spartans

by omegapaf

when did you fall from the golden hall
for it was a long fall
we used to be very tall

300 spartans are awaiting the bugle's call.

( for a friend of mine in greece )

    a lot of the economies in southern rurope are on the point of collapse. i knew the euro would never work. he is a she by the way.
    some people in greece are living on the streets and the suicide rate has trebled. strange how the german banks are still making enormous profits...hmmmmmm...i think i smell a rat - paul and the warrior hound.

    thanks little star. i do tend to cut my poems to the bare minimum lately. i could have rambled on about europeon economic policy, but i thought that was about it really. because spartan has another meaning of course. to quote the oxford english dictionary. spartan - " strict or simple. with no luxuries ".

    " shyness is nice, but shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like to " ask - the smiths.

G'day Paul...
I heard the bugle Paul. Melbourne is either the second or third most populated Greek city...the way things are going it might rise to the top. I think the Greeks in Melbourne have their hands over their ears. Great message in so few words.

    " we are just dust in the wind " - socrates.

    so the germans decided to buy europe, instead of conquering it. i'm not racist at all, but maybe nuking the german banks might help ha ha.
    - aaawwwww europe is screwed...when is the next plane to melbourne? - paul and the portable hound.
