octaves play a crucial
structural and
stylistic role
lowest notes fall below
the 20 Hz threshold
of human hearing and
can only be
measured with instruments
12 semitones
Sound frequencies range
from about 20 Hz to
20,000 Hz, which covers
roughly 10 distinct
octaves of audible sound
There are 7 full octaves
plus 3 extra low keys
, totaling 88 keys that
span about 7.25 octaves

-E per quanto riguarda le possibilità
passando a un approccio
basato sui problemi?
traditions start somewhere
doing things for a reason is
often the right thing
to do
looking toward
our goales
budgeting our endeavor
profiting
and profit sharing
to create healthy
long lasting
relationships
that are meaningful
and complimentary

Four thoughtful lines from Rudyard’s pen
Are still so fresh and new
I keep six honest serving men
(They taught me all I knew)
Their names are what and why and when
And how and where and who
What lies in wait as lives unfold
One simply cannot tell
Why worry what the futures hold
It’s not a magic spell
When to push forward and be bold
Or just ponder and dwell
How to learn from lessons of old
But myths one must dispel
Where to find those moments of gold
Avoiding living hell
Who to rely on manyfold
Not those of just a shell
Addressing these pillars of life
Is a hard thing to do
It helps tackle troubles and strife
So positives ensue
Quote from Rudyard Kipling’s poem “I Keep Six Honest Serving Men” from ‘Just So Stories’, 1902.
When asked, 'If the orchestra conductor
had made an effort more concerted
not to miss the concert
and a sordid scene averted,
would he have been less disconcerted?'
"Don’t ask me, I’m only the drummer,"
replied I in chagrin.
And, altho' the name of my favourite band
is the one I am currently in,
I do like the sound of the moniker, 'Big Ben,'
it's music to my ears and have to admit,
it has a certain ring to it."
As it appeals one feels it would sell well as a bell
(at fifteen point one short tons)
and wake everyone with its loud knell.
Dear Karen, there’s something I need:
I’ve got you a poem to read.
A deficit in one’s attention
is probably best left unmentioned.
If boring writes get you distracted,
my outcome’s adversely impacted.
For when the dear reader is addled,
strong placements just up and skedaddle.
Before you’ve a chance to retort,
just know that I’m keeping it short.
Disorder escapes its confines
perusing these final two lines!
Sculpting his idol with magiC,
Prayers she offers saying, “HellO”!
Exclusively with leaves so greeN,
Carefully, for him a garlanD,
Imagining him as her beaU,
Always makes singing a lyriC!
Love is mad, in facT!!
Disorderly Conduct
Keep to the right
Keep to the right
Teachers all taught
Keep to the right
Stay on the right
While we all walk
So it’s not chaos
Crossing crosswalks
Dodging and bumping
While in the store
Now it’s all madness
No order no more
Keep to the right
Is obsolete
It went in decline
For the…me me
Keep to your right
Or to your left
It’s about order
Not politics
Stay in your lane
Stay in your lane
It was so simple
Now it’s all lame
Don’t live your life with skin that’s thin.
Never be sorry, never give in.
Never apologize, never explain.
Never surrender to meanings not plain.
Never forgive, never forget
Never be soft, never regret
Always defend what you know is true
Against others who haven’t a clue.
Arguments based on empathy,
Are spineless, and lack honesty
Though stated with intensity.
They're nonsense, not reality.
Miss Conduct rocks on her high horse
And vitriol soon starts to course
Right through all her veins
She always complains
There’s never a hint of remorse
She’s always so nasty and rude
Her language is often quite crude
She sure likes to holler
But thinks she’s top dollar
Her actions can’t be misconstrued

Now is the beginning end;
Your enemy is truly your friend;
When it's finished,
and it's over it's never completed;
Before it's under succeeded;
And I confess;
That I have established;
I am that I am;
Conveyed orderly conduct;
Here I stand;
An enabling product;

Jinping and Putin made a pact
To teach Donald Trump how to act
But first things first
His cloud must burst
So Trump can tell fiction from fact!
Quiet on the set, you annoying disrupter
Your carrying on is causing unproductivity
The well oiled machine has lost its lubricant
A clog in the artery of consistsncy, you block blessings
With so many distracted minds, you are not needed
One cannot paint if one cannot focus
Move your self from the assembly line
Disrupt those who yearn to hear your dissonance
For this tune, plays perfectly fine without you
searched
found
adored
rejected
hanged
now adores
Before actions go around to come around,
all deeds ascend up that lessons descend down.
Such is the universe’s tried, true policy
as karma has deployed for all of history.
Whether conduct is good, bad or otherwise,
all human behavior meets heaven’s keen eyes.
If we say it, pray it, think it or do it,
it goes up, then down once karma reviews it.
Such violent acts going on in the N.F.L.
And all glossed over by Roger Goodell
In seeing the tape of Ray Rice's knockout
Rodger didn't see any wrong in such a bout
Then when Mr. Peterson beat his own child
Rodger said I've seen worse, that one is mild
See Roger makes 43 million dollars a year
In holding his prestigious title so very dear
But then finally came the loud uproar
Now poor old Rodger, he wasn't so sure
And as the big sponsors left the game
Losing all that money would be such a shame
So now Mr. Goodell said he didn't get it right
But now 49er Ray McDonald is in his new sight
49ers Head butting Ray will play this weekend
He's playing PERIOD is the message the 49ers send
We'll Rodger we're waiting, for sorry won't due
You are that guy who doesn't have a clue
You and the guys and Denise go count your cash
But look at her face and please look at that child's gash
Ray McDonald broke the law, EI, EI, OH
Denise Debartolo York
Co-Chairman 49ers
Ticking! Tacking!! Tic Tac!!!
Time is running, seconds passing by
Years going with nothing that counts
Greys are showing, almost ready to die
Ticking! Tacking!! Tic Tac!!!
Flashes of his past, shadows of his future
Contents in his heart, wicked like the vulture
He wishes to go back, but back is not an option
Ticking! Tacking!! Tic Tac!!!
The best gift, He is not dead yet
To make his pact with GOD, he does first
To engrave his name in hearts, he does next
Ticking! Tacking!! Tic Tac!!!
Time is running, seconds passing by
The time is calling, he's ready to die
In heaven, he sits with a lovely smile
Ticking! Tacking!! Tic Tac!!!
:: Look to this day... For yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow, only a vision... But TODAY well-lived, makes every yesterday, dreams of happiness and tomorrow, vision of hope.
GOD IS WAITING ON YOU
