For anyone seeking advice on Virgos...

...and posting tirades of self entitlement and massive ego on this forums. (The genuine crowd need not be concerned with this poem)

Mercury Survival Kit

If you ever get caught in a round or two
of the head shrinkers' current favorite game
called "truth confrontation"
prepare yourself for a possible shock
that can lock a heart
or screw a mind uptight

You know the rules
All players sock it to each other like it is
to peel away layers of self pretense
with no points given
for the desperate maneuvers of self defense
or strategies to salvage pride

and when you pass "Go"
you collect 200 pieces
of a massive wounded ego

But if you really want to win
and cut straight through all the lies
remember you don't play "truth" with words
you play it with your eyes.

MY VIRGO WON'T STOP BEING NAGGY. SHOULD I DISAPPEAR FOR A MONTH AND NOT CONTACT HER—

HALP!!!

How very fitting for you to post..

I found another poem in that book which I assume it's written by a Virgo partner to their Virgo husband/wife. Or so it seems. Very cute.

(no halps will be given)

just wait til I get to the scorpio ones, buddy.

anyway..

It's Not Easy to Please a Virgin

Since you grumbled your way into my life
with your Venus-in-Virgo slide rules and scale
and measuring sticks of perfection

I seldom get excited unduly
I'm on time for appointments
I can spell words like lapis lazuli
my stomach is flatter, I stand up taller
my ego is smaller
my hair is back to mouse brown
I've stopped smoking and eating bread
I go to bed earlier and wiser
I don't argue with rude waiters
get impatient with slow elevators
or knock people down in the street to grab the first taxi
(well, not often)

But I still read Brenda Starr, Reporter
in the Sunday comics
wear pink goo on my lips
leave extravagant tips, when you're not looking
bite my nails now and then
sometimes forget to count to ten, before I speak
and last week
I had lunch in one of those plastic coffee shops

I'm sorry about falling a little short like that
Its just that I have to save some pieces of myself
in case I ever get bored
with being so beautiful and clever and good
and have to put the old me back together again

I hope that never happens
because this new me
is maybe the most me of me
I've ever known

As for your
to be absolutely honest, as you've carefully taught me to be
you're still a little off-center
investigating truth, without consequences
and doing your thing
playing with platitudes
reading books about Buddha
to learn how to die before you've started to live
straining emotions through a sterile sieve
and scrubbing your squeaky clean ivory tower
with Brillo pads
each morning

but you're improving

^^^GAD I LOVE THIS

Love it

love to my fellow virgos

Hey Damnata that Mercury poem is on point! Can't really relate to the Venus in Virgo one which is where my Venus is placed! I think Scorpio Moon must override all that clean logical healthy love stuff. Nice share, thanks.
