British Person!

Hello British Person 

My stats. said 

You read my blog 

Just one -

Just one of you 

How are you

Today ?

I'm sitting waiting for 

     The doctor to arrive 

Always a good time 

     To communicate 

With friends 

So I wonder if you 

Get 

All the innuendos -

And word choices. From 

The former colony ?

Sometimes I wonder if 

We ever should have 

Left 

The fold 

So-to-speak 

We could have had much 

     Better access 

To much 

     Better 

Tea 

And we 

Certainly would have 

Spoken 

With accents more 

Lilting 

More enjoyable to 

The ear 

So I hope your weather is 

Balmy

And the tube does 

Run on time 

     Make sure to keep your 

English qualities 

For 

I am convinced 

It's the only bloody thing! 

Holding our world together 

Anymore - 

Senior Moments

Can we welcome our senior moments 

Like old friends

Don't they tell us to 

Slow down and be 

Where we are 

For a change 

Yes -

Except I'm standing here 

Not knowing why or where 

Look at the sky -

You are on earth 

Zipping around the sun 

Very zippy. 

Maybe slow down and try 

To keep it simple 

Food, clothing, shelter 

Yes 

     But where 

Did I leave 

Them? 

Move Through Worlds

There's a way to move 

Through worlds -

Dancing 

Let go and move 

Together 

These moves may not be 

Approved 

By the teacher 

But 

We move together 

Making our own 

     Using theirs 

     As a beginning 

     As a starting point 

This sort of dance is a fusion of fun 

And movement 

And music 

Not many can do 

     What you can do

Dear 

If our ankles and knees 

Can keep creaking along 

(At our age) 

I think I can see some very special 

Moments 

Together 

I can see why they say 

It is harder to find 

A dance partner 

Than a spouse 

I am so grateful. 

Millionaires

The millionaires 

Are 

At it again 

Ruining 

The 

Neighborhood!

Building a millionaire house 

Up on the hill 

Overlooking the temple -

Back in the day 

It wasn't this way 

Used to be 

Country here 

Beautiful place 

Overlooking the sea 

Looking a lot like 

Tuscany 

Now there's a new Tuscan villa 

Within sight 

And as I try and meditate 

All I can hear are hammers 

And saws 

Disturbing my peace 

And the peace 

Of this 

Place 

And why the type 

Has changed 

I haven't a clue 

Do u? 

And now to stop 

Messing around and put 

My earplugs in 

And see 

What I can see 

Of 

The other side. 

Try to keep up!

She died 

And today 

     Is 

Her birthday 

I wish she was

     Still here 

To deal with you

     Dear -

Not that I don't 

     Love you 

I do 

     But 

 I'm clueless 

     When it comes 

To - 

     People . . .

What do they want? 

     Why are they here? 

And then -

     They're always 

     Talking !

Endlessly understanding 

     Everything 

More than 

     Me 

- More than I 

     Do -

I try to 

     Keep up 

I tell myself 

     To listen 

And respond 

     Rightly 

But 

     I know 

I'm not very good 

     At it 

Don't they know 

     The friend? 

Aren't they the 

     Least bit interested 

In such things 

     As God's love 

and 

     Eternal bliss 

What ?

I've never understood 

How they can talk 

     Endlessly 

     Of 

          Trivialities -

I try to keep up 

     I do 

How

How can I make something great 

Out of this day ? 

Be thankful for each small thing -

     They say 

Sit 

     Cross legged and 

Contemplate 

But 

Don't 

Think 

     Too much. 

Enough

Why don't they tell us 

In our schools 

What to do 

Just dance the tango 

With friends 

Have a taste of 

     Fine wine 

Talk a little about 

     Nothing 

Why don't they tell us 

In school -

It's about 

The life 

Within 

Which is enough 

For anyone 

If they can only 

     Realize 

They have it
