The New Dealer Cards Is Fate

It seems as if fate itself has crossed 
my path once again 

This time with the complete polar
opposite cards in tow

Offering me the same deal but this
time in reverse

When 1st he came he set in motion
the opportunity and circumstances
I was enabled to buy my grandad and
mother's family home

Now recently as this past week 
circumstances have changed and
what began as an initial thought or
contemplation of selling has morphed
into an actual plausible reality 

A house on our road someone bought in
order to fix up to sell on but decided instead
to give it to his son to move into

So out of curiosity I thought id ask him
if he was interested in buying mine and
the next morning he came a knocking
at my door

He came inside took 1 look around and
asked me what price I wanted for it
went away only for a little while later
to tell me

Yes he wanted to buy it all I had to do
was give him the go ahead and he would
get the ball rolling straight away

So from an inkling of a thought in less
than 3 days I have gone from thought
to having to make my mind up and
a life changing decision 

And am I supposed to or should I take
all of these occurrences falling into place
somehow as a sign , serendipity or good luck

Destiny or fate either way it looks as if a
massive life change in my future is a foot

I like and much prefer change rather than
the every day norm as it offers little in
the form of excitement and something
to look forward to

I just hope I am not about to make a
monumental mistake that I will come
to regret

But hey as they say nothing ventured
nothing gained

And at least I won't have to spend any time 
wondering what would have happened
if I hadn't tried it or given it a go 

Bonus is I get to keep all of my most
precious treasured memories as
they aren't up for sale I get to keep for life

Whereas a house that doesn't feel like a home
anymore is merely bricks and mortar


Premium Member Hardworking

Honour through labour is the ultimate goal
Achievement’s prefect sending an alert at every pause
Regulating inactivity to give idleness no chance
Demand is great and the stake is high	
Whether through the hands and sweat of the skin
Or through mental strain and thorough thinking
Regular stress is the propeller to its engine, but
Keep the ball rolling in a controlled speed
In the long run, the effect will begin to show
Narrow is the gap left, success is no more far
Goals and targets met, fulfillment the new crown

Premium Member carrot and stick

blood sweat and tears leave 
no stone unturned move heaven 
and earth pull your weight

go to great lengths make 
a supreme effort bust a 
gut and go all out

give it everything 
you’ve got burning desire 
step up to the plate

fire in the belly
spur on drive someone get the 
ball rolling take pains

take the bull by the 
horns jump on the bandwagon
and pull your socks up

eager beaver stay 
the course give it your all throw 
yourself into it

keep your eye on the 
prize light a fire underneath and 
pull out all the stops

roll up your sleeves bite 
the bullet and pushing the 
envelope spur on

Premium Member How To Meet Gorgeous Women

How does a man meet a gorgeous woman
So it doesn't seem you're out on the make
If she smiles, that gets the the old ball rolling
Take it slow with each step you take

Start with talking about the fun you're having
Then ask her if she's having fun too
Imagine your arms wrapped around this beauty
And kissing this sweet babaloo

Duck if she tries to hit you with a chair
And screams bloody murder out loud
Probably misread this sweet lassie's signals
Best to just disappear in the crowd

Problem arises if she follows you home
Yelling some very naughty words
Pretend you don't know this very strange lady
As her blows make your vision blurred

No one promised success the first try
Eventually you ARE gonna hit pay dirt
You'll wonder forever why it took so long
As she coyly takes off her skirt!!!

Blessing Oluwapelumi, Keep the Ball Rolling

Dream 
        Swim through
          Cream the treats
            And follow keenly

The stream
Of the trying glue
Making up awesome beats
Of sounds filed serenely

      Sleep
        Don't hesitate
           To chill down
             Today's gladden heart

So deep
Of driving memories state
Within-out the colorful town
That makes celebration an art

        Oh she is but a simple leaf
          Withering off its branch
           Having a new apt hope
             For the coming bliss
               Upon loamy soil
                 To live on and 
                     Never die
                       Unjust!

                       In brief
                  If soil stanch
                No room for rope
            Target rather go amiss
        And to the source shall recoil
     Its functionality to the very grand
   Set in fear to never again break the tie
  For such memory ever barely live in dust

  The world:- of your life's infernal gyration
Shall forever be a dream off consummation

Amen ??

Shyness Is a Disease

Shyness is a Disease

It happens without warning,No symptoms,No signs.
I wish it were something i could control!.
It always seems to stop me dead in my tracks,Unable to put words together,
I feel fear seeming to be unsure of saying the wrong thing or sounding silly or to be taken the wrong way.
Once the conversations starts to relax and starts to flow the fear subsides.
But i always have trouble starting the ball rolling,this is why i agree shyness is a disease as a cure is always close at hand in the way of a friendly hello or the initiative of others breaking the ice for me.
Shyness is a disease.

Premium Member Play Misty For Me

Hello there, beautiful woman behind the piano.
Would you please play a melody I’m sure you know?
To this crowd here tonight, I’m in the mood to sing.
The lyrics I convey should have a familiar ring.
With this bourbon and soda, I cannot drown my sorrow.
I want to describe how I feel.  Let’s give it a go.

I have to tell you that my lady and I are through.
Her departure from the scene has made me so blue.
Alas, my partner has proven to be untrue.
You are so marvelously talented at what you do.
Let your dexterous fingers glide across each key.
We will get the ball rolling with the familiar tune “Misty”.

At Any Rate Contest

“At any rate”, be fast moving and be full of surprises 
Take control of what you have, make no sacrifices 
Stay on top of your game and keep the ball rolling
Have intention, keep direction and know where you’re going
If you become predictable, embrace a change
Don’t risk becoming mediocre or, worse, mundane 
Evolution is essential to keep up with the world around
Attentiveness will speak volumes, don’t mute the sound
I don’t just want you to jump.  I want you to dive
Head first, steady paced, motivation and drive
The world is your red carpet, but only for a while
Don’t postpone it or loan it, but own it and smile

Premium Member Traction Stornello

Now I have been forced into this position,
I hate having to change my plan of action.
Left to start this ball rolling to gain traction. 

This demeanor so commonly full of poise,
I detest the use of superfluous noise.
The rest of my arsenal surely deploys.

My reflection slowly begins splintering
as indignant skin succumbs to blistering. 
What I’m repeating is not registering.

Yanking at my emotions only to see 
when to pull hard or proceed delicately.
I’m starting to feel you are here to test me.

Your image once clicked initiates rage bait
to rush out of control I can’t moderate.
I wish I had walked away, now it’s too late.
