Be you ~
I'm not going to tell you what to do.
You're on your own ~ be creative
to care enough to find ways to please me,
to care enough to be...
to care...
yes...
I think that's the key word.
I want you to care.
About me.
About us.
I want you to
be in the moment,
be in the relationship,
be in the driver's seat.
Contribute
not just sit back and wait for cues.
You're not just along for the ride.
Be...
Care...
Be on top of your game.
Act like you care.
Give it all you've got
without holding back.
Like this is the real thing.
Like you want this to work.
Like you want this to be special.
Be consistent.
Consistently caring loving attentive.
Don't deviate from the script.
Love me like you mean it.

Please do not ask your children to contribute to your family or the world.
Raise them to think they are entitled kings, queens, and princesses,
do their work for them.
Keep them lazy and spoiled, let them develop an attitude of entitlement.
It would be silly for you to expect them to do their share.
Let them lollygag around,
doing nothing while you sweep and vacuum around them.
Fix the meals, clean off the table, wash the dishes, while they watch TV.
Let them know that manual work is beneath them; it is better suited to you.
When they go to a job interview, do not be surprised if they are not hired.
People who have been taught to pitch in and help, readily spot the lay-abouts.
And they do not leap across the desk to hire them.
"Don't just talk and write- Act" - Rama Balasubramanian
Nature is enchanting, verily our life
Still we are destroying her, look at her plight
Depletion and pollution has become rife
Satisfying desires, we live day and night
To tunes of sensual pleasures we sway
Without foresight, no thoughts about wrong and right
We are slowly heading ourselves to doomsday
Destroying life giving greens, water and air
Our foolishness we incessantly display
Reduce, reuse, recycle, plant, take care
Do what you can to save nature every day
Health, beauty and joy will abound everywhere
Better be serious, start without delay
Every one contributing, the only way

None Would Contribute
None ever would contribute to the fund;
This was sad and meant to be moribund,
Then took a pause;
Became lost cause;
Died with excess weight and being rotund.

Trump Refuses To Contribute Horn Limerick
Trump is stingy and refuses to contribute
Single dime and lacks having an attribute;
Psychotic for sure;
Is no known cure;
His body and brain belong in an institute.
