergarten...)
SO...Seeing as The Newest adaptation of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY/WILLY WONKA is on it's way out...I thought I would entertain you with something from Roald Dahl's second book in the series, CHARLIE AND THE GREAT GLASS ELAVATOR
This has always been one of my VERY favorite morbid little ditty's that I always enjoyed from Thee enegetically eccentric Mr.Dahl. Although there is MANY I could choose from, as you may already know-they are usually littered with...So, I hope you enjoy this rather than a typical grinding rant from me.

GOLDIE PINKLESWEET & GRANDMA'S L'IL CHOCOLATE PILL

Attention please!Attention, please!
Don't dare to talk! Don't dare to sneeze!
Don't doze or daydream! Stay awake!
Your health, your very life's at stake!
Ho-ho, you say, they can't mean me.
Ha-ha, we answer, wait and see.
Did any of you ever meet
A child called Goldie Pinklesweet?

Who on her seventh birthday went
To stay with Granny down in Kent.
At lunchtime on the second day
Of dear little Goldie's stay,
Granny announced, 'I'm going down
to do some shopping in the town.'
(D'you know why Granny didn't tell
The child to come along as well?
She's going to the nearest inn
To buy herself a double-gin.)
So out she creeps. She shuts the door.
And Goldie, after making sure
That she is really by herself,
Goes quickly to the medicine shelf,
And there, her little greedy eyes
See pills of every shape and size,
Some fascinating colors, too-
Some green, some pink, some brown, some blue,
'All right,' she says, 'let's try the brown.'
She takes one pill and gulps it down.
'Yum-Yum!' she cries.'Hooray! What fun!
They're chocolate-coated, every one!'
She gobbles five, she gobbles ten,
She stops her gobbling only when
The last pill's gone. There are no more.
Slowly she rises from the floor.
She stops. She hiccups. Dear, oh dear,
She starts to feel a trifle queer.

You see, how could Goldie know,
For nobody had told her so,
That Grandmama, her old relation
Suffered from frightful constipation.
This meant that evey night she'd give
Herself a powerful laxative,
And all the medicines that she bought ,
Were naturally of this sort.
The pink and red and blue and green
Were all extremely strong and mean,
But far more fierce and meaner still,
Was Granny's little chocolate pill.
Its blast effect was quite uncanny.
It used to shake up even Granny
In point of fact she did not dare
To use them more than twice a year
So can you wonder little Goldie
Began to feel a wee bit moldy?

Inside her tummy, something stirred.
A funny gurgling sound was heard,
And then, oh dear, from deep within,
The ghastly rumbling sounds begin!
They rumbilate and roar and boom!
They bounce and echo round the room!
The floorboards shake and from the wall
Some bits of paint and plaster fall
Explosions, whistles, awful bangs
Were followed by the loudest clangs.
(A man next door was heard to say,
'A thunderstorm is on the way!'

But on and on the rumbling goes,
A window cracks, a lamp bulb blows.
Young Goldie clutched herself and cried,
'There's something wrong with my inside!'
This was, we very greatly fear,
The understatement of the year.
For wouldn't any child feel crummy,
With loud explosions in her tummy?

Granny, at half past two, came in,
Weaving a little from the gin,
But even so she quickly saw
The empty bottle on the floor.
'My precious laxatives!' she cried.
'I don't feel well,' the girl replied,
Angrily Grandma shook her head,
'I'm really not surprised,' she said
'Why can't you leave my pills alone?'
With that she grabbed the telephone
And shouted, 'Listen, send us quick
An ambulance! A child is sick!
It's number fifty, Fontwell Road!
Come fast! I think she might explode!'

We're sure you do not wish to hear
About the hospital and where
They did a lot of horrid things
With stomach pumps, and rubber rings.
Let's answer what you want to know:
Did Goldie live or did she go?

The doctors gathered round her bed,
'There's really not much hope,' they said
'She's going, going, gone!' they cried.
She's had her chips! She's dead! She's died!
'I'm not so sure,' the child replied,
And all at once she opened wide
Her great big blueish eyes and sighed,
And gave the anxious docs a wink,
And said 'I'll be okay, I think.'

So Goldie lived and back she went
At first to Granny's place in Kent.
Her father came the second day
And fetched her in a Chevrolet,
And drove her to their home in Dover.
But Goldie's troubles were not over.
You see, if someone takes enough
Of any highly dangerous stuff,
One will invariably find
Some traces of it left behind.
It pains us greatly to relate
That Goldie suffered from this fate.
She'd taken such a massive fill
Of this unpleasant kind of pill,
It got into her blood and bones,
It messed up all her chromosomes,
It made her constantly upset,
And she could never really get
The beastly stuff to go away.
And so the girl was forced to stay
For seven hours every day
Within the everlasting gloom
Of what we call The Ladies Room.
And there she sits and dreams of glory,
Alone inside the lavatory.
So now, befiore it is too late,
Take heed of Goldie's fate.
And seriously, all jokes apart,
Do promise us, across your heart
That you will never help yourself
To medicine from the medicine shelf.

THERE YA GO! That wasn't so bad now was it? I might of even scared some of you away with just the sheer image of having to actually read such a long little ditty, So...Go ahead...go somewhere where you are needed...where someone beautiful needs pity.
I know who will enjoy taking five minutes to read about a little girl overdosing on Laxatives.

Don't worry...I know who you are...

OOogaBOOoga...

SS

BTW: Is it just me....or are people getting sick, bored and/or tired of crap in here? I see WAY too may people leaving...
