Haiku Heights



there is a saying
blood is thicker than water
so is chicken soup



freedom was achieved
through blood sweat and tears by those
who lie forgotten




for some strange reason
i'm always wearing white when
i munch on blood plums

    Well, unless you get into exotic chemistry, like vodka or gin, most liquids are thicker than water. The real question is 'what is thinner than blood'. Chicken soup is certainly right in the pack.

    Chinese drink Moutai is thinner than blood too. Tastes bloody awful though. A bit like alcoholic bovril.

    I have never had a moutai but I do like mai tais and even better ( if you are ever in Moorea ) I'll shout you a boom boom...that is the name of.a great cocktail incidentally (just to make certain that you are not confusing the name with any other holiday activity:)

    More 'woof!' than 'pfftft'. An exothermic reaction is one that generates heat.

    Home grown blood plums are the best plums. (Blood plum jam is the bestest jam.) Feel free: wear white. Or pale yellow if eating chicken soup.

    I like your post ... writing and photos...
    and I do love the "chicken soup"...
    reminds me of people I think are "just soup" ☺
    Peace
