Fianza
Deposit, security and extremely good with black olives.

Felony
Serious crime punishable by having a lawyer represent you.

Finca
Property or plot of land, and one of much thought in the Sauf-ist of Ingland.

Fiscal
Related to the Treasury, however, under stress, or duress, can become a useful weapon when clenched.

Folio
A book of papers used in court, or elsewhere. This is also the game played in court when stealing the judge's 'hammer'

Fortalice
The place you sit when told to "be seated" safe from the harm of the law.

Fossa
Again, the state you go to when told to "be seated" or, "silence in court"...also a subtle exclamation from curled lips!

Frowst
Hot stuffiness, yes indeed judge!

Freeloader
A good for nothing mooching, blood sucking parasitic leech.

Fructis
From latin fructus, bearing fruit, which is chewed-on by all lawyers, leavng the rest to rot. Also a leader in lawyer haircare!

Fugly
Can be used freely, but best kept in mind for long-drawn out sagas. Probably best desribes the lawyer than the accused!

Fungibles
Moveable effects consumed by use from the Latin fungibilis...but can be brought on by whispering between judge and lawyer, out of your earshot.

After another wounding night in the hands of medics playing with my medicine, I'm thankful to have, I think, at least 3 out of 4 propellers working. I'm not grounded yet, though turbulence reigns for the moment.

A doctor actually replied to my begging calls to help me, and restore my original heart medicine, with the words, "you are repetitive". I'm hurting...but this is a new kind of pain.

When your ears failed to listen
I screamed in this hopeless desecration
of a pain so "repetitive"
is that blame my condemnation

credence tried, yet forever tested
in ageless eyes, neoteric tears
fall in sedate threnody
the salt of deepest fears

there's nowhere left to turn
in paralising the right to choose
Puissance fills the uncremonious urn
alone in bed free to muse

It's time to munify indignant breach
pulsation's bewail hemeralopia
now life appears in a tube I cannot reach
as Doctor's detail all via the photocopier

an earnest pain exploited by medicine
nerves exscinded by humanity exposed
in medicine's original practice of sin
eye-opening wounds now be closed.

As I love flags, and collect them, I certainly enjoyed this animation...wonderful...wherever you're from, you'll find your nation represented...

verkorperung des Geistes.

In times past I never forgot
heartlands significant spot
now a randan of falling leaves
as hopes and dreams beg to tease
within this obvert place
disconcerting hopes no disgrace
simulating the definitive paradise
from this slumber yet to aclimatise
the sepulchre 25th lingers so
like a flag upon the mind-meadow
here and there vigourous thoughts rise
from a ria of debilities franchise
flowing through the schlucht of health
life's steeps, steeples and stealth
in season, the vineyards of our imagination
to industrial words and human contamination
yet...nature speaks, like a river flow
to those who truly know.

Drinking for Long Life

Once upon a time, there was a big drinker who had never done any good and had never committed any sins either.

There were three people in his family; his wife, his son and him. He desired his son to be ordained as a Buddhist monk. Unfortunately, he died at the age of 50. It was before the ordination of his beloved son.

Before his death, he told his family to put a few bottles of alcohol in his coffin in order to quench his thirst with it after he died.

After his death, his spirit went to hell. There, the guardian of the dead asked him, “Why do you prefer alcohol? Is it tasty?”

“It is the greatest thing on earth I’ve ever drunk. No words can explain its terrific flavour. Try it and you will know,” said the man.

“What a pity! I won’t know its flavour because in hell we don’t have anything like this,” said the guardian of the dead.

“I take a few bottles of alcohol with me. Here you are. Try it,” said the man.

After tasting the alcohol, the guardian was impressed. He drank a bottle of it and got drunk because he had never tried it before. After that both of them promised to be friends.

The guardian of the dead told the man, “If you want anything, just tell me. I’m willing to help you.”

“I desire nothing other than to arrange the ordination for my son. Please let me go back home for only one more year. I long to be in the religious ceremony of my son,” the man begged the guardian.

As the guardian liked the man very much, he extended the man’s life by adding one more year to the age of him in a register. But he was blind drunk, so he wrote number 1 at the end of the figure 50 instead of erasing number 0 from the figure before writing number 1. As a result, the man’s age was 501, not 51.

When the man was alive again, he arranged the ordination for his son and then waited for the time to die. Many years passed by, but he didn’t die. He was so sad because his wife, his son and all the descendants were dead, but he wasn’t.
