except when its not -
Hands are of course handy as a glove
Except for ties that knot.

Alas, rabbits do catch viral myxomatosis
Since Jan's is a famous banging bunny
Who stays far from field and ANY honey
Energizer Bunny will bang on till unconscious!

For his battery charge had gone low 
He relaxed on a barge
Got a solar recharge
Now he’s able to drum a solo

Are you the CEO
of your passion
the chief of your desires

Are you the captain
of your intention
the master of what inspires

Are you the owner
of your discovery
the clearing in the fog

Are you the light
of your reflection
— a servant before God

There is no other Name that opens heaven’s gate:

O sweet LORD Jesus, why did so much blood pour
O kind Jesus, how sweet the Father’s Love, His Door
Is flung open as you tore the veil, took sin and hate
For me – for whosoever will come to you – by the Holy Spirit

Past sixty, I can sharpen well
On pencils, invite wise romance -
Each held right, Sharp'ner in left, hand(s)

Recall youth: Sharp'ning loud and quick
You broke them more than you'll admit

On Thursday my boobies will get squashed
(My armpits will be thoroughly washed)
Can’t use deo or spray
so I’ll whiff on that day
Mammograms show cancer can be quashed

Always makes me smile that my appointment letter comes from Bristol because in cockney rhyming slang ‘Bristols’ is slang for breasts.

He did not revolt; Gandhi offered him a method he despaired finding -
Mere men and women see darkly. One ethnic eye, one condescending
Great human beings are great human DOINGS, too. And forgiving ....

Happiness is wanting what you already HAVE now.

2. LISTEN. Always work on listening skills, for OPPORTUNITY often knocks very softly.

When the erstwhile Tweeter-in-Chief vents
It is "Freedom of Speech," a First Amendment Right
When Democratic Party will "fight" tyrant-efforts
Defense rests on moral equivalence, yet last night
As many as seven Republican Senators got Party censures
For voting to convict Christian Trump of incitement (01/06/2021)
