Crikey... the funniest thing.
Just when you think your week is turning to arse a little ray of sunshine beams down to pick up your spirits like a well-seasoned chili...
One of those spontaneous events that you wish you could have recorded for posterity using modern technological advances rather than rely solely on the part of your brain that's supposed to retain these types of things but...err... ho hum... where was I again?
When common sense tells us that we should be trawling through the trials and tribulations of life as an 'adult-ager' and yet it's guffaws galore over the intricacies of modern interior decorating - not of the living channel kind... more like the 'Extreme Makeover - slash - Caci Clinic' variety, with a few pearla cooking terminologies thrown in for good measure.
Gordon Ramsey reigned supreme... the foul-mouthed f*#%er. Who'da thunk it aye?
Eras, relations, opinions and experience blended together, merging like a perfectly chilled fruit salad - well perhaps with a couple of pips and two of those budget maraschino cherries but hey what can you do, you swallow it down greedily while the juice runs down your chin.
I called these Forrest Gump Gatherings... you never know what you're gonna get but they're never boring. This was my second ever Human Fruit Salad experiment - okay so technically it wasn't MY Gump Gathering but they are a regular occurrence and I am a regular fixture.
The first time I quite by accident watched a human fruit salad take formation was at one of the many soiree's held in my wee home (notched by the various beverage stains over the carpet).
The Human Fruit Salad Experiment
T'was the night of my birthday and all through the house...
People connected, man,woman and... mouse (sue me... it rhymes!)
Intros were made by the hostess with care
In hopes that formations of friendships might fare
I in my dressups stood back and observed
As blurry visions of human fruit salad merged
Some danced and some sang and some drank a wee bit
To my amazement the experiment was quite a hit
The Drag Queen's posed questionable heated debate
From the fishing bloke who arrived with the celebrity mate
Who just couldn't grasp that a man in a skirt
Had the balls to think they could have a wee flirt
The music vampire who wriggled all night
The farmers that stood under the starry light
The thesbians oooh darling'ed to one and to all
The bushman at ease with his back to the wall
The Snoops were on form albeit slightly in awe
Mingling with the westies and weirdos galore
The oldies and goodies sat glued to their spot
Afraid that they might have sip shots or sniff pot?
As I watched my gorgeous creation take flight
And flavours merged on and on into the night
Acquaintances showed a truer side
Decisions were made on flavours that hide
Acceptance for one and for all was the buzz
The unspoken rule of "we party, not judge"
Some were faced with a few challenged views
It was peace and love for natives and nobody spewed
The crowd slowly dispersed as the music wound down
Claiming a party as good as any nightclub in town
With big hugs and drunk smooches they came and they went
Thus The Human Fruit Salad Experiment
hehe - cool aye? I like poems. Especially ones I make up.
So yeah I really enjoy watching people from all walks of life, ages, professions, egos, backgrounds, foregrounds and the like, mix it up and create something special. That's why I have the friends I do... because they are all uniquely comfortable with who they are, and they are all uniquely comfortable with who I am... and THAT my friends is the shizzle.
Right - this post has taken like a week to write - sorry about that - I'm slack and my TWO followers will kick my arse.
BUT wait... there's more... As I'm at work and I'm bored to tears and I'm bloggin anyway... I shall end this topic (HFSE was SOOO last week) and start a new one...
Peace out... see you in a bit
