Do You See What I See

'When Jupiter aligns with Mars' all I see are tiny stars 'When the moon is in the Seventh House' I am in my wife's doghouse 'Harmony and understanding' My car, my kids be demanding 'Golden living dreams of visions' What I wear evokes derision They call this 'The Age of Aquarius' ~ I taste turmeric on asparagus ___________________________________ Lines 1, 3, 5, and 7 are taken from 'The Age of Aquarius,' a hit song released by 'The Fifth Dimension' in 1969.

When you’re in the wife’s doghouse, do you bark or do you shout. Enjoyed the read and love that song… Belle

Lol! Gershon, This is hilarious; I laughed out loud reading this one. To answer your question, I can't say that I do( see what you do) On second thought, I do, because you just lent me your lense. I enjoyed the read. Off to listen to the song again( I I forgot the lyrics:-) Alexis

This one made me laugh Gershon. Loved that last line. Harmony and love abounding, sympathy and peace surrounding . Well here maybe but in the east it's hell on earth. Loved this one Gerwshon. God Bless, JB

“And Love will be in the stars.” Your poem brings back memories. I was a kid when this came out. I enjoyed your poem Gershon.

Aha. I was already in my '19th hour' when this one was released. Still hum it sometimes, amazingly enough. Thanks, Richard.

Oh, it's so delicious, Anselmo. Turmeric is akin to curry powder, and YOU KNOW how well that goes with asparagus. ~ Toilet Bound
