Big Jam Sandwich

If you want your big jam sandwich
Pay attention to your stomach
Looking down at your toes…
You can see them – add more butter!

Forex Trading

Me doing the Wall Street
Different currencies I buy and I sell;
During one evening or morning
Without any crying and moaning...
I loose/win some money;
Sarcastically laughing or breaking in smiles…
Because I was stupid or smart - You decide.

Advice: How To Handle Joy, Burden, Stress

When you experience great joy 
Or under sorrow’s unwonted burden
Or feeling stress/duress…

You still would have an obligation 
To keep your station…

Above means that you need to watch
(Three things to keep under control)
Your weight, your mind and your big mouth.

Wag the Dog

We loved the movie
We enjoyed it…

It tells the truth about life
And it foretells it in advance…

With countries starting with an ‘A’:
Albania - Afganistan…

About Monica and Bill
And wars on terror just began…

And good new is:
It never ends!

Work

I’m not afraid of work
I don’t run away from it
I take great challenges head on…
If no work – I go to sleep;
If there's job – I slumber through it.

Three Kinds of People

First kind – the multitude of them
Who think just of themselves 
How tremendous they are
And nothing else moves or bothers them;

Second kind – less so
Who thinking of themselves 
'How unique we are'
And of others – in selfish ways of profit;

The third – very few of us
Who think of themselves foremost 
And, always, of others too,
Sometimes helping, 
But mainly - just to protect ourselves from vicissitudes of life;

Forth – none found in existence
Who think only of others
But naught of themselves;
Because - it’s Life.

Dawn of Day

Morning approaching fast…
Hateful sound of dreaded alarm
I’m squinting my eyes, realize
Dreams are gone and it all starts again.

Beauty

(Dedicated to Judith Sheindlin)

Beauty, often, wrongly makes Assumption
That Morality, Kindness to Others, Smartness
Is not for its Gorgeous Ilk 
And everything exists - just for her asking;
But Beauty fades and Dumbness is forever.

Mistakes of Youth

Youth, youth – just for some pretty skirt,
All of the sudden and without hesitation,
We manage to screw up a lot…
Because we use the other head
Instead of thinking - with the right one.
