There's nothing funny about humours

In all good humour, I am one of those who subscribe to the theory that people are not made of fluids. A human being is a very solid thing. If I was one of those errant deviants, I might go along with the idea that I fluctuate between phlegmatic and melancholic. In my short and long stay at the drinking hole of life, I have noted certain features in myself that are not peculiar to me. Nobody is an original individual. At a microscopic level we are all unique. The forces at play in our lives - who we are and what we do - are scarcely within our strides. Our strides are full of shit. Like some refrigerated jar of preserved cucumbers in an upright good o' white, I'm phlegmatic. I'm duck on the top and legs down below. Yes, that's right. Duck! At various times in my stint at the cold face of life, I have slipped into black piles. Piles of black strides you'll see me in, if you don't smell me first. Black bile is an unexplained mystery that is full of myterious mystery. When I am down in the slumps, you can be sure that I'm a delight to be told. Somehow, I have managed to fry underneath all the major radars. O, really. I do go on a bit. It's fine by me. Without a window of doubt, I'm fatalistic. I'm too accepting of slings and marrows. In my own way, that isn't really my own, I'm a mad pasty. Phlegmatic as a bag of feral hats in a flying pan. I don't know if I could ever go as far as to say melancholy and phlegmatic are opposite. Melancholy and phlegmatic: opposite.

Frying under the radar?
Out of the fire into the frying pan?

Our striding full of shit? Do we leave skidmarks?

So many questions so little rhymes

You can cure that. Salt water gargle--breaks up all that phlegm in a jiffy.
