Captain Skeptic Kill Joy At Your Service If You Will

Show me a miracle
Or
Magic trick

And all i can think is how was it done

That is the level of sceptic i have become

With every believer comes a sceptic

Enter front and left Captain Sceptic

Sporting miracle,
Betting scandal

Predict the future,
Calculate the odds algorithm

Magic trick,
Smoke and mirrors slight of hand

If it's to good to be true it generally is

And there is no such thing in life 
that's free 

That doesn't come with strings attached

The greatest piece of single advice
a burns survivor ever imparts is

Read the small print fastidiously
before signing

Otherwise you are going to need the
services of a very good lawyer


Premium Member A Rat’s Tale

My two pet rats so cheeky and bright,
  one brown and one black and white,
who live only a short age
  rattlin’ around in their cage.

I love their soft smooth furry coats
  and large bulbous scrotes -
that long ratty tail that grows,
  big eyes and ears and twitchin’ nose!

Jumpin’ and playin’ and runnin’,
  so adventurous and so cunnin’.
Always fastidiously cleanin’ -
  primpin’ and groomin’ and preenin’,

or on the loose goin’ AWOL
  in the lounge room or down the hall
busy chasin’ and busy hurryin’,
  and busy climbin’, hidin’ and scurryin’!

Hear them up the Christmas tree
  jinglin’ and janglin’ - a joy to see.
Or on the sofa playful and bolder
  huddlin’ on my shoulder -

scamperin’ down my shirt and sleeve
  furry heads in and out weave.
And truly I am a lover of all
  God’s creatures great and small -

my gorgeous little rats so loved by me,
  one called Hunter and one, Karmy!

My Theoretical Magnum Universal Opus

Inadvertently i think i may have
stumbled across and now settled
upon my very own

Theoretical Magnum Universal Opus

Pondering the unknown universe
thus far and the eternal search
for the meaning of life

If God is as we are lead to
believe is the bringer of the light

Imagine a singular simple speck 
or ray of light exploding into space
That triggers off and sets in motion 
a chain reaction 
One begets two and so on and 
so on that will infinitely expand
Searching for evermore storage
space to call it's own
Into which to cramb it's knowledge 
and facilitate its continual search 
to shine it's light upon

Because every single lifeform 
seems to follow fastidiously this
1 Universal rule of truth
Once we are born we then view
ourselves as a freshly new formed
universe within a universe of
which we are both center and
master their of

Because if light is in fact
the 1 true  bringer of life 
Should that light it in itself 
ever die
So then to paradoxically would 
all lifeform die along with it
as well

And would we then not
return to whence before
nothin not even nothing
existed at all 

Where even God can not exist
as their is not even an atom of
energy or matter to conjure up 

A ray of light in order to be able
to create a universe or lifeform
out if in the 1st place

Premium Member Each Quiver Would Fall

Penelope’s in a hopeless quandary, backed into a corner.
She enjoyed the flirt of youth. Had no one warned her?
She rejected freedom of reflection. ‘Who’s she? ...not a saint.’
Penelope painted on her face, mirror-perfection - faithfully quaint.
Platinum blonde tresses, like a fisherman’s net, she caught men.
Each quiver would fall helpless -  guts and glory auf wiedersehen.*
Poison of poise and perfume - ahh, ylang ylang like chains.
With serpentine strength of a boa, in crushing the mighty, she reigns.
Caught by two knights, found unfaithful, she’s dragged to the quay.
“The truth,” one spit out. The other, “You witch!”   ‘Another day
perhaps she’d do penance.’  She struck fast with doppelganger asps,
fastidiously holding them below their necks, she’d practiced the grasp.
Dear, sweet, tears - she’d developed an antivenom and a liar’s remorse.
Delicate angel, tender child -  she fights fire with fire not with brute force.
She drops to her knees as the knights dive and she releases the snakes.
“Oh why! Oh why would these men leap to their deaths over me?”
The guards believe the improbable, gushing to her aid. Penelope’s free.

Premium Member Disappointing Novel

At the beginning of this novel I had no idea 
The hero would betray the heroine, 
That is not my favorite plot,
matter of fact, it is now my least favorite.

The cover and the synopsis were fastidiously written.
Neither gave this away. I had no idea it was happening.
Two thirds of the way through I think the author thought
Damn! This has to end somehow, but how?

The next time I see this author’s name I will not
take any trouble to buy her book, as a matter of fact,
I will boycott it, thanks to this catastrophe.
Wait a second. She is turning things around again.
More later, I only have two chapters left to go.


Premium Member My Halloween Kitty

My Halloween Kitty (written 10/11/2020) free verse

I had a familiar named Callie
She was born on Halloween.

