Just a Few Thoughts on Getting Even

 

I never get drunk enough

these days,

to think about culling you ..

I just hope,

beyond hope someone

might come

along one day and cull you

on my behalf ..

This a very strong comment, culling is to choose or single you out in some way.. could be positive or negative… but in your state of mind, it seems to be more negative… as you want it done by you or someone else…
A few powerful words, like it!
Warmly B🌷

at the end of the day & still being of sound mind, I have a good alibi just in case anyone should think otherwise or try to join the dots blindfolded .. ta and ever so warmly Betty .. Neville :)

[Betty Hermelee]

I’m glad you have one!
You’re very welcome🌷
Warmly, B

I wonder if you can get the death penalty for first degree culling.

[Betty Hermelee]

Never heard of it but who knows?🌷

[Neville]

We don't have the death penalty here in the UK

[Betty Hermelee]

Then you’re safe🌷

To me it seems like you are fantasizing about outsourcing some dirty behavior. Could be worse, some people carry out their dirty behavior in real life. It can be disturbing as I'm sure you are aware. Way to keep it in house my man.

I like the writing style as well. It's easily digestible. I hope you modify it so I can read it again and modify my review.

I will leave as is, for now, but thanks for making up the numbers.

REminds me of the old song by Del Shannon called "Hats off to Larry".....

[Neville]

at first, I wasn't sure whether I was familiar with that particular number but when I played it, it all came back to me and I was back there listening to Charles Weedon Westover and it was 1961 again .. cheers, N

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I had forgotten that was his real name...thanks for the reminder...
I was 11 when that song came out...follow up to "Runaway" and tragic how he died.

This is so good and reassuring to read, dear Neville. Sometimes, one can let life take its course and for sure someone comes along to cull our enemies. We just have to wait to drink to that. It happens. Loved it!

[Neville]

I think we just got cut off .. but be sure I will cull you back later .. Neville

Though I am of British descent, I speak English, but not Brit. Kindly define "cull."

[Neville]

Cull is the term that defines the deliberate, organised & determined attempt to reduce the number of some other living thing whether it be animal or vegetable for example livestock to prevent overcrowding or to save money or wastage .. Alternatively, we have a longstanding and often highly controversial ongoing badger cull here in the UK or certain parts of it supposedly to prevent the spread of Tuberculosis to cattle .. whatever the case and the various methods employed to cull or the culling, it invariably means killing something in numbers ..I am not a fan unless it is the culling of certain invasive fauna that kills our own native species .. I'm not too keen on grey squirrels either that are originally from elsewhere and have almost wiped out our native red squirrel .. hope that helps

Cull. It means to separate one out. As in to cull a lamb for slaughter.

[Neville]

The word 'Cull' can either be a verb essentially meaning to kill or reduce and remove animals or plants, or to collect parts or pieces of something .. It can also be used as a noun, in effect meaning a large reduction in numbers of staff for example or a collection of data .. Cheers, N

[Ms claws]

Don't cull me. I'll cull you.

[John the Baptist]

Well, me boyos, if you ever get in trouble, you can always cull on me.

[Arundass TP]

Nicely written poem. It is good not to be a drunkard.

[Neville]

I quite agree .. cheers
