ogres

are like onions.
both have layers
obscure brown
on the outside
peel past
and there's
flesh inside
and a heart
the heart
of an onion
I wonder ...

  1. what a strange thing to talk about - ogres? :)

    but a profound thought - i've seen many humans (yours truly being one of them) who have these layers. we all put up an external mask - usually something totally different from what we are deep down inside

  2. onion hearts glaze eyes.
    as do the ogres resting within.
    quick, get some garlic.
    *phew*
    just in time.

    we shall be saved.
    no, superman is busy today but we do have a stand-in.

  3. dharmabum : "ogres are like onions" is from shrek, which makes it all the more relevant, considering we're both pretty much cartoons ourselves ..

    monsoonbread : err... okay !!

  4. Reminds me of those gifts wrapped in several pieces of wrapping paper. Each time you unwrap a layer with great expectations...poof! Just hoping that when one arrives at the gift finally, maybe the heart inside, it was worth the journey for the 'giftee'! ;)

  6. aarcher : I bought my brother some gift-wrap for Christmas. I took and to the Gift
    Wrap department and told them to wrap it, but in a different print so he
    would know when to stop unwrapping.
