You are never too old to yearn.

    You are never too old to yearn.
    Who is ever too bold for disdain

  • Your watch stops a cold  going   fast
    Hypervigilance is often the worst
  • Stop,how real are those holy  poses?
    Drop  it and feel degraded
    He who meditates is bypassed
    She who cogitates  feels wrath
  • Strike while the irony   laughs
    Like if the trying is tough
  • Book  dreams before you sleep.
    Looks scheme before your very eyes
    Many demands make  eyesight worse
    Many sea sands make eyes curse
  • Two heads are better  and fun
    The  beds are wetter if    in a lake
  • Too many looks are hard to match
    Ready made glances can’t catch
    Measure vice at once
    Leisure at a price in advance
    You can’t kiss your date and beat him too.
    You can miss a date and have a new crew
    A  sore in the head is worse than two bouts of  thrush
    Brides come inside  the Mall today
    The wide come to the Mall for the plus, they say
    Don’t haunt your children  after you  pass
    Don’t count your sperm before you  dispatch [ Donors]

The weather forecast

The weather forecast  is our Bible now
To wise advice, forbidden acts,  we bow
Always wear a hat upon your feet
Keep  mum quiet,make sure to be discreet
Check to see what sun and wind allow

On the summer wind, the  moths may flow
Till pulled to flowers by scent and honey glow
Where they linger in  this Hebraic heat
[Says the weather forecast]

To your pessimistic self ,say No
For this heat makes calculation slow
Let the furrows in  all brows unpleat
Muse upon the News  detached at least
From the Weather Forecast

 

Write to please yourself

Extract:

“What advice would I give to anyone who wants to write?

Don’t listen to any advice, that’s what I’d say. Write only what you want to write. Please yourself. YOU are the genius, they’re not. Especially don’t listen to people (such as publishers) who think that you need to write what readers say they want.

Readers don’t always know what they want. I don’t know what I want to read until I go into a bookshop and look around at the books other people have written, and the books I enjoy reading most are books I would never in a million years have thought of myself.

So the only thing you need to do is forget about pleasing other people, and aim to please yourself alone. That way, you’ll have a chance of writing something that other people WILL want to read, because it’ll take them by surprise.

It’s also much more fun writing to please yourself.

Let Us Eat Eggs

 

https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/good-eggs-for-nutrition-theyre-hard-to-beat#1

With science on our side, we can once again enjoy the wonderfully nutritious egg. Along with milk, eggs contain the highest biological value (or gold standard) for protein. One egg has only 75 calories but 7 grams of high-quality protein, 5 grams of fat, and 1.6 grams of saturated fat, along with iron, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids.

The egg is a powerhouse of disease-fighting nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin. These carotenoids may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older adults. And braindevelopment and memory may be enhanced by the choline content of eggs.

Will revenge make us feel better?

“As with all internal experiences, being mindful of what you are experiencing is the first step. Thoughts of revenge apparently feel good and may be a basic human instinct, perhaps to help us survive. Accept your urges and thoughts of revenge  as a basic human response related to trust.

Trust is important in any relationship and critical for cooperative societies. When you are thinking about revenge, it usually means you believe trust has been broken.  Remember, while the anticipation of revenge may feel pleasurable, the actual carrying out of revenge brings little satisfaction and may create more problems and suffering. Acts of revenge do not repair trust or restablish a sense of justice for both parties.”
