Premium Member Pickle Balls and Paddle Bells

  ~ to the tune of 'Jingle Bells,' please ~

     
   Tushies slide, what a ride
     slipping on the ice
   All we need’s a beaming bride
    and a few bouquets of rice

   Where’s the groom, in his room
     with Cinderella’s mice
   Stitching up a triple-plus size
     for his buxom bride’s bo-som… ooom!

   It’s Christmas Eve, and Santa’s drunk
     so he can be the preacher
   Administer last rites instead of I do’s
     come morn, he’s ‘Rudolfo Screecher’

   O, Pickle Balls and Paddle Bells
     they’re the tunes we croon
   When the bride screams, ‘What?’
   Spooks begin to strut ~
     by the light of a cardboard Moon

  O, Pickle Balls and Paddle Bells
    the only songs we sing
  When the bride cries, ‘Wha hoppened?’
  We tell her, Popcorn’s Poppin’ ~
     for her wedding meal next June

Passos

Passos

Cláudia, 
seus passos 
percorrem 
os corredores 
com força visível;
o som de 
cada passo
é uma melodia
aos ouvidos,
guia os passos 
de Santanenses
que 
buscam 
alento.

Mil Obrigados Cláudia
por todos nós
de Santana da Ponte Pensa.


Canta

Canta

Bella & Vaidosa
ela canta, 
e junho 
se rende 
ao seu refrão,
em cada nota, 
a promessa de 
fazer muito,
faz mais e mais, 
seu canto ecoa, 
é o som 
da revolução
do com pouco
fazer mais e mais.

Bella & Vaidosa
tu és nossa 
inspiração.

Tempo

Tempo

Nas linhas 
do tempo, 
o tom 
é feminino,
e no som 
entre feriados,
as mulheres, 
os dias não 
são poetisas 
do tempo, 
e donas 
da história.

Em Junho, 
com seus dias 
tão contados,
as mulheres,
Bellas & Vaidosas
desenham sonhos, 
constroem glória,
mostram  
que em tempo
abreviado
também se faz,
mais e mais.

Diferente

Diferente

No Domingo,
ou outro dia,
uma fala
que descreve
um mundo,
é uma série de 
diferenças de som 
combinadas com 
uma série de 
diferenças de ideias
que leva 
uma pessoa,
toda a gente
a fazer mais
e
mais.

Premium Member A Pickle Party

Let’s all bring our mortar and pestle
And have a party of great papaya pickle
We call this a famous Thai ‘’som tum”
So delicious! Heavenly awesome!

Let’s first wear our kitchen attire
Dance the Thai music, don’t be shy
Then prepare all the somtum ingredients
For superb taste, a hundred percent.

Main is fresh green papaya, shredded thinly
Raw string beans, chopped evenly
Dried shrimps, fish sauce, limes and lots of chili
Tomatoes, peanuts and crabs smashed heavily.

Yummy somtum is always served with sticky rice
Paired with fried chicken—get more, twice, thrice…
A long table party, others can sit on a mat
While enjoying somtum scrumptiously hot!

Note *hot =means very spicy (but yummy)

Please watch the video on YT on how to make super delicious Thai Somtum

The Wine Waitron

Hello. Good evening. I greet you with cheer
To the fancy and posh, I'm a Sommelier
To the friendly and warm, call me The Som
And to the simple, less worldly, I'm a wine waitron

My job here at Lanser's? To satisfy your senses
Don't panic or worry, cos it doesn't mean expensive
It's all about ensuring a meal utterly divine
By combining your dish with a most wonderful wine

Miss Lucy, she's named after the endangered Stumpnose
Bursting with flavours of the pamplemousse rose
A few sips of her, right before your first bite
Miss Lucy will gift you one heck of a night

They say it's the lost element when you're making wine
It's precious and free, we call it the Work of Time
Our Bordeaux Blend birthed in 2001
When it passes your lips, the fun's just begun

When I visit your table, resist a sideways look
We're here for a good time, let's play by the book
And if you're prepared to throw me a bone
You may just get poured another Life from Stone

Ouvir

Ouvir

O som 
que ouço
me inspira, 
cala o barulho 
até da cidade.

Vejo, e vendo, 
vivo,
sinto 
e cheiro 
saboreio
ouço e 
escuto
me encanto
e faço
mais e mais

Chave De Ouro 2022

Chave de ouro 2022

Se você se une
a pessoa 
para trabalhar 
naquilo que está 
diante de todas, 
com ostinato rigore,
vigor e calma
mas satisfeita
com sua atividade atual, 
e com a verdade 
absoluta em
cada palavra 
e som que 
você proferir, 
você vai 
viver 2022 feliz. 

Em tudo, com 
ostinato rigore,
nunca vai encontrar
qualquer pessoa 
que seja capaz 
de impedir 
você fazer
mais e mais.

Olá. Você já sabe, mas nunca vai custar lembrar - Hoje é o 1º dia de 2022. 
Para abrir seu ano com “CHAVE DE OURO” ENTREGO O PRIMEIRO PODCAST DE 2022. Vou falar sobre auto eficácia. Bem aqui: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ll1iOAZskq0rCjnez5WMy?si=17KCmrrsT0C4FPi9Y9vlHQ

Ecos

Ecos

Este mundo,
sua vida e 
seus negócios 
refletem o som
de uma montanha de eco.

Se você dá 
gritos de incentivo
a montanha ecoa
milhares de pessoas 
para combinar 
seus esforços, 
talentos, idéias, 
entusiasmo 
e sua vontade
para trabalhar juntos
e fazer sempre
mais e mais.

Golden Point

Well one always wishes for that wich,

Isnt entirely possible,

Bits n bytes,

But not full mights,

Anyway it wud be better to hav som,

Yet then wat wud b the difference,

Of the biggest reward,

If u aready take ur pleasure now,

So to speak,

Patience has been a key,

Of all times success,

So God Willing,

Let’s dive in!

Wake Up

My Kallam has been yearning for som' to write,
Doesn't care if the day is dark or the yard is bright.
Hungry to put some dance steps on paper,
And wouldn't allow for me to postpone this for later;

Listen, oftimes I just wanna write 'bout life's riddle,
And how we ride it's tides without a briddle...
How life takes away our days and yet we rejoice,
Forgetting that each passing day is giving Asrael a choice;

So easily we forget to check ourselves, retrace our steps
And indulge in ibadah that purifies and helps.
It makes us daydream that we're gonna be here forever,
When those that have gone are plentious-
Than drops of waters that make a river;

I asked my pen if it was okay to do this Nasi'ah,
And it said "Poet do you" and have no fear.
I just wanna wake us all from our unnecessary slumber,
that every day we're diminishing our mortal number;

Let's live today in the light of reality
That regardless of our class in the society,
All shall answer to He who sent us here,
Whether you ugly as an owl, or prettiest as a deer.

Niggyraslife!

Quality

Mistake and Regret are my old friends
but I seldom carry them along.
Vanity and Ego, though not so old,
have recently bonded strong.

I tend to forget Gratitude's grant
Liberal has lost approbation.
Patience vacated my house for long
Arrogance has claimed possession.

Wish 'had nurtured Humility
been cordial with Amity,
but worst of all, how could I brawl
with a pal like Humanity.
