Caputer :: Immanent act of imminent philologist Armón emanates new word
Caputer [kah-poot-ter]
–noun
Leader of a country who has devastated the country lead.
Eminent obsolete philologist Armón of Vila Verde, Carlosterra Norte has phlebotomised the word Caputer, hopefully not in vain.
This word combines the mean/ings/ness of the words [K][C]apo, Caput and Kaput with all the derogatory implications of Pooter to describe a leader of a country who has devastated the country lead.
Examples of this are: Cr. Adolf Hitler, Cr. Josef Stalin, Cr. Saddam Hussein, Cr. George Bush, & Cr. Robert Mugabe.

Fearless caput Robert Mugabe kaput of Zimbabwe discovers new medical technique : Struthio camelus caput!
Fearless leader Robert Mugabe, Caputer of Zimbabwe, discovers Struthio camelus caput medical technique! Cr. Mugabe has used this technique to completely cure Zimbabwe's cholera epidemic. After declaring there is no more cholera in Zimbabwe, Caputer Mugabe is now able to say, "I am happy to say ... now that there is no cholera."
Cr. Mugabe is believed to have developed this technique as an improvement on the technique used to achieve military victory in Iraq by Cr. Bush.
South African leaders hope to learn this technique from Cr. Mugabe as they may need it in order to cure all the thousands of cholera infected Zimbabweans who are pouring over the borders into South Africa.

Whether 'tis nobler the mind vertiginous

Or re-armed Tamsulosin against pee troubles,
And by dosing, end them.

Live Hog
One day, an old BMWMO had a vision of his next bike. He immediately called in his favorite riding companion and begged a favor of him.
"Anything for you." the companion replied.
"On my next ride, I will come back on a hog. Soon after my CS dies, our dealer will get a trade-in and I will want the first hog he receives. You will recognize me by a kerchef on my brow. When that happens, please take a sharp knife and end my life quickly."
Within the year, the CS passed away and the dealer got a trade-in. The companion sharpened his knife and found the kerchef'd biker. Suddenly the biker screamed "Stop! Don't kill me!"
The companion dropped his knife in surprise and stared at the biker. "When I was like you I didn't know what a hog would be like. It's great. Just let me go."

Experience in the streets of Portland
As I walked out in the streets of Portland
As I walked out in Portland one night
I remembered a drummer all wrapped in bright paisley
Wrapped up in bright paisley, koolest drummer in sight
I see by your outfit that you're experienced
These words he did say bold as love I strolled by
Come strum beside me and hear my sad story
I once kissed the sky and must now fade away
Oh beat the drum slowly and strum guitar lowly
Play grateful dead march as you carry Mitch along
Take him to Maui out by Haleakala
for he's Jimi's drummer, we miss him, so long

Scott McPherson :: Bit 'r Sixteen
I'd heard
just the other day
he'd left town.
In the house I walked by each day
He'd many brothers and sisters
His brother a motorcyclist
His father a race car driver
Died tragically
The koolest kid in school
lived
up the street from me
Witty and smart
Funny and good
Theatrical
A joy to be around
I wish he were here
Instead of there.

Light Acquaintance
I have been one acquainted with the light.
I have walked out in rain - and back in light.
I have outwalked the furthest city night.
I have looked down the saddest country lane.
I have passed the policeman on his beat
will grace attain - lift eye to bright.
I ran & filled the road with the sound of feet
When near by a wailing cry
Came waifting across the street,
Left small comfort crying one gave I
Walked child home before falling night
One last knock the missing clock on high
Proclaiming all ways now the time is right.

I though I heard a trumpet call
a clarion sound of joy
Like on the day the mist will fall
returning man from croix
See dewy sparkle golden light
raise from behind the hill
When morning birds shouting song might
awake me with a thrill
A sweet taste savoury victory
the expectation might
the pale in contradictory
the change from wrong to right
Winging out, I'll be touched by gay
to see the scoundrels leave
Ƿ, Shining One, fought God one day
Milton described the heave
Dove's olive branch it smells of peace
O to the sky take flight
Back virtue now, hope no more cease
Make just his turn to might!

