What not to give me for Xmas 1

This is an electrically heated foot warmer.Imagine sitting listening to Leonard Cohen with your feet in this and someone rings your doorbell

You could have a nasty accident trying to get out of it and stand up.I get very stiff as well.
There’s only one answer…I’ll have to get married again.Not just this, but I hate putting the rubbish out and making my own cup of tea in the morning
In return I shall iron his hankies using an electric hair straightener.That seems a fair deal to me!

How sweet to hear the silence underneath


‘How good to be companion to one’sself
To be alone but not alone to be.
For peace will bring us calm and dreams of wealth
As dreams  and symbols help us all to see.

How sweet to hear the silence underneath
The noises of  this busy urban life
For that which is above, also’ s beneath
An endless sea  where dreams  swim without strife,

How gentle is the silence of the trees
Calm now that the storms have passed and gone
Like boats swing  anchored on   the delphic seas
This soothing silence  enters everyone.

No  more the  fear of loneliness  embrace
Acceptance  gives such  comfort of our days

Wondering how to find a better way

An empty day now full as love and peace
Though sun has changed to rain and skies are grey
A testament to mercy and release.

Yet everywhere the people fight like beasts
The newspapers are filled with lies each day
For me this time  is full  of love and peace

On slander and on libel humans feast
A silent few will hide to praise and pray
Their testament to mercy and release.

The wise will bite their lips and say the least
Until they learn what customs are today
For me this time  is full  of love and peace

Like the lion and tiger we have teeth
Even lovers bite  in childish play
They  too  are  a symbol  of release.

From the mountains,  prophets liked to  gaze
Wondering how to find a better way
Their days not full  of love nor even peace
They  need time to pray for our relief
