There's a belly in heaven that I love.
It wriggles with satisfaction
like a Buddha's would
at the sight of Jello and whipped cream.
______It doesn't give a damn.
There's a belly in heaven that I miss.
______It jiggles with beer.
It's great for a hug and a squeeze.
It devours cakes, cookies, and pies.
It shakes, rolls, and giggles at bad jokes.
______Get out of my sight diet man.
Take a hasty trolley to hell
______mean man,
______lean man,
______bean man,
______exacting man.
______Scram
new man,
reasoning man,
jogging man,
calculating man,
______whose thoughts you won't reveal,
sly man.

Hello,
I am currently involved with a project focusing on an electronic magazine on the middle-eastern political and social and economical issues. The idea is to gather the analysis of experts and ordinary people beside one another on crucial issues and create a resource where less known, passionate critical thinkers can express variety of opinions on the issues related to this region. Thus, although we have an analytical focus, we are seeking an objective approach enabling the free expression of different opinions.
Hence, I would like to invite you to join us as either a guest write or a permanent member and share with us our knowledge and opinions. Please contact me if you are interested as soon as possible at: rhmonshi@gmail.com, so we can discuss the details.
Sincerely,
Ramtin
