My story’s quickly told …
It was just a small mistake
Yes, I lost my temper
And was a wee bit brash …
But yon old beggarly sot,
They tell me he’s a wizard!
Perhaps I should be going off …
Old believer in Thelema they say,
Yon heretic, weathered and briny man,
He came into my bakery and starts …
Clutching my apron and shirt,
And in the end, leaves a gooey mess
From his peanut-brittle sticky hands …
My best cambric shirt – ruined!
I begin to shout and curse …
“You gluttonous lout!” says I
“Look what you’ve gone and done!
Nary a tribe of famished kiddies,
Can lick this mess away!”
Then I swipe at my clothes with vigor
Though slowly I begin to wonder – for
He looked at me with thunderous eyes, and
They say he’s a mighty deacon
Among the Thelemic number …
Aye, and sinister stories I’ve heard of hexes
I fear what he may yet do – next …

I used to have a “friend” on Facebook a real mix … A Ron Paul right winger and veneration for Aleister Crowley (among other things) … and he’s a wee bit creepy indeed! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleister_Crowley … every once in a while people pop up saying that they’re incarnations of the guy …

Dang! WP’s latest update (in the notifications drop-down) is acting quirky — lost my previous response. 😦
Anywhoo — why anyone would *admit* to being Crowley’s incarnation is beyond me. Course, Ron Paul’s a bit creepy too. Less sinister, perhaps — but he looks and sounds like a gremlin.

lol … I just can’t get my mind around people who go for his brand of politics .. but then I’m having problems with getting my mind around any of the spin these guys send our way lately .. he’s a rum one, I think his son will be a bother in the future.
