Cold Showers Don'T Chill Thrills

I was talking to this sexy 
girl on the net ( I cannot tell you her name )
I’ve seen her picture on facebook 
A pic that will make you sweat.

We were talking naughty pics
Don’t ask, the subject just came up one day
Ok it was just quick flirty comments
If I must say

Then two hours later 
An email comes through
Saying a private naughty pic
Just between me and you

Now this woman is hot
Worth the burns on and hands
But you know me :-)
I had to stop the pic from stimulating any glands

So I thought 
I would kill two birds with one stone
I’d have a cold shower 
While I have a private viewing at home

Out came the extension cord for the laptop
As I balanced it on one hand (does it matter which hand?)
In a cold shower 
I slowly panned

Reading the message
I scrolled and paused
It said
Here I am dressed as Santa Clause

With a wet finger
I scrolled with eyes wide
And saw a cartoon pic
Of Daddymas shaking his but cheeks from side to side

As I read the inscription
“Gottcha now get back to work”
An electric power surge went through me
Which made me berserk

I bounced off the ceiling 
The floor and walls
And landed on the edge of the bath 
Right on my Sidney Halls

Me wife rushed upstairs
And when she saw this, beat me some more
With her faithful
2X4

Now it’s ok to have
A 1970s Afro in some cases
But for a bald man like me
It’s not, especially in the wrong places

The electricity made me hairs stand on end
Under me arms and me private bit which drove me insane
Particulally when it makes you walk
For a week like John Wayne

But the good thing is when we eventually 
Made love in the dark
I made her eyes light up 
And even spark

Well I learned me lesson
And won’t do that again
I balance the laptop in the basin
And try to use a stick to scroll, which is a pain.

PS: Thanks Doris you owe me a new laptop 

Happy thanksgiving

You Can Do Anything

I'm sixty years old 
tomorrow is not Guaranteed
if I live for another twenty 
or thirty years I'd be doing well

In thirty years 
when I die 
the world will not 
matter to Me '

I'll be gone 
no more wages
no need for food
I meet my maker 

and stand proud
saying I tried to stop wars
I tried to save your planet
I tried to help people

I'll not be ashamed
I'll have self-respect
but the people of the world 
will still be here

your children 
their children
the children of their children
will still be here

Do you as a world 
want to continue 
teaching them to fight
Do you as a world 

Want to continue 
polluting your planet
destroying your food resources
destroying plants and animals

we depend on honeybee's
to pollinate plants
destroy the bees
and you destroy your food resources

as we pump carbon 
into the atmosphere
heat increases
floods increase 

Heat, on the ocean
creates more steam
more steam creates more clouds 
more clouds create more rain

flood in one country 
fires in another 
If you put a pot fat on the range
turn on the element
 
The solid in the pot turn's 
into a liquid
perhaps increasing the heat 
by destroying the ozone layer

could soften the land 
and be responsible for 
increasing earthquakes 
and the tsunami

Granted that might be stretching
the truth we have tectonic plates    
The Earths floating crusts will always move
Tectonic Plates moving against each other

Cause Earthquakes
somethings we can change
somethings we have to accept
as part of nature

But we can change the type 
of machines we use
we can build factories 
that run on electric power

It does not matter which country
creates pollution 
the pollution goes
into everyone's atmosphere

We have one world
we are all apart of the one world
check out DNA we are all human
not aliens we are all related

We have one planet
fight bicker and destroy that planet
and your children will have no future
stand together in a war against climate change

Then perhaps you can build a better future
you can create the happiness 
you can build Disney lands all over the world
invest together and you can do anything

God of the Storm, Hurricane

In a blink of an eye.
Powerful destroyer force.
You came to clean. 
To take what was yours.

You have a way to 
bring us together again. 
Family, friends and neighbors
worrying for each other.

You teach us about:
Patience, letting go, 
resilience, appreciation… 
Showing us what really matters. 

Simple things that
We take for granted.
Water, food, house,
Electric Power, cell phones…

Doesn’t matter, if you are
rich or poor,
Black or white… 
Only humans help each other.

“God of the Storm”
We still have much to learn.
I know you will come back 
For now, the calm return.

Premium Member In Deep Peril

While sailing unimpeded in the sea of hope
Sloshing over its expanding silver
Like a sailor addicted to the sea
Feeling the electric power of waves
Unwilling to be restrained
An avalanche of despair hit from behind
Shattering my Titanic like egg shells

I am now brutally ripped apart, 
Desperately clutching at the shattered pieces
How a smiling visage turned sinister
In no time before any hint could be got

Here I am on a perilous voyage
Swimming against the stab of fear
With no lighthouse in view
A float tossed about by an uncanny fate!
Is my escape an armistice with life?
I see someone swimming by my side
A hooded assassin or a Saviour
To drown me or take me to a safe shore
I wonder!

