We're foot--slog--slog--slog--sloggin' over Africa --
Foot--foot--foot--foot--sloggin' over Africa --

There's no discharge in the war!

Seven--six--eleven--five--nine-an'-tw enty mile to-day --
Four--eleven--seventeen--thirty-two the day before --
(Boots--boots--boots--boots--movin' up an' down again!)

Fern Hill

by Dylan Thomas

Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs
About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green,
The night above the dingle starry,
Time let me hail and climb
Golden in the heydays of his eyes,
And honoured among wagons I was prince of the apple towns
And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves
Trail with daisies and barley
Down the rivers of the windfall light.

Phenomenal Woman

by Maya Angelou

Travel

by Robert Louis Stevenson

I should like to rise and go
Where the golden apples grow;--
Where below another sky
Parrot islands anchored lie,
And, watched by cockatoos and goats,

Are with mosque and minaret
Among sandy gardens set,

Song : 'Love Armed'

by Aphra Behn

Love in fantastic triumph sat,
Whilst bleeding hearts around him flow'd,
For whom fresh pains he did create,
And strange tyrannic power he shew'd;
From thy bright eyes he took his fire,
Which round about in sport he hurl'd;
But 'twas from mine he took desire
Enough to undo the amorous world.

From me he took his sighs and tears,

rapids and a turtle

by atef ayadi

she said:
"you don’t debug the fire by blowing it out."
i said:
" do you have some fire in you, you want me to blow out?
i have a bag of left over ice in the freezer, in case.
cause i do not have a fire extinguisher in the house,
therefore ice comes handy.
yeah, i am that firefighter, fighting fire with ice."

Amnesia and Inner Fire

by Igor Vykhovanets

Amnesia and Inner Fire
by Igor Vykhovanets with ChatGPT

Amnesia

Amnesia! Amnesia! —
Forgot the Spirit’s core.
How dull we’ve grown — inside the skull,
Only lies and horror roar.
