Written after re-reading the fable ‘the tortoise and the hare’ … I thought I would give the story a little updating!
A racehorse and an old donkey challenged one another to a race
‘I’m sure to win’ said the racehorse with a smirk upon her face
She said ‘Don’t bother lining up you stupid little ass
You should stay in the pasture, munching on the grass’
The old donkey gave the racehorse a knowing look
She’d met her sort before – one day she’ll write a book
They lined up at the starting line; the starter read some rules
The racehorse just ignored them saying ‘rules are just for fools’
So the racehorse shot off like a bullet being fired from a gun
Determined to win the race she thought she’d have some fun
Dashing far ahead of donkey she’d soon reach the winner’s sign
Donkey was trotting slowly; she was lagging so very far behind
Racehorse was so far in front she was convinced she’d win the race
But if she’d listened to all the rules she wouldn’t soon fall from grace
For the starter said that the last one past the post who would be the winner
So donkey stopped to munch some grass, as she wanted to eat some dinner
When donkey finally passed the finishing line she was really happy
Racehorse was crestfallen to lose the race, and she got very snappy
The moral of this story is first past the post doesn’t always win
And if you are a sore loser you’ll just have to take it on the chin!

We spent the day together reliving
old stories of collegiate escapades
Reunions, however small, resurrect
vigor that dies on the vine of retirement
Wrinkles and hair define with prominence
updating mental avatars
But personalities remain unchanged
while living on the carpet of decline
The last time we met all was before us
and now it is mostly behind
Profound is the difference
Pronounced is the movement
that time forces men to follow
as death captures the weak
while others languish
while living on the carpet of decline

This House
David J Walker
This house means something to me
Its pride in its shelterings from the
Batterings
And elements
I could not survive
On my own
This house means something to me
I’ve given it everything its asked for
That I can afford
Like the mystery of love
And children
And the scrutiny of neighbors
And city inspectors
This house means something to me
For which I have paid dearly
Demanding
Nearly every penny I could earn
Sometimes I yearn
For the days when
Father paid for everything
And Mother made
Everything else
This house means something to me
We’ve settled into a
comfortable
Lifestyle of unintentional
Neglect
This house means something to me
I am
Updating the frame
That remains
The goal of the
Coming seasons
But is there really a reason
To look newer in
And older
Neighborhood
What we want is -
Not always what we need
But what we need is not
Always what we want
Which is more so important
Do they actually go hand in hand
Like if if we did not recognise bad
How would we know what is good
Like one believes god or the devil
Like having a plus without a minus
Separating one from the other?
Seems a bit of a head doa, at times
Decisions yeah all these decisions
But is it possible to really separate
Your wants from your needs?
When you want something so bad
That you are willing to do anything
But what if you need something
You then have to stop and think
About what it is that comes first
Your wants or is it your needs?
Probably makes no sense this idea had for some time though Im going back on
old writes updating a bit with this more of a manifesto but also trying not to ryhme
unlike others or though with some others like fate and coruiosity suck to a diffrent pattern
same as with you ill be and others currently working on mother earth some of the last few writes
ive taken or drawn from a big epic one i wrote that I put on here before chrismas but scapped
at time as I thought to much content so my last few wrirs are drawn from this
ut if i had not of come on soup in first place then probably would not have had the insperation to go back on old writes
And of course write anything new WRITTEN BY MY SELF DAVIDSCOTT MARCH 2013
OR THOUGH IDEA DISCUSTED WITH FRIEN BACK IN JAN FEB 2008,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,wants and needs

“How are you doing?”… (sigh)… “Busy”… we hear and say it all the time
Wearing our busyness as a badge of honor while stuck in the grind
Why are we are always moving like we have somewhere else to be
Perpetually pushing forward as the world swirls under our feet
We constantly craft our calendars only to arrive at those moments
To realize our happiness is still lacking the necessary components
Constantly spinning our wheels without stopping to ask our destination
Maybe it is time to consider updating our mode of transportation
Swapping the future for the present to stop scheduling and lean into today
Savoring the slices of life that are on our plate right now that will soon go away
Realizing that joy already resides closer to home than we think
But make sure to catch it though since it will be gone in a blink
Covid 19
Coronavirus
The reaper
Lives cut short
Families grow smaller
Children experience
the unimaginable
Mom Dad have no answers
why is this happening
What does shelter in place mean, essential
Why cant i go to school
why is mom home and crying more
Dad is worried, he sure is cranky
sometimes we have fun let loose but we know
the reaper is out there its just a matter of time they say.
The news is constantly updating the breaking news
more lives lost
The reaper is here, a lovely couple now a lonely single, Anniversary now a memorial no one can attend. Days will be cut short are these those days
the reaper is here
Once turning 18 on my birthday i booked and took my driving test
and thankfully i passed 1st time
Because failing comes at a cost
of another test followed by more
lessons
So since that day when i was granted my driving license and deemed legal then to drive and own a car
And every day and year since for
this privilege i have had to pay
road tax, insurance, fuel duty,
m.o.t and updating my license
Likewise in order to own a t.v
on a yearly basis i was forced
to buy a t.v license for the privilege
And when i got a pet dog for
Christmas so to i was forced
to get a licence him and myself
as an owner as well
And when i wished to become
an organ donor again i had to
apply for a licence
The only thing no one ever seemed
to need a licence for was the most
valid of them all a licence to become
a parent or a father
So what value of licensing and taxes
I passed my driving test got my
license and pay all the taxes that
entails.
And yet i drive on roads so full
of potholes my car is more often
in the garage than working
And though i am forced to pay
my t.v license everything is a
repeat and has nothing on it
to watch
And why i have to annually pay
to license my pet dog only
they can justify but do not feel
the need to
Or why i need a licence and it
is not compulsory to become
an organ donor
But i suppose the reason for
no one needing a licence to
have children is
Maybe it's because they are indeed
the future licenses and tax payers in
waiting
When I cry
Once upon a time I was very upset why?
I was updating my change of challenges to my unit of family. But I was very upset?
I am so kind that you know but you are the king of this planet who doesn't share the help
But I was so upset?
You have been having many pages of notes
To prove that lords & goddess exist but A smile like A crow you don't know how to welcome them but I am upset?
You are just cheating in humanity that this is ,Kalyug, A smile tomorrow nerve comes
But I am very upset?
One day I was sitting in a rain of my tears you All making laugh on me because clouds was only dark you All are dry of clothes your skin is not wet by the rain.only thunders of laughter and laughter My tears My blood my family your throwing words for shame you made me to called me money of monkey death is here
Rude I am update your time.but I am upset?
Because I am alone sometimes and remember my didi (akka)she holds the umbrella when I cry....?
With love all
