once there was a snake!
he saw a flower!
he wanted to eat it!
but he thought if he ate that flower, he will be lonely,
so he didnt ate that flower!

Snakes don't eat flowers. They only like eating things they can crush the life out of first. A flower's lack of a scream makes it a very unsatisfying meal.

this is actually quite deep. the snake represents our inate urge to damage beauty. the flower, obviously represents that beauty. the snake, though has improved himself enough to realize that if he ate the flower, he wil no longer be able to admire it. it speaks volumes about the desire to reach nirvanah in all of us that must struggle daily with our base instincts to create havoc.

or, this is a bunch of mystic bullshit like the last poem.

cock!

Here, let me help you get that song out of your head:


This is the song that does not end,
It just goes on and on my friend.
Some people started singing it not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue singing it forever just because...

Mystic Rythm (sic) is NO Angus Mann.

wistful sigh. I miss Angus. He was pure genius.

Hey! Mystic ain't as dumb as s/he appears. Where else could an uneducated kid with nothing original to say get the attention of a bunch of witty, intelligent adults except here?

Mystic probably writes down our smart ass replies and hands them in to his/her remedial English teacher.
