demons inside me lie awake at night
thinking of you
demons inside me dance
wanting to dip you
demons inside me, hungrily
wanting to eat you
demons inside me whisper
on one shoulder
angels on the other
about to have halos tarnished

(inspired by a line in Tinkertink69's latest epic post ... but it's NOT about him- I just got the line stuck in my head and this seemed like the only way to get it out!)

just glad you didn't decide to mark it as your territory, Tink.

I'd be right over with the holy water, Cin, but I think Tink drank it.

Dave - I suggested to Tink that plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery, but now I am reminded that puns are.

Nicely done, you devil.

I just served my demons breakfast and sent them to soccer practice.

Pilgrim: Perhaps I was possessed by Tink?
Robin: angels kissing demons? wow... hot!
patricia: hope springs eternal
Linnnn: demons become angels after soccer?

When you say "dip" you are still referring to dance, not the next line with all the eating? Just checking. :)

Yep. I have instructed coach to run the beelzebub out of them so they are pliant and cooperative this afternoon. Tah!

After the first two or three times that I offered my demons cookies and milk, they just disappeared.

Now I just give the cookies and milk to Tink....... Demons hate Tink. He rubs their bellies and makes them giggle. Demons hate giggling. It's really hard to make folks do naughty things when you're giggling.

All hail "tinkerertink".... The exorcist of OS.

Linda: and here I thought you had monkeys(everyone knows only hamsters give true high speed)
Oryoki: a poet should never provide interpretation of what the poem means to the reader
Linnnn: I hope you get them back halos aglow
sky: Tink works for milk and cookies? cool
jali: maybe I am whole though tarnished already?
