Wystan Hugh Auden

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.

Yeah, I think the common denominator - and this is probably going to sound like Acting 101 - but the common denominator is belief in the character in the moment.

No. 1 Lowest Common Denominator

I wanna see your number 1 lowest common denominator
You're so hot! what choo got?
On the outside i'm a good boy
Let me inside 'cause i'm full of joy
I don't want to shock you but i'm an electric eel
How's that make your denominator feel?
Think i'll surprise her
I can always depend on my great equalizer
I wanna grind, lose your mind
I kissed you once, but will i kiss you again?
Be certain with sex and you'll always have friends
Your glands wanna freak, your hands wanna speak
And your mind slips away at the peak
Recitation (a poem of love)
Time stops - the light goes on
A thundering head and no body
Washed up and woke up on the beach,
Seaside breakfast
A tender egg on white sand
Legs long and tan without a break, even to the neck
Suddenly, simultaneously, an eclipse and a snowfall
Flakes melt instantly on the shoulders like wet silver
Burning little holes all the way to the marrow
Puckered flesh like avocado sags into a green pool
All the birds leave turquoise ruts
Across the velveeta sky
It's time to scream
I wanna be your number 1 lowest common denominator

Somebody To Love You

You need a job so you can make some money
You need a nice warm place to stay
A sense of humor cause life is funny
A big stick to keep the wolf away
You need a car with good tires on it
The right place to eat barbecue
A heavy duty set of jumper cables
And no holes in you walkin? shoes
The main thing youre gonna find you need
Is a fertile place to plant your seed, boy
(chorus)
You got to find somebody to love you
Someone to be there for you night and day
Someone to share it with and be part of you
Love aint no good til you give it away
You got to give it away
I recommend you get some life insurance and be prepared to dial 911
Pay close attention to your high blood pressure
And stay away from the man with the gun
You need a reason to get up in the mornin? br> make sure your clock has got a snooze control
Be sure you got a place to run for cover
cause overnight things can sure get cold
Youre gonna find that sooner or later
You need a common denominator
(repeat chorus)

Simple Observation #160 - The common denominator of all......

The common denominator of all numbers is one
without which, of course, there would be none.

Common Ground

Written by neil diamond, tom hensley, and alan lindgren
If you love me,
Say you love me.
These are words we find hard to share.
Would you trust me?
Could I trust you?
Will you always want me there?
Or is this just some game called nothin goes right?
Is this just me to blame
For making these endless nights?
And who do we think we are,
Some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No were not.
Havent got all that time.
Got to find a common ground,
Not the other way around
For you and i.
We need to walk on common ground.
We need to make a lovin sound.
While we got time,
We got to try.
Were you loving?
Was I caring?
These are feelings too hard to measure.
Ill be loving.
You be caring.
Will it always feel this way?
Or will we find the way to make it alright?
Will that sun come someday
To wake up this endless night?
And who do we think we are,
Some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No, were not.
Havent got all that time.
Looking for a common ground,
Not the other way around
For you and i.
Got to find a common ground.
Need to make a lovin sound
While we got time,
You and i.
And we still have the time to make it work right,
Make that sun come to shine
And wake up this endless night.
And who do we think we are,
Some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No were not.
Havent got all that time.
Got to find a common ground,
Not the other way around,
You and i.
Got to walk on common ground.
Got to make some lovin sounds.
We got time to look for some common ground,
Find a lovin sound,
You and i.
Lookin for a common ground,
Not the other way around
For you and i.
Got to walk on common ground,
You and i.

Dennisse

Love came till the sun went down,
And the shadows of the clouds covered the moon!
But the common denominator for anything wonderful is spurred by energy! !
And like your love from Azerbaijan to Estonia.

I am Dennisse and my love is from Kyrgyzstan,
But from Uzbekistan is your love in search of a partner;
And we will meet tonight to share our respective minds,
For the wind blew the aroma of your love to me.

I'm Not An Angel Nor An Evil

I'm not an angel
Nor an evil

I'm who i'm
just little bit different

From the people around

Just Because I can't put on masks

And change them with every character and situation

Every while and while

Does that make me bad!

How they make me admire

when every while and while

They wear on and off

Different face
and face

They just make me smile.

I can't change colores

I can't wear masks.

I can't act happy
When i'm sad

I Can't laugh when someone is sad

Then I'll feel so bad

I'm not perfect

But I try to do my best

Sometimes a nice word

Can give me the world

A smile of a child

Makes me fly

A sad glance can make my heart cry

I'm just a human being

I laugh

I cry

I try

I shout

I feel
I fear

That's the way it is

Even with my faults

Still I can feel proud

I judge myself and sometimes even make fun.

But never ever want to be like those

Who act angel

Then they make million faults

Yet they never feel shy to judge others

How they make me admire!

A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator the smaller the fraction.

But Whole

No fraction but whole
No part no term
No denominator
No numerator
No zero
No alteration
Value more and more
And the common factor
In both upper and lower
Number non-zero
And always assured.

This Will Make You Laugh

This will make you laugh,
I staked my dreams on you.
This will make you laugh,
They never did come true.
I took a chance on the one romance,
I vowed it couldn't miss.
But I should have known to never judge,
A heart borrowed kiss.
This will make you laugh,
I once believed in you.
And for all my love,
You didn't see it through.
Of all the fools, I break the rule.
I love you still you see,
This will make you laugh,
But it's not funny to me.
(last verse repeated)

The Need For Emptiness

a door's way
to welcome you is
simply to open
itself

the living room
outdoes it
but letting you
breathe
more space

the common
denominator of this
entertainment
equation is still
the capacity
to contain
emptiness