Feral siblings abandoned at my door.
I took the whole litter to the SPCA.
They neutered and spayed them all for me.
The ears were notched so they’d go free 
if the pound police appeared.

I brought the clowder home and cared for them
until their stitches had permanently healed,
then allowed them outside to roam on their own.
They all left for adventures beyond –
with the exception of Callie.

Callie was brindled in black and orange
with a white-star chest and white-tipped tail;
short hair she maintained fastidiously.
She continually spoke to me in cat language
and we managed a conversation of sorts.

She bid me good day as I left in the mornings 
and listened to my tales when I returned.
She monitored my feelings as if a therapist
and counseled me on the course I must take
when I was feeling at my lowest. 

I called her my Halloween kitty
and she expressed that was okay.
We counted years by her birthdays,
celebrating Halloween every year.
She disregarded the trick-or-treaters.

My sounding board and steadfast friend;
I miss her terribly now that she’s gone.
She remained with me 17 years, two years passed,
through sad, glad, distress, and happiness.
She was my mainstay on my darkest days.

I had a familiar named Callie
She was born on Halloween.

Big Bang Theory Trying To Explain the World and Times Today

Genesis

One hypothesis is according to

Theoretical Physicists 

The origins beginning

Start of the know universe 

How it expanded is

The Big Bang Theory 

The greatest modern day minds and thinkers

Are currently studying fastidiously 

In order to try and solve this puzzle

And hopefully discover answers

To be of some relevance or use today

The one thing I take personally

Out of or from this in particular Theory

Is and that makes perfect sense to me

In the present tense and world still today

Is the Big Bang was born out of a

Violent , cataclysmic , explosive

Event that descend and expanded

Into total and utter unbridled kaos 

Which is pretty much the way

We as human beings live our lives today 

The status quo remains

The same to this very day 

So in effect we are back to the beginning

Nothing much has changed at all

Come to think of it 

We haven't really moved on 

Or progressed at all 

Only time itself 

Wiser far more knowledgeable supposably

Able to contemplate the complex

Yet seemingly still unable to

Solve and come up with solutions

To the simple state of the human condition

Premium Member Mrs M a Fastidiously Fussy Teacher

Mrs M was a teacher with a clean desk
there was only one pencil in there
it was always sharpened
and a pink eraser that looked brand new
I never saw an ink pen

the top of her desk had a small plaque
with her name starting with Mrs. of course
Even though she was divorced
She never wanted the students to know about it
We all did

She was fastidiously neat and fussy
staying late to sterilize desks and seats
she inadvertently taught me one big lesson
I never wanted to be like her
She was too punctilious; cleanliness was her world.
Students were probably twenty-six on her priority list.

A Spiritual Saint's Strength Amidst Strife

A SPIRITUAL SAINT'S STRENGTH AMIDST STRIFE 

Fortitude for half a century, giving God all the glory,
The Foundress of Holy Family lived a humble, godly life,
St. Mariam Thresia - a stigmatic saint's story
Filled with many troubles, temptations and strife,

From Puthenchira, an Indian Syro-Malabar Catholic
Consecrated herself to the Lord at eight or nine years,
Modest and meek, serving the poor and the sick,
She was disciplined, obedient and different from her peers,

With childlike simplicity, charismatic charity and Christian chastity,
Fastidiously following Father Vithayathil's fine footsteps,
The "virgin of pains" was for Family Apostolate, the model entity,
Nursing the sick and dying by visiting them at their doorsteps,

Burning with intense love for God, she was a mystic soul,
"Whose Heart was aglow with fire and whose feet were winged",
Enduring her sufferings for the sake of Christ was her goal,
Her patient, divine spirit was with radiant sweetness tinged,

She had fervent trust in God's immense providence,
Her spiritual ecstasy was hours of prayer and meditation,
The "Apostle of suffering", she strived for her continence,
Wiping the tears of the broken hearted was her consolation,

Her gracious gift of goodness guides us all in giving 
Care, concern and compassion to the comfortless at  all cost,
Her lasting legacy left behind still leads the living
To show His love, shine His Light and shelter the lost.

Premium Member An Accursed Grin

Inside me shrieking like a banshee,
dark shadows hold an accursed grin;
Old wounds are licked fastidiously;

Always wreaking havoc painfully,
squirming below my butter soft skin;
Inside me shrieking like a banshee; 

My darkest demons they run madly
and feed on that deeply buried sin;
Old wounds are licked fastidiously;

Any who harbor them would agree 
it’s easy to tell where they have been; 
Inside me shrieking like a banshee;

They taste just like insecurity;
You can feel it before they begin, 
old wounds are licked fastidiously;

No matter how I try I can’t flee
they’re that part imbedded within;
Inside me shrieking like a banshee, 
old wounds are licked fastidiously.