Slackens not her tightning hold

How To Write a Chinese Poem
A well-known Japanese poet, Niiro Kyousou, was asked how to compose a Chinese poem.
"The usual Chinese poem is four lines," Kyousou explained. "The first line contains the initial phrase; the second line, the continuation of that phrase; the third line turns from this subject and begins a new one; and the fourth line brings the first three lines together. A popular Japanese song illustrates this:
Two F650s of BMW were made in Germany.
The elder has chain, the younger, belt.
A sport bike may kill with its price,
But these bikes slay men with their farkles."

Rusty F650
A nun who was searching for enlightenment bought an F650 and covered it with Touratech. Wherever she went she rode the Touratech F650.
Years passed and, still riding her F650, the nun came to live in a small town in a country where there were many F650s, each one with its own particular garage.
The nun wished to daily clean her Touratech F650, not liking the idea of mud covering her F650 like it did all the others. This rusted her Touratech F650, making it especially ugly.

Linda V. said, “My husband is serving on a jury this week.”
Near as I can recall the trial was for someone charged with a serious crime - on the order of murder.
“He is going to do his duty and convict [the defendant].”
I asked her why it would be his duty to convict the defendant regardless of any proof of his guilt.
She said, “You can't believe any of that evidence the defense brings forward, it is just to get him off.” and “After all, the police wouldn't have arrested him if he wasn't guilty.”

麼暗 Mo.an: Motorcycle Koan :: The Blockhead Cager
The Blockhead Cager
Two Zen teachers, Guretsu and Gosei, were invited to visit a cager. Upon arriving, Gosei said to the cager: "You drive skillfully by nature and have an inborn ability to learn."
"Nonsense," said Guretsu. "Why do you flatter this blockhead? He's a cager, so he doesn't know anything."
So, instead of running over Gosei, the cager ran over Guretsu.

Temper
A Zen student came to Nagoyaka and complained: "Master, I have an ungovernable temper. How can I cure it?"
"You have something very strange," replied Nagoyaka. "Let me see what you have."
"Just now I cannot show it to you," replied the other.
"When can you show it to me?" asked Nagoyaka.
"It arises unexpectedly from cagers on the road," replied the student.
"Then," concluded Nagoyaka, "it must not be your own true nature. If it were, you could show it to me at any time. When you mounted your bike you did not have it, and your riding did not give it to you. Think that over."

A Cup of Tea
Nakano, a Japanese master during the 平成 era (1989- ), received a scholar who came to inquire about riding.
Nakano served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The scholar watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nakano said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can you learn to ride unless you first empty your cup?"

NO, it DOESN'T work!
If a bicycle or motorcycle doesn't trigger it, then it doesn't work.
That is the definition of it working (both a bicycle and a motorcycle should trigger it), as a rule if something doesn't meet the definition of it working then it is considered to not work, duh‽
Further typical DOT responses along lines of "Well we don't have anything to check it with, why don't you bring your (bicycle, motorcycle, scooter, fill in the blank)".
Maybe if you need to test it to work with a bicycle or motorcycle, you should have a typical bike available for testing instead of using your DOT TEN TON TRUCK!

water tugging down
flowed by wrist full
my toy boat caught there
momentum in time
yearning to be passed
pushing past,
forking past,
down stream.

Early Mourning
Through mist i
Thought I saw you standing by the river
Watching geese
Paddling & swiming
Noisily living
Eating & honking
Waddling up the riverbank
Mist cleared, you're gone.

The Seventh Commandment
I find it hard to resist breaking the seventh commandment sometimes. How about you‽
7. Do not mix sacrificial blood with leavened bread.
7. Do not mix sacrificial blood with leavened bread.
Thorough Leaving
No portage to kettlehole
in Concord's tree domain
No walking to Wachusett
wilt now let us roam Maine

As twilight leaves the sun set day
As twilight leaves the sun set day
I would tarry on my way
to darker realms of sunless night
live and struggle as I might
the spinning globe of time goes round
silence takes away all sound
and if in slumber I repose
answer only God that knows.
—Harmon Ronaldson

Liberty Fire
None bear the torch of liberty
who'd protect us from its flames
by extinguishing its fire!
