I try affirmations and say things out loud
But then I’m reminded, every silver lining has a cloud
Happy Number 110, Dad
Thanks to you I can recall
Life before the Internet
and the shopping mall
I remember your office
a cabinet, desk and chair
Open the window
if you wanted fresh air
You maneuvered tough times
the Great Depression, WW2
Today more than ever, Dad
I'm humbled by you

quietness
surrounds
the night
an overcoat
of yesterdays
warm
upon
me...
... helps
me reflect..
on the
wonder
at your
beauty
inspired by the Hovis theme clip
It is what it is…
leopards cannot change their spots…
neither we our skin.
You can create change
With inner moral compass
Goals have shadow sides

Torrero sans l’aide de Picador
Such artful courage sans pareil :
Gored in the loins
No need to shout who Bad Guys stand for
Mean lances of the Picador slay
Split Toro groins
Speak not of Bad Guys in the same breath
As of fighting bulls and bull-fighters :
Can courage die
Seek not Bad Guys’ ultimate death
Shakespeare says they ever die blighters :
Let cowards lie

See, see the splurptious sky
Marvel at its big Mauve depths.
Tell me, dingle, do you
Wonder why the Aardvark ignores you?
Why its foobly stare
makes you feel Crappy.
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your crumbobulous facial growth
That looks like
A Rotten fish.
What's more, it knows
Your flarpgurgle potting shed
Smells of a ball of snot.
Everything under the big splurptious sky
Asks why, why do you even bother?
You only charm aliens?

Jahovah (3068) said to Adon (113)
"Sit at My right hand, till I make
Your ememies your footstool."
Adonay (136) is at your right hand.

I ask for refuge to Allah from Satan the exiled evildoer.
In the name of Allah the Kind and the Merciful Giver.
When there will come Allah’s help and victory
And you will see
People entering religion of Allah in companies
Then cherish your Lord’s glory
And turn towards Him
Surely He is oft-returning to mercy.
Backwards sliding down can be
scary, but fun if you
enjoy the moment and know
you will go nowhere that
you won’t already go.
