Ride the Wind

~Ride the wind, Cowboy. The calm won't take you far.~

I found this quote online, and I've decided that I like it very much.

A Worm and No Man said...: Congratulations, Froggy!! :-D You're making progress! Soon, you'll be as cynical and insensitive as I am. ;); Mon Jan 23, 07:09:00 PM CST

The Art Explained

The Art of M&Ming is the art of finding the M&M. Your M&M. You have to have the right one. Have to. It's a must. And it's hard. Very hard. There are a lot of Skittles out there--unless you're looking closely, you'll think the 'S' is an 'M' having a bad hair day.

Blue M&Ms are good. They are where the phrase "True Blue" comes from. (Okay, so maybe not, but I'd like to see you prove it.)

Yellow M&Ms...they are good too. Yellow is a happy color. Yellows cause True Happiness.

Green M&Ms .... uuuh ... :::giggles::: Well--Green is the only feminine M&M. M&M in this case does not stand for Mystery Man. I'm not exactly sure what it does stand for.... No further comment.

Red M&Ms are the best. They are the Pearls of Great Price. And they...they are the kind you have to fight for...HARD. They're out there. But they blend in so well with the suffering in the world. So well. But if you wait for them...you're rewarded.

I wrote this poem when I was 15 years old. I would probably write it differently now, but the thought and the feeling are the same now as they were then...

~The Art of M&Ming~
The Art of M&Ming is a special art indeed
For the M&M is not something found upon a steed
The right color you must find
Or surely you will lose your mind
No use pleasing was isn't true
So the color must be blue
But what of them, those who say
"The M&M won't find his way!"
Then the stories we are told
Of knights, strong and bold
Of men who love their women true
But then again, the answer's blue!
And so for you, you have your man
But what of me, and of my plan?
What is the color of blood just shed?
All will say, it is Red
And that will prove which I will wed
The only color for me is red.
Through the dark and through the night
He will come for he will fight.
Unknown to him what his prize will be
May I be made worthy if it is me~

I'm waiting for the Red M&M.
Some people tell me my standards are too high.
But I know they aren't.
I won't settle for anything less than a Red M&M.
He's worth it.
I'm worth it.
