A funny sight in Mid-Life



Isn’t it a funny sight?
To see women diet,
Never a care when eating to their fill,
Though it was always against their will!

And when she discovers that extra pound,
Pronto is her family starving found?
All attempts to rid of the love handles,
To the extent of lighting scented candles!

Isn’t it a funny sight?
To see men with all their fortitude fight,
To prove their manhood in all field,
For it’s not in them to yield!

So they pant and huff and puff,
Even they don’t know their own bluff,
On a mountain bike or a soccer ground,
Trying to keep them from becoming round!

Isn’t it a funny sight?
To see ourselves in situations tight,
Wobbling and struggling to top the race,
Knowing not we are just units in space!

Silhouette of me...

A friend took a picture, A silhouette of a person, His face hid in darkness, A smile, a frown or a grin? I know not of his state, But I do know of mine, There isn't a smile or laugh, Nor even a silly willy grin.

Yet I will dare to look up, And try to ease the crease, I've stopped asking "why", I'm willing to step in the lime.

The Philosopher and I

  “I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can’t find anybody who can tell me what they want.” – Mark Twain Once on a road trip my boys were bored and tired. As would any mother do, I thought I would entertain them to help shorten the journey. I let my hair down and rolled down the window of the car. The wind gushed in and blew my hair into the air. I called out to them and said, “Look, look. I am a wiiittcchhh.” They looked at me and my older one immediately disapproved, “No. You do not look like one.” Touched and amazed at his quick response, I thought to myself, “He would never call me a witch. He would oppose any reference of a witch (always a bad one) to his mother dear as outrageous. Filled with joy and ecstasy, oozing with a happy smile, I asked him, “Why not?” This philosopher-child’s answer taught me another wonder in life that is often hidden in this sugar coated world. He said unamused, “Witches are not FAT!” Probing d...

Well well...

Someone put it down well, Life when young is swell, You haven't got a penny, Energy and time's a plenty. Then you reach a stage, You don't think about age, The power and the money, No time and with no funny. So as you slow down a bit, With your diminishing wit, You hang on wishing hard, All you got is a time bard. But for me it's different, I got dues and pay rent, I have it all - energy money time, I have to choose and just rhyme!
