So sorrow’s ale brings memories of joy

 

The art of musing isn’t hard to learn
Instead of tablets,screens,electric toys=…….
A spacious mind may entertain  the spurned

We sometimes  learn this when we need to mourn
As  companions leave, of sympathy  devoid
The art of musing isn’t hard to learn.

As milk ‘s transformed to  butter  as we churn
So sorrow’s ale  brings   memories  of joy
A spacious mind  may entertain  the spurned

 

 

 
The art of living is  one art  we earn
By patience and  with tempers un-annoyed
The art of musing isn’t hard to learn

 

As life goes by,how greatly we may yearn
For lovers lost in  wars akin to Troy
A spacious mind can entertain  the spurned.

 

Unlike  that  mistress tempted to be coy,
We open up our our minds to marvelled joy
The art of musing isn’t hard to learn
A spacious mind  may  entertain  the spurned

 

 

 

 

 

Days

Some days are days for losing

Diaries,letters,lovers.
Some days are days for losing
Fathers,money,mothers.Some days are days for finding
Mobile phones and patience.
Some days are days for finding
New friends and old relations.

Some days I feel at sea for hours,
Some days I feel so lost.
Some days I know that life’s worthwhile
Whatever the emotional cost.

Days are special units
In the journey we call life.
Days are short so don’t waste time
In needless haste or strife.

Watching televisions is not hard

 

Watching televisions is not hard

They can’t walk.

Talk ok and take your views

Of the News.

Flat ones can’t have a  plant on top

alongside the wooden birds

I preferred

As I say,I keep my eye on it.

Watch it secretly when no-one is here

Or near

I’m waiting for it to speak its real words.

Or to ask me a question.

Who are you?

Why do  you watch me?

Have you no shame?

If a television could speak

We wouldn’t be able to understand what’s sad about it.

Jovial limericks.

We don’t hear the word jovial today
As we seem to be caught up in a fray
In Europe or out
We never doubt
Birds sing and horses still neigh.

Jovial belongs to the past
Where men rode and girls were thought fast.
But now it’s a ll gloom
Until very soon
Politics will leave us aghast.

Did You Know?

Jupiter, also called Jove, was the chief Roman god and was considered a majestic, authoritative type—just the kind of god to name a massive planet like Jupiter for. Our word jovial comes by way of Middle French from the Late Latin adjective jovialis, meaning “of or relating to Jove.” When English speakers first picked up jovial in the late 16th century, it was a term of astrology used to describe those born under the influence of Jupiter, which, as a natal planet, was believed to impart joy and happiness. They soon began applying jovial to folks who shared the good-natured character of Jupiter, regardless of their birth date.
