Schurken

WHOSE domain is predation upon fellow human may posit self
SUPER or über, so Nietzsche. Yet let that fearsome fish perform its function, the
SHARK–as for Humans sharking, they are not sharks, but Schurken, villains in a
FABLE about erring in species and thus erring in all that matters.

Note: one etymology for shark is that comes from a Dutch/German word for predatory villain, “Schurke” in German.

The advantage of having Covid and being retired means you can write nonsense.

WHOSE super shark fable is this I’ve just read? A
FABLE about a shark who’s super is rare – and supportive of
SHARKs, whose superpowers are not entirely a fable.
SUPER! I’ll encourage my children, whose tastes are wide, to read about this super shark.

Backpackers Hostel in Hermanus, SOUTH AFRICA. LOVED by Great White Shark Divers everywhere!! Recognised as one of the best top five hostels in South Africa!]

Godly

GODLY, it seems, has something to do with fads like
MOTORs or batteries. Virtue is perhaps the invention of a stronger
EPOXY. Heroes tale is of the entrepreneur who made it big.
HEART? Why mention heart?

Inventive

Okay, mate, I’ve fixed the MOTOR –
there, on that shelf, I found some old EPOXY.
[grins] Wish it was as easy to fix the HEART
and make that ancient ticker GODLY.

Particular

PARRY (Hubert, that is) was a 19th century top composer of
CHOIR music. Whether he frowned upon the use of
TUBAL instruments – the serpent and nagphani come to mind – we don’t know; his
PRIORity was the voice, solo or in harmony.

Invention

CHOIRs with orchestras and festive music are what
TUBAL-cain had in mind, inventing bronze instruments. Instead,
SCOURing earth, humankind mined, forged weapons of attack and
PARRY. Yet, on occasion, a battle horn would be used at night to sound the note of rest.

Note: Cf. Gen 4:22 “Zillah also bore Tubal-cain; he was the forger of all instruments of bronze and iron”. Sometimes, scripture can be frustratingly laconic. I would love to know more about Tubal-cain.