Premium Member Smile

Busting our ass all day
Just to see our money go its own way
With all this trying to get ahead
Trying to keep ourselves fed
The price of each word said
Breaking our back
High prices on the attack
Seems your working for free
Spending all the money before a penny you even see
Working all week paid per hour
Just to pay for your electric power
Cost of gas to run to town
No wonder everyone wears a frown
It gets them down
What's that smile going to cost. 
Grab it before the moment is lost
To live, cost so high
Paying the bills same as mask men making you reach for the sky
Figuring out where the money went.
Before you left the house it was already spent
 Kids needing this or that. 
My wallet ain't all that fat
Robbery of the poor
When the rich has so much more
Yet higher, the cost of living does soar
Work all week
Of my money I get nary a peek
Where does it all go
For it I have nothing to show
That's all I know

Tornado Destruction
the tornado came
at first tame

Wind Whirling
the wind strong
blowing things along

Trees Blowing
the trees bending
branches far sending

Houses Gone
many homes destroyed
leaving a void

Electricity None
no electric power
a shattered tower

Food Spoiled
all gone bad
that is sad

Premium Member A Real Living Current

Such a force is electricity
it's such a dangerous force
it can't be taking for granted
for it's a active living source

It's so much part of modern age
so many appliances we have nowadays
without electric power it be no use
many new inventions leaves one amaze

Remember my first job after school
electrical apprentice was my role
many a story I could tell
drove many up the pole

In these days caused many a shock
even myself was literally taken aback
such currents didn't taste too good
when left on floor on the rack

So the lesson is very clear
be very careful with electric
keep yourself far from it
it's current can make you sick!


(This is wriiten from my experience as Apprentice electrician in my first job where I was found out to be colour blind, this showed me to get a few shocks.)

Premium Member We are witnesses to the final act of a mad and incendiary project

We are witnesses to the final act of a mad and incendiary project,
an experiment of a world bound by invisible and shining wires,
the reckless belief that we can always be connected, always alight,
that electric power, like a river of light, can flow unceasingly
for eight billion souls dreaming under the same dark sky.
I imagine how each cable vibrates like a nerve of the earth,
pulsing with promises of progress, but also with unseen shadows,
while cities open their neon eyes to the dark horizon,
and the stars, once sisters of desires, disappear under a veil of light.
We feel how night and day merge into a dance without pause,
how sleep becomes a relic from times when silence was a gift,
and our thoughts, like captive birds, fly in infinite circles,
seeking a place of rest in a world that no longer knows peace.
In the depths of this network, we dream of connections to soothe us,
but we forget the roots that bind us to the earth that nourishes us,
we forget that beneath the brightness of cities, the earth weeps iron tears,
and that the echo of these tears resonates in our hearts thirsty for quiet.
Now, at this crossroads, facing the mirror of time,
we see how the world wavers under the weight of our burning desires,
how each light bulb lit brings a deeper shadow into the soul,
and how the consequences burn like a fire that cannot be extinguished with bare hands.
Let us turn our gaze to the sky beyond the screens,
to rediscover the stars that listened to the stories of our ancestors,
to remember how to breathe in the dark without fear of the unknown,
to let silence surround us, like a balm for weary souls.
Thus, perhaps we will learn to truly live again,
to connect not just through wires, but through hearts beating in unison,
in a world where light and darkness share their place with wisdom,
and where the dream of being always alight is replaced by the desire to be alive.

Premium Member Current War

A lightbulb conjures Edison 
but shines on another,   
relevant
in the war of currents, (1)
that another player sparked -  
vastly intelligent. 
It would be the world's fate
to have its current alternate, 
and, too, Tesla spared the elephant. (2)

(1) In the "War of the Currents" in the late 1880s and early 1890s, surrounding the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems, Thomas Edison promoted Direct Current (DC), and Nikola Tesla promoted Alternating Current (AC), which is now the standard for power grids around the world. 

(2) Per Wikipedia, "In popular culture, Topsy [the elephant] is often portrayed as being electrocuted in a public demonstration organized by Thomas Edison during the war of the currents to show the dangers of alternating current."  However, it goes on to reveal a more complex (but just as horrible) truth.
