Mr MacPherson, a mathematician
Was married to Sally,a keen statistician.
With little division to trigger vexation
Their conjugal lives led to multiplication.
First Roland, then Harry and then the addition
Of first daughter Jenny, a gifted logician.
The one common factor of great satisfaction
Engendering fervour and strong interaction
Was love of arithmetic, logic and theories
Together with quantum and harmonic series.
In sum, they endeavoured on every occasion
To bring mathematics within the equation!

Were
the
poems
of Oisin
a translation or
Jamie Mac's imagination ?
Note:James Macpherson author in 1762 of Fingal(Finn mac cool) epic on the 'White Stranger'of Irish mythology and Giants Causeway legend.
Flinging, splattering,dripping drop..by..drop
Unaware of the present,random spontaneity
in liquid flowing paint.
Motion made visible,memories
arrested in space,the painting
lives a life of its own in pure
harmony of easy give and take.

Turn off your youthlight
and say farewell to the child
embrace the gist of it
WE ARE NO LONGER FUN AND WILD
Face the fact
accept the fear
Examine thy cracks
between the front and the rear
Fun is no more
OLD AGE is now in store
put down that COOL AID
take pleasure in the tea
Watch the PRICE IS RIGHT
Bob Barker is alright with me
Goodbye SCOOBY DOO
Sayonara WINNIE THE POOH
Arrivederci HAPPY DAYS
and don't forget LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY,too!
Our destiny is in the JOINTRITIS
The precious parts start to SAG
Lovin' isn't so easy these days
THE WEENIE is waving its flag
MY-MY!
Time is passing by
Those SWIMSUIT issues to put away
"ELLE MACPHERSON: I say goodbye!!"
Soft in the gut
New ideas put me in a rut
So now the stomach tells all
We might as well CHOW DOWN at PIZZA HUT!
American POP CULTURE:
MTV days
Clara Peller saying with gusto:
WHERE'S THE BEEF and pronto!!
People need youth
To suck on vitality
LOOK IN THE MIRROR,GOOD PEOPLE
and face MIDDLE-AGE reality
The end of my tale
This lesson to be learned well
A STIFF UPPER LIP
and take pride in our ADVANCING HELL!
