Glory To Thermodynamics In GeneralGlory to thermodynamics in general...
and generation of heat in particular
cuz yours truly
spoiled with trappings
of Western Civilization.
How ideal I imagine
to dwell in a self sufficient domicile,
where thrum of the central heater...
automatically activated
upon advent of twilight,
or self adjusted/regulated
based on outside temperature

Oh, That Magical ChristmasI was beyond bereft!
With very little money, sure, we had a small place.
But no cash nor tree nor presents nor food were to
be.
I cried a lot, so did my daughter.
I prayed very hard for some kind of answer.
Then I recalled "Operation Blessing"!
They wanted a...

Dear MusicDear Music
Dear Music- would you marry drum?
for it will be beautiful when played under the setting sun
How would you love to be tomorrow’S heading
will you invite Guitar to your wedding?
From million miles your melodies be heard
As soothing as the morning hymn of a mocking bird

A Few Things To Consider Before Brown-Nosing In My Presence1) I hate brown-nosers far more than I hate most other nosers
of virtually any known color!
2) I will make it a point to slap you in front of your superiors,
with a biblical fury, the likes of which, would make Mary Magdalene blush with fits...

MoneyMoney has no color,
whether it came from Black, White, Asian
or any other tribesman, a dollar is a dollar, not more or less.
Money doesn’t smell,
therefore, it weighs the same, whether it comes from
marijuana dealer’s pocket or holy temple’s offering basket.
Money doesn’t have a...

Reaney's LamborghiniSo slick and sexy. Purred past Temple Bar.
That throaty engine advertising punch.
All legal London, strolling out for lunch,
with turning heads declared, “Now that’s a car!”
So many barristers are – if not losers,
low earners and slow learners. I was one.
I, plodding back from...

If Not For You‘If not for you ‘Bri' I might have hated all men'
Sobering words my ‘little sis' said to me,
But just where it happened, or even when,
Is a window through which I can't see.
I know we were younger, probably in our teens,
Between us there...

HumanityHelpless is each one who breaks the life barrier,
Umbrellaed beneath earth's vaporous dome,
Marked with the blemishes of a blighted race.
Angels look down upon them, try to guard their faltering ways.
Naked they are born and naked they depart;
In between the poles an unknown span of days
To...

The Common ManBegin
Thus spoke the Premier in a solemn voice
Announced the implementation of a new plan
There are too many scams, I had no choice
It is to benefit the common man
At the stroke of midnight when the corrupt sleep
Their misdeeds in the past sixty-year span
Will be exposed when...

We Learn and We EarnTo learn is to earn, to earn is to learn
Learning is earning, earning is learning
Is the word learning same from earning?
Does learning and earning always go together?
Learning to earn is like the greatest learning
Earning to learn is an incredible earning
People prefer to learn and earn...

People Among Us
People among us
I traveled alone to see people I never meet
Well beyond the usual places I get to visit
Knowing instinctively I will learn something,
There by the river I came upon stranded folks
Thrilled in joy as their rescue boat arrived
But it filled up quickly leaving them...

Extra Extra Read all about it"Extra! Extra! Read all about it!"
Not a crock of ... but bull heave me,
you heard (read) right here from me
the horse's mouth,
who never neigh says,
cuz Trump (unexpectedly)
nixed presidential ambitions...

management job at McDonald's,
nevertheless rival Burger King
courtesy a turncoat,
who cozied up

Where Is Vacation?There will be a better place for this information
when it prints as a small ad
there is a right to know
baits are nothing but
half of all of you
blink at heartfelt applause
behind no cause
hidden among million
quite unconscious of the blot
Is it large?
deploy the highest...

Economic Disparity Created During the Corona PhaseEconomic Disparity created during the Corona Phase
Death equalizes all at the end
But sufferings are hugely different.
There cannot be any comparison
Between the daily wage earners like
Vegetable vendors, itinerant traders
And the white collar employees;
While millions have lost their jobs and vocation
Some are...
