[Silly Sausage]

Well hey there, welcome to the Cafe :wave:

This is an intro thread for you if you feel like saying hi and telling us something about yourself.

That's an interesting username you have, does it mean anything special, a title from a book/poem etc?

[Politesse]

i sing of Olaf glad and big
by e. e. cummings

i sing of Olaf glad and big
whose warmest heart recoiled at war:
a conscientious object-or

his wellbelovéd colonel(trig
westpointer most succinctly bred)
took erring Olaf soon in hand;
but--though an host of overjoyed
noncoms(first knocking on the head
him)do through icy waters roll
that helplessness which others stroke
with brushes recently employed
anent this muddy toiletbowl,
while kindred intellects evoke
allegiance per blunt instruments--
Olaf(being to all intents
a corpse and wanting any rag
upon what God unto him gave)
responds,without getting annoyed
"I will not kiss your fucking flag"

straightway the silver bird looked grave
(departing hurriedly to shave)

but--though all kinds of officers
(a yearning nation's blueeyed pride)
their passive prey did kick and curse
until for wear their clarion
voices and boots were much the worse,
and egged the firstclassprivates on
his rectum wickedly to tease
by means of skilfully applied
bayonets roasted hot with heat--
Olaf(upon what were once knees)
does almost ceaselessly repeat
"there is some shit I will not eat"

our president,being of which
assertions duly notified
threw the yellowsonofabitch
into a dungeon,where he died

Christ(of His mercy infinite)
i pray to see;and Olaf,too

preponderatingly because
unless statistics lie he was
more brave than me:more blond than you.

Welcome, Olaf! I've got issues with kissing fucking flags, too.

Hi and welcome.

[ISingofOlaf]

Hello everyone, and thank you for the welcome!

Politesse has hit the nail square on the head. It's a favorite poem of mine.

I've never been fantastic at introductions, but my name is Max. I'm currently enrolled at the University of San Diego as a second-year junior. I'm planning on having a double major (Econ-History) with a minor of some sort (Classics, Religious Studies or Peace and Justice; depending). I plan on attending some sort of law school once I graduate.

I hope to vent and laugh a bit with you all.

Great poem.

Welcome, and what a great name and poem!

I won't kiss flags, either, and I'm a former fucking Gold Girl Scout and Sunday School teacher and public school teacher.
