My Scorpio Characteristics

MY      SCORPIO       CHARACTERISTICS


I don’t believe in astrology  these days
But I believe in my wife, and she says
October 25 is in the middle of the stinger’s ways.

Generous with my  love, money, equipment, stuff;
But possessive, and  unwilling to share problem or triumph.
 
Jealous and self-blaming  -  always biting my own tail deadly  and curled,
seeking a  round unvarnished tale  of perfection in this imperfect world.

Intelligent,  with  brains to burn   -  combustion-free  cogitation.
Intense,   I even relax intensively  -  high-speed industrial relaxation.

Secretive,  my left hand knows not what’s in the right hand’s palm:
My agitated mind knows  nothing about this poem’s balm, 
It was written by the heart entirely calm.

. . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .

NOTE

My birthday is October 25.   No cards please .  Just send US dollars in large 
denominations and large quantities.
