Incompatible read the Chinese Zodiac
Printed in black on soiled placemat.
It made me chuckle at the 'wise' Jade Emperor.
Just perhaps his green was envy.
Against oriental curses
Let our love be like lubricant
With romantic rebellion
Placed higher than eastern stars.
Let us grant to naysayers
The credit of useless bottle caps
While we drink from truth's cylinder
Privy to self made destiny.

Self made destiny is the best there is!! I think we all make our own paths.. nothing is truely preordained!
It probably was jealousy!! Who's to say who is incompatible I say!!
This has a tongue-in-cheek feel to it, but is still soooo true!!
Like where you took the V for Vaseline!! lol
