We Knew A Thing Or Two In them Days!

 
 
MYTHICAL  KINGS  &  IGUANAS
Dory Previn

TAP, TAP.

 
 
TAP, TAP 
 

Seated before the glowing screen

The old man moves only his fingers

Tap, tap.

Tap, tap.

 

The taps become words

A Poem For Scanner

 
There is,
Almost unknown to us,
A sense of balance
About life.

The abuse we give our bodies
In our younger days,
Through alcohol and drugs,
Lies in wait.

Now, in our later years,
It gleefully raises its ugly head
And, snarling meanly,
It bites us back.

THE ROSE

 

THE ROSE

 

Sitting quietly

Listening to his beard grow grey

An old man nods; at peace, among the roses

Where once he romped with youthful energy.

 

His time of romping has passed.

Now is the time for quiet contemplation of the verities… Read full post »

Open Call: My Favourite Songs

 
Some of you who know that I am not a religious person may think that this is an April Fools joke. I assure you that it is not. I love these songs when they are sung by such a great talent as Nana Mouskouri.

Of Coffee & Non-Borgs

 
While visiting another city about 40 miles up the road from where I live, I had to wait for an hour to see a man I wanted to talk to about business.

Of "We" and "They"

 
The bane of humanity is this continued "we" and "they" mindset. There is no "we" and there is no "they".... there is only "us". The separating of us into opposing factions causes us to fear and fault-find the portion of "us" now designated as "they." We foolishly attribute all evil… Read full post »

Are We Looking In The Wrong Direction?

A great many people have begun raising hell about "our" jobs being sent off-shore to "cheap labour" countries. While this is certainly happening and has had a serious effect on our way of life, I wonder if perhaps we need to examine this a bit closer.

"We need a strong leader" is poppycock!

 
In all of our economic and societal woes, the people who frighten me the most are those declaring that "we need a strong leader." It was that kind of thinking that brought Adolph Hitler to power. These people forget that humanity's experience with strong leaders is what led to us… Read full post »
