SIGHTS, SOUNDS, SMELLS, TASTE AND TOUCH # 2

 

Sights, sounds, smells, taste and touch

It’s funny the things that cause the memories to awake

When all of a sudden memories of Dad flood back

It’s Pipe tobacco, Geraniums and Madeira Cake

PICKUP # 5

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

“Do you believe in love at first sight?”

You might try to ascertain

And then you could continue

“Or should I walk by again?”

HOW THEY EXPLOIT OUR COMPASSION

 

How they exploit our compassion

With emotional blackmail

They paint us

Pitiful tableaux’s

Of fly ridden waifs

Babies at barren breasts

Or portrait images

Of sad saucer eyed children

Beaten and bruised

Or maybe its pictures

Of Maltreated beasts

That pluck at your heartstrings

The tactics used are quite crude

But anything goes

In the “No holds barred”

World of charity fundraising

As long as they can extract

Our 3 pounds a month

While the poor unfortunates,

The sad stars of the charity show

Are merely lost leaders

WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY (3)

 

Who’s minding the store?

What did you do in the war daddy?

When Johnny comes marching home

Where sleeping dogs lie

Why me

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – 28 DAYS (2000)

 

“28 Days” is a Comedy drama, written by Susannah Grant and Directed by Betty Thomas.

 

New York based writer Gwen Cummings (Sandra Bullock) is ordered by the court to enter a drug and alcohol rehab centre for twenty-eight days or go to jail for the same period, after ruining her sister's wedding day when she stole the wedding limousine and when on a drunken joyride before crashing it into someone’s house.

Gwen resents having to be there because although she is aware she drinks too much but doesn't believe it's a problem and if she chose to, she could stop at any time.

Unfortunately, her live-in boyfriend Jasper (Dominic West) encouraged her excessive alcohol consumption because he was just as bad.

Her councillor, Cornell (Steve Buscemi) and the other people in her group sessions, Andrea (Azura Skye), Gerhardt (Alan Tudyk), Oliver (Michael O'Malley), Roshanda (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), Daniel (Reni Santoni), Bobbie Jean (Diane Ladd) and Eddie Boone (Viggo Mortensen), force her to confront her demons and lay the foundations for rebuilding the relationship between Gwen and her sister Lily (Elizabeth Perkins).

TRAFFIC COP – I’M SORRY

 

“I’m sorry” the Officer said

“That I have to give you a ticket sir”

“I’m sorry too” I said “That I forgot

To plug in my radar detector”

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 303

 

There was a chandler making candles

For all the convent girls to handle

Where at night the sister would shout

Its bedtime girls so candles out
