HAPPY SAPPY MOON.

February 1st 2010 06:13
A FUN POEM FOR YOUNG PEOPLE THE AGE OF FOUR OR MAYBE EVEN THREE.
SO GET READY AND BE MERRY, FOR WHEN YOU READ THIS POEM OUT LOUD, READ IT WITH A SMILE
AND MAKE FUNNY FACES STAND OUT, BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT TOO.

happy fun child moon


HAPPY SAPPY MOON.


I woke early one morning,
one very early morning indeed,
and to my unexpected surprise,
I saw a big round moon in full bloom,
mourning,
looking very anxious,
skimming for some long lost glimmer,
looking indispensably trimmer,
likened to a kite; flying high,
and that’s when I realized the glimmer was not dimmer,
the glimmer was me!

A big round happy sappy moon,
is sometimes laughing and maybe even playing,
but only when no one is prying,
he has all the time in the world to see,
how beautiful he can really be,
if he just simply stays put,
and hides his uncontrollable glee.

I woke up early one morning,
one very early morning indeed,
spoke to a flower in love with lots of colour,
and we laughed and hugged,
came to mutual understanding,
that even if it was not really at all demanding,
a big round happy sappy moon,
will always be, indeed, overwhelming.

Love! And be cheerful about it.

January 20th 2010 03:31
Am I a cheerful meadow or am I a blissful tree,
never mind I have so much cheer I could even be a bumblebee,
I smile with abandon as I sway with zeal,
it is the sweetest of all of this life's deals.
To fall in love is what I am on about,
to love with passion high above in the clouds,
to want to announce it to the world so loud,
to tell my love that my heart is willing and ever so proud.

love cheer song happy


A cheerful prose, it is indeed,
one of song and unquenched glee,
one that has weathered out so many storms,
and one that now finds itself calm and warm.

Why do donkeys eat artichokes?

January 2nd 2010 05:24
artichokes donkey smart funny


Why do these hardworking quadrupeds eat artichokes? If all donkeys eat artichokes, then it follows that if you eat artichokes you must be a donkey.
But then again when artichokes are served with oven cooked broad beans garnished with chopped dill, some crushed garlic, and a squeeze of lemon they are too good for any old donkey to eat.
So, do you eat artichokes? Or maybe you prefer something greasy served with chips cooked in artery clogging saturated fat, accompanied by other delights that are inundated with an obscene amount of sugar to send your pancreas in free fall. I wonder if donkeys eat artichokes in fast food convenience stores?
I guess they don’t, ergo I also guess I have answered my own question about donkeys and their sensible habit of eating artichokes.
I confess I am a closet artichoke eater and I have come out; I also do not think that I am a donkey.
Therefore, not all donkeys eat artichokes, because some of them are indeed, human and proud of it.

What do you mean, STUPID?

December 10th 2009 03:23
Well, what do you mean? Are you calling me stupid or are you asking me what stupid is?
Either way I find it abhorrent that you would even consider me remotely stupid, which is not the same as considering me entirely delinquent stupid! I do not understand, in fact I’d be surprised, if anyone has ever understood the true meaning of stupid. I assume off-course that everyone knows and understands the false meaning of that word. There you go again, how can anyone say I’m stupid if they themselves do not understand the bloody meaning of the word in the first place.
I know what inchoate means so who are you to call me stupid!

A free spirit in mourning.

December 2nd 2009 04:09
I often stop and prioritise my thoughts, I often stop and smell the daisies, and that is a deliberate act to remind me who I am and where I am. It seems to work for me.

A free spirit in mourning.

Hi Dave,
I might want to watch it. Clooney is a polished performer.
Don't you think?

Hi David
You exemplify the art of critical opinion.
I too was fortunate to watch this movie in 3D and to say I was mesmerized and taken to a level far beyond anything else I have ever been too in cinema is a true statement.
You mention this was an all out assault on the senses and that is also true.
I am in awe of the mind (James Cameron) that envisaged this world and had the prowess to bring it to life.
LOVED this movie like no other, due to its encompassing and usage of the latest technology in cinematic magic.
I also agree with you about the cinematic evolution as we are truly witnessing its next phase.
Thank you Mr. Cameron and many thanks David.

I still think however that Lawrence of Arabia is one of the all time best movies ever made.

Hi
I can relate to your loss and can only say that you need to stay strong for your friend's daughters.
She's gone and you miss her terribly and will never forget her, and her children need to be reminded how great their mum was.
I guess love is the answer and don't stop flaunting it, even if they sometimes may not get it.
Don't forget your loss is as much for you as theirs is for themselves.

I don't know what else to do in my situation, but i will continue to tell the children that I love them and will never forget their mum as she is in my heart till I die.
I lost my sister in-law one year ago and miss her in much pain as she was also my great and loved friend. She was only 44.
Be strong.

on Let's talk about fathers

These is an extract from a poem I wrote to my father.

From a very young age I remember how tall you stood,
standing so proud and so fearless,
you were always there to extend your hand when I stumbled,
and you were always there to guide me when I veered,
I enjoyed watching you from afar as you worked quietly,
always thinking of your family,
always determined in your endeavours,
I am sure your tasks were colossal but your needs somehow diminutive.

To Sum it up I love him with no compromises.
I hug him and kiss him every time I see him, which unfortunately is not as often as I like due to the distance of travel.

thank you for giving me this opportunity to mention my father.
Alex.

Hi David,
I agree with what you say in your technical assesment of the movie "MONGOL".
However I want to add that visually it is, in my humble opinion the most beautifully photgraphed movie that I have seen apart from Lawrence.
This movie captured me and would not let me go till it finished spinning its magic on me.
I could not put it down if it was a book. It had story, adventure, empathy, love, LOVE, war, mateship, family and some of the most spectacular scenery I have ever seen on film.
I am looking at this movie with my heart not my mind, and it has ignited a zeal for a man's life centuries ago that has lessons for me in my life.

I thank you for your honest assesment.
I CAN NOT WAIT TILL YOU PUBLISH YOUR CRITICAL REVIEW
ON LAWRENCE OF ARABIA..
now that will be hotly debated, I assure you!

keep up your reviews, makes me want to go to the movies
thanks
Alex
