One day
I was very disappointed when I went to visit the marriage counselor
Only to find him hitting his wife with a frying pan
He won't see heaven because of violence!
The teacher is believed
To be an all rounder
For a record holder in education
An educator, advisor, counsellor, planner, examiner and innovator
Just like a remote control
For some nonmachinerised, noncomputerised or nondigital devices
The 'nude' and innocent children
Born today going to tomorrow
Counsellor
He was an independent therapist
for people who thought they were drinking too much.
His first question was: why do you drink so copious?
The answers were varied; he asked them to address
their problems, and desist from alcohol for six months,
Sometimes it did the trick.
Those who could not see he sent to A.A.
He had experience from working at a private clinic
where the religious aspect played a vital role.
The expert rejected his system, lost his licence
to practise his amateurish an uneducated views.
He has met people who thanked him for finding
they were not alcoholics and by those he had
directed to A. A.
Take my fear away
Let me speak
With clarity
Let my lips move
While my heart proves
The truth
About depression
Addiction
And anxiety.

Love counsellor
So he thinks it is easy, the man who gives advice to married
and loveless couples. What does he know, goes home switches
on the telly and watch the programs he wants, simply because
he is a lifelong bachelor.
You can´t do that when married, she doesn´t want the news
but a program about romance and he relents, because a man
who doesn´t care about his wife´s feelings is a bully and made a
n example of and called names in a woman´s magazine.
A marriage counsellor´s job is to tell people to fake love until it
comes true.
Limerick : Once a Privy Counsellor at Lord’s
Once a Privy Counsellor at Lord’s*
Watched a bowler* throw balls like gourds
Convened judicial com.*
Summoned bowler to come
And sentenced him to eat bitter gourds.
Lord’s : The Mecca of cricket grounds in London
where the Marylebone Cricket Club has
its seat.
bowler : The player who lances the ball at the
batsman ; yet during the act the elbow
must not be bent – at the risk of being
called by the Umpire a « no ball « , that is,
even if the ball hits the wickets and the
bails are dislodged, the batsman is not
given « out.».
*Judicial Com(mittee) of the Privy Council, the highest
Court of Appeal in England (and the former
British territories) until the Supreme
Court was set up in 2010 to hear some appeals.
The Privy Counsellor/Councillor

He
opens
hearts and minds
in sickness and
health-
He
draws us
to himself
a quiet voice
we
hear
prompts
and reminds-
until peace we
find-
Then
fills us
with His word,
so we may be
heard
Inspired by Agnes McDonald's-Find me a hard place'
God
with us-
here and now
