Willingly hold it real
The story was fictional;
Yet I emoted when I read it.
It is a woman's image;
Yet I was turned on when I saw it.
Jokes were imaginary;
Yet I enjoyed them when told.
I willingly held them
Real to be in fool's paradise.
Partly to my weakness and
Partly to the makers' skills, the credit goes.

The point is that these decisions they've made are partly for your convenience and partly for theirs and partly out of stereotypes that they carry with them from the conventions of the computer field.

The Latest One Looks Better
I read to my son a story
I heard read when I was a child.
I read it to my grandson
Each time my perception grew.
I visited the Taj Mahal
As a child, an adult and
An old one and each time
My perception got better view.
She was my teenage girlfriend.
I met her as a young mother
And later as a grand mother.
My perception underwent changes.
Partly my accumulated knowledge
And partly the impact on them
Of time and space are the causes.
The latest beat the formers..

Bitter truths are buried
Down a stream came a woman,
partly clothed, fully drenched.
By lonely stream strolled the woman;
no one at sight, she freely emoted.
Upon a rock by a brook
fell she flat to bathe in sun.
Arms under nape, thighs wide apart,
she lay bare, charging her part.
She was caught from behind,
her twin hills under iron palms.
Though startled, not at all wild
as she was swayed heavily by impulses.
She minded not who the man was:
a lovely prince or a lowly brute.
She resisted not as she was sure
no one was there to bear a witness.
Willingly yielded and succumbed
she had, to the pleasure inflicted.
She was alone; so was she naked.
She was alone; so she granted.
Suffered the chastity before the secrecy.
A bitter truth and a hidden truth.

This is due partly to the fact that Americans are much better fed than Europeans, and partly to the undeveloped resources of a new country, but more largely to our climate, which acts as a constant stimulus.

I wanted readers to be genuinely unsure as to whether she's telling the truth or lying. It meant making her partly sympathetic, and partly unsympathetic, which wasn't easy.
But in the meantime I became accustomed to the writing life and it would be hard to change now - partly because of the salary cut if I went to my other love, teaching; and partly because I still have stories to tell, even though it isn't all that fun doing the work anymore.

The course of the flight up and down was exceedingly erratic, partly due to the irregularity of the air, and partly to lack of experience in handling this machine. The control of the front rudder was difficult on account of its being balanced too near the center.

All the Jokes
All the jokes have already been told
And so instead, we tell jokes about how
All the jokes have already been told
But these new jokes aren't very funny
In fact, they're actually kind of sad
So instead we tell jokes about how
All the new jokes aren't very funny
In fact, they're actually kind of sad
Because they remind us about how
All the jokes have already been told
But these jokes get old very quickly
So we make up new jokes about how
The jokes about the new jokes about how
All the jokes that have already been told
Are starting to get quite old
But after a while, once these jokes
Have gotten quite old themselves
We sit and listen to the silence
And wonder about the past, and how
All the jokes have already been told
Then suddenly, out of nowhere
Somebody comes up with a joke
That had been forgotten long ago
But is so funny we can't even breathe
So we roll on the floor, gasping for air
