Percipere, very nice. At first glance before I read that, I had low expectations due to the smiley faces and such. After reading it, however, all worries were laid to rest. I love what you've done with the effect of the red face near the end. I can't quite explain my full opinion of it, seeing as though I have a much more limited vocabulary than some of the other users do. Whimsical, satirical, and thoroughly enjoyable. Well done Percy.

little ditty of mine, ridicule as you please
Charmed for an Age
I'll charm you for an age
to swallow like a pill
you'll choke as you let it down
a countdown to your end
And in solemn prayers and lullabies
In tattered bibles rest dusty lies
grow up too fast for your regrets
with rosary cheeks and whispering lips
When a soft hello echoes old goodbyes
of quivering lips and tear drop eyes
of songs to you, read under trees
filled with loveluster lies tossed around in the breeze
As charmed for an age as you'll ever be,
by crosses and floods, famine and disease.
use holy water to put out the fires
started by your religous wars.
Then wrap blessed bandages
around stigmata sores
I'll be your saving grace,
the trinity that calls you home
I'll be the answer to all your prayers
so that you'll never be alone.
